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.

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...
Nice! I still love my old Force 3000s. I'll bet you will be happy with your new kit.
Yeah, the idea is live sound, for the most part, although I expect to use them for some rehearsal recording. I chose the three models listed in the first post due to reviews I've read, but wanted to...
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...
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...
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,...
I think I've read every mic post on this forum, but one nagging question remains. Which of the following (assuming you have personal or anecdotal experience with one or all of my choices) would you...
Wow! A new #1 on my 'Most Beautiful Snare Drums' list! Can't wait to hear how you like the sound.
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...
Pro-Mark 5As and Vic Firth 7As here. I've got 6 pairs each of Vic Firth Carmine Appice and Charlie Watts signature sticks my well-meaning daughter bought me as a birthday gift, but I haven't tried...
One thing you might consider is offering rehearsal rooms for bands. Sound proof the rooms, install inexpensive drums, amps and a simple PA and rent equipment like keyboards to musicians who don't...
Diasgree. Take the cowbell and leave the singer at home. Anyone can sing, but mastering the cowbell takes real talent!
Some time ago, Arbiter in the U.K. made Autotune drums which did not use lugs. I see them pop up occasionally for sale.
With all due respect to the outrageous rumors perpetuated in this thread, I happen to be in posession of the actual truth of the matter: John was slapping Jimmy Page. That was the sound at the...
Yep, photography is hard, but having a beautiful model helps. Very, very nice!
I love the responses to this thread! Just to be absolutely clear, I do not begrudge the beginning drummer who has a $5000 DW set. I am sincerely happy for him. And I certainly understand Gear...
This....
I was beginning to doubt myself. :)
Young man, the key words are contained in your initial post..."I want to keep playing and I love it." Go forth and drum.
A Drummer Am Born! You have fun and tell us all about it!
Just browsing through a number of threads from people looking to upgrade from beginner to mid-level to pro sets and began wondering just how much of our perceptions on drumming are shaped by the gear...
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...
