    Iron Cobra Power Glide Question

    Just a quick question. I like a pedal that has resistance, that kind bounces back a bit and is tight if that makes sense. I have a Speed cobra but hate the long board and with the spring up it's very...
  2. Re: Switching from p pad to real drum problem?

    I've often heard other drummers call it "pad hands." There's just so much rebound it won't be the same. My rudiments are so strong on a pad but on a snare I can be pretty weak until I sit at the drum...
  3. Got a new snare today: GMS Revolution with Brass

    Link to Audio

    So as you all know, I was asking about snares. Well, I got one. I had decided on a GMS Super Vintage because of clips my locals drum shop had. Well I e-mailed them and they mentioned...

    Re: Anyone use/have the Swamp Dawg snare?

    They have definitely come up. During my search the GMS Super Vintage has surfaced, which I'm pretty interested in. So I might seek one out locally to try.

    Re: Anyone use/have the Swamp Dawg snare?

    I use a Krupa snare right now (but probably going to trade it) and an Acrolite. I figured this might work good for that old sound, since it's mahogany and such. But honestly, I've found in the price...

    Anyone use/have the Swamp Dawg snare?

    Hoping to hear some opinions on this snare drum, mainly its volume and how well it cuts. I do mostly blues so need something that cuts and has pop. Also wondering where it is made. Thanks!

    Re: Videos from a blues gig I did.

    Tad, that's the plan. The only playing out of Maine I've done is in New England and in a country/folk band and it was in Vermont so kind of went a bit hipstery on that one! I appreciate the nice...

    Re: Videos from a blues gig I did.

    We have the opposite issue in Maine. We're about to have the biggest snow storm of the year possibly, and spring is about to hit. It's a horrible place at times because of how the seasons run.

    Re: What was i thinking?

    Cool stuff man! I'm 5'5" and prefer smaller kits. I've recorded with bigger bass drums and they have a great tone but I do enjoy feeling sizable compared to the drumset so the toms are lower than...

    Re: Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Cymbal Series

    They sound awesome, just wouldn't fit in with most except the jazz end of things or if you're going out there with it.

    I'm not one for the bright A sound, but it is prevalent in the old blues...

    Videos from a blues gig I did.

    So I play a lot of classic blues gigs. This guy is a harmonica player who does a lot of Little Walter sounding stuff. Here's a video of me playing with him and some audio of us doing Little Walter. ...

    Re: Meinl Byzance Extra Dry Cymbal Series

    I'll love their tone, but it'd wouldn't fit in at all with most of my purposes (which absolutely sucks). I have to think reasonably...will the harmonica players want to hear this while they play some...

    Re: Hi-hat stands around $100?

    A lot of people mention the Tama 605, which seems like a great choice. I'll have to check it out.

    Regarding double bass, I don't use one. I use a Speed Cobra single.

    Hi-hat stands around $100?

    I figured I should get another one since the one I have is like...a $20 one. I play mostly blues and jazz, I don't need anything too fancy but I don't know much about the stands out there. I figured...
