I've got a Gretsch Blackhawk set that I bought at a pawnshop. The wrap is a midnight blue with a little sparkle to it, but it's a little beat up and it's bubbling a little on some of the drums. I...

Like I said before, I'm not too bad upset about it, I just wanted to make sure that the rules of drum etiquette were the same that they used to be. I'm really glad she wants to play drums; as a...
Trying to follow Cameron really got me working on keeping a slow steady ride and get my bass foot going individually, even if his playing wasn't fast. He is rock solid and totally drives the songs...
I'm not overly worried about it. I was just curious as to whether I was being totally selfish. As of last night, and talking to a friend this morning who laughed with me about it, my plan is just to...
Hey, everyone, I've got an etiquette question for you. Okay, first a little background. I learned years ago that you didn't just plop down behind someone else's set. It's like kissin' another dude's...
Nope. Can't top that.
When our band was practicing, I figured I would bring out my brushes. They were collapsible so you had to sling 'em out to get the brush out of the handle. I pop 'em out and...
Thanks for the encouragement on my set. It's my second Gretsch set with Paistes. My first set was also a Blackhawk, white with black resonant heads and Paiste 2002s. I love the blend and couldn't...

My Gretsch Blackhawk (pawnshop pony) 5-piece. 12",13" toms, 16" floor tom, 22" bass; Remo pinstripe batters, factory...
Only 9 pedals?! Amateur.:icon_wink:
I would just turn on the radio in my basement and butcher every song I heard (it was 1987/88). The first song I remember playing to was "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer.:doh:

I'm mostly visual/kinetic. Maybe that's why I like drums so much (and hand drums, B-Bro! I play congas at our church, too, and I caught my daughter playing her Disney princess trashcan, so I got her...
Sweet vid! I love Jeremy Camp, too. His work is awesome and his musicians are all great, too. I'd love to see him in concert. I'll get to see one over Christmas and I'm totally excited.
I was...
I was never in a drumline, but I always like watching the DCI championships. Some of those drum corps are amazing. I saw them again last night on ESPN. Did anyone else catch them? Which were your...
15 is a great age to start, but so is any age! I started at 17 and played till I was 25,then just started back after 12 years off. Your vibe skills will transfer right in both rhythmically and...
Apart from a hh and ride, I only have 16" crash and a 10" splash (for right now). A splash is a great way to fill in a quick space in your playing, like after a double on the snare instead of a quick...
I play Schalloch congas on basket stands, but I just got my daughter Synergy bongos for her 5th birthday. They have that same cherry finish which looks pretty sharp. And they sound good to me.
