Obviously goes without saying, I was just commenting on the fact the look is a bonus. The sound is what you're after!

I believe that there are PDF's on the DVD (which I'm sure you own) with a list of the equipment that Thomas is using in this video.

Start by buying this snare.
Buying the same heads.

If you wanted to warm the sound up a little and make it look more 'timeless'/authentic, you could also put coated ambassadors on the bottom. I have these on the bottoms of my DW Jazz series and they...

Hi folks,
Just a note to say that the awesome people at Zildjian updated my profile at the Zildjian website! Nifty looking page IMO!!

I just heard from Zildjian that Steve Gadd is doing a European Clinic tour in April. It's going to be like the "Mission From Gadd" tours he's done in the USA, but there WILL be dates in England.

Ricky,
It's worth noting that those are English measurements. Meaning all the sizes Bafke listed are the "diameter X depth".

If there's something you need, just contact them and they'll make it...

Thanks so much Eric!
The band is actually a vocal group that usually does stuff with track, but the record company has employed a band recently to give the live stuff more edge. I think it works...

Thanks mate,
I love playing the cajon! I only hope I do such a wonderfully diverse instrument justice! It's a beautiful thing, the cajon!!

Hey folks,
If you're around and by a radio tomorrow (Tuesday), I'm doing a live session for the Live Lounge series on BBC Radio 1 between 10am and 12:45pm. Choon in if you can and hurl abuse at your...

May I ask who you're endorsed with zzzdanz?

Hi guys,

I have endorsments with my companies, my favourite cymbal company, my favourite stick company and my favourite drumhead company. I really believe that if you are after something for...

Mine would be my Gary Noonan Prototype Fibreglass snare. 14"x6.5", does everything, exceptionally well!

I'll tend to work through some of the patterns I remember from Gary Chester's book "The New Breed". Doing something from a study like that should warm up all your limbs, rather than just one!

I can't work out if you were being sarcastic? Are you kidding?!?

I wouldn't use a double ply head, (like the Emperor) for your underside, resonant head. It will completely kill the tone of your lovely drum!

Really?!?!
What are their names?!?! :shifty:

A great teacher once told me,

"Nothing will take the place of perseverence. Talent will not, money will not, time will not."

Qualitative, focused, repetetive practice will help you achieve...

Guys,

Have any of you tried Canopus wires? I can only recommend that you grab a set of Canopus "Wet" wires if you are looking for more of a 'snarey' sound. They are 20 strand and so don't choke...

Man,
I gotta tell you, it was a blast. I was so honoured to be a part of his 'team' as he called it. He is a true pro and there are some super stories about him. He has a very rhythmic voice, and a...

Sorry for the late reply,
I have two Rhythm Watches, one that stays at home for practice and one that stays out in my stick bag for shows.

The first one I have had for about 9 years, and it's...

It's definately not a Genista, although we've really established that by now!!

I am selling my Genista which Premier custom built for me. It's such a sad day as it was my first pro kit, but I am...

In UTTER disbelief...

God Bless Michael and thanks for the legacy...

Hi 2slow!

Yes, I am very lucky to make a living out of playing drums! I have been super lucky to have played with some great artists too, both in the studio and live.

My website needs a little...
