I complete agree - it's going to be your perfect ideal setup...until it isn't.
I've been in your shoes. I had everything I wanted, pretty much hand picked down to my throne, pedals and cymbals,...

I complete agree - it's going to be your perfect ideal setup...until it isn't.
I've been in your shoes. I had everything I wanted, pretty much hand picked down to my throne, pedals and cymbals,...
I hope it went well - I see that this thread is 6 days old so you are already through it.
Over the years I have learned that there are some sure fire ways to help set you up for success for...
I think that the guy is fantastic and having done some recording recently, my hat is off to guys like J.R. Robinson who do it daily for their living. The fact that he does it with such finesse and...
I think that J.R. Robinson has surpassed Blaine.
I think I may have mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I think it is worth mentioning again that when they did the big Beatles Anthology thing on TV, I enjoyed the interviews with Ringo the most....
UPDATE:
I did some recording over this last week, and my initial attempts were done with my overheads just kind of placed haphazzardly. I changed this to the Recorderman placement technique and...
Find a set of used Zildjian New Beats and call it a day. New Beats are probably on more recordings from the early 60s to today than most other hats combined.
If not New Beats, Sabian AA Mediums -...
I'd agree with that - knowing how to break down and count a measure out is a benefit of knowing some basics about music. I don't read music when I play drums, but I probably use the knowledge I have...
Same thing for me, but I graduated HS in 1989. I did go to a tech school though - graduated from that in 1999.
There is a lot of value to be had with used drums - go to your local Guitar Center if you have one and check out the used kits they have on hand. There are some real gems in the $250-$500 price...
The triplet swing feel is really more of a starting point than anything else. When I was at the Armed Forces School of music they really emphasized the triplet swing feel as being the equivalent to...
I feel ya dude! I did a wedding band gig (on trumpet) in the middle of the heatwave last summer, and when we got to the venue we found that it was under a tent outdoors. They tried to make it...
Without going too far into the weeds, let me first start by saying that for me drums are a second instrument, trumpet being my first. As a trumpet player I'm classically trained - I read sheet music...
;) I was just giving you a hard time about it - kind of that Sabian vs. Zildjian thing.
Having said that, I do have a bit of an issue with the idea you proposed by saying, "Sabian only started in...
From what I've heard, even flipping a set of hats upside-down can give them a clearer, more definied attack - I tried it once and my hats were more aggressive sounding. I didn't wind up leaving them...
Considering that Armand is dead, I'd say that Robert is probably winning. :icon_wink:
I don't think that Sabians crack any more readily than any other brand, although it could be that Sabian...
I sent an email and got a response within 20 minutes - Marko, several emails went back and forth, and honestly, the response time was quicker than what I experience with co-workers and customers at...
I had NO idea they would do that. I'm contacting them about a 16" HHX Studio crash that has the very beginnings of a crack on the edge.
Thanks - I appreciate that. It definitely gets the job done and it's pretty versatile, but it isn't always practical to use. The next show I play I'll probably be relegated to using ear-plugs...
this is what I've currently got going with my IEM Rig so that I can use a click track:

I'm going to explain how this is put together...
I'm sorry to hear about your current situation. Did you get laid off, or were you let go directly? I'd hate to hear that it was the latter because it sounds like you were pretty good for this...
For the first time in a while I went through the Pennysaver yesterday - the weekly classified adds publication local to my area. It was really sparse. Craigslist is probably partly to blame for...
The American Rifleman magazine went back to printing their magazine on much thinner page stock than they had been for a while.
Even Glad trashbags are getting into it with their "Force Flex"...
I'll echo what the others say - if you have the opportunity to try them out a bunch of pedals, that's the best approach.
I've fiddled a bit with a Speed Cobra and I don't think it's for me. I...
Good luck on this one Rick - I hope it works out for you this time.
