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...

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...

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...
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.
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...
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!
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...
Thanks man! Trying my best :drumset-3:
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.
We...
Hey everyone! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I spend a lot of time with the shuffle feel and really listening to classic blues to hear the nuances in how the feel is different...
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...
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...
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. ...
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...
I'll look into Yamaha too just to figure it out!
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.
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...
That was Krupa in Ball of Fire performing Drum Boogie! Barbara Stanwyck is the actress in the film.
RIP Vic Firth, the man who created such an amazing legacy! Vic Firth - I use all of his amazing sticks, he was such a cool man I've heard. RIP :(
Open blues jams. You show up and just play like four songs, those are pretty sweet!
I just found this amazing video with Hampton on drums! He's doing a battle with Chico Hamilton and Krupa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbMlHAFZXx0
Each one of them has a separate sound, so...
Big Krupa fan. When I was sorta out of the game, I saw a Krupa video and it really inspired me to start playing again. In fact, the guy who got me into drumming when I was like 4 or 5, Peter Criss,...
Try doing doubles where the first stroke of each hand is clearly accented. Then do inverted doubles, which is like this: r ll rr ll (you start with a single so that the beat is on the second stroke,...
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. The snare is definitely the best. So glad it's finally up and running, so to speak!
Thank you! It's been a longggg time coming with this snare! $300...
Hey guys, just did another really cool gig. I've been playing a lot lately. I just did a week long stint playing drums for some plays for K-5 students and then did a set for a jazz/funk gig. Here was...
