    Re: Drummers!!!Electronic or Acoustic?

    I bought an e-kit (Roland) about three years ago to use as a practice set in my apartment. They sounded great, but for some reason, I never really enjoyed playing them much. So I sold them, bought...

    My bass player posted this link on my facebook page. It's to an article in yesterday's The Independent. I thought those who enjoyed Cream and Blind Faith, etc. might like to read it.

    Sticky: Re: Rogers Drums Discussion

    The Spanish Gold is my favorite Rogers color. I have a 1975 script logo set, which is rather unusual since Spanish Gold doesn't appear until the 1976 catalog. I have seen a couple os other script...

    Re: Overhead choice - durability

    I was figuring on placing the overheads in X-Y configuration, but had not thought of placing them behind me. And often times, as you say, a kick mic is enough, especially in small clubs. I...

    Re: Good "gig" cymbals?

    Either the A Customs or 2002s would work. Both sound good to me. I am using 16" and 18" AAXPlosions, along with Stage Hats like you, and they work well in club gigs. They definitely cut through...

    Re: Overhead choice - durability

    I've read a number of your posts regarding Oktava and am leaning towards them. Being a retired U.S. military-grade guy, I appreciate the Russian's build quality. I won't be modifying them, however,...

  11. Re: Match grip strengthens traditional grip?

    I couldn't say why, but I've been switching between matched and traditional grip, depending on the song, for many years and have noticed the same thing. Weird, indeed!

    Aside from being one of drumming's greats, he is also a nice man. A few years ago I was working at a music awards show in Brussels and he was the emcee for the program. A member of our crew...

    Re: Looking for holes in Bus. Idea

  16. Re: Can you attach a hoop without using lugs?

    Some time ago, Arbiter in the U.K. made Autotune drums which did not use lugs. I see them pop up occasionally for sale.

    I'll agree with this. Played a gig a month ago on an ancient Remo kit with an 18". A little tuning during the sound check and it sounded good. I had a short adjustment period with tom spacing, but...
