Re: Semi new to drumming
Hi, MagnaRyder! Welcome aboard (and welcome back to drumming!)
drummer gave you many excellent suggestions, but I have a couple of suggestions of my own...Remo makes a muffling ring (called, appropriately enough, Muffl-Os) which could help you on your bass sound. Might also get some info about drum tuning so you can get the best sounds out of your current heads; sometimes a little time spent retuning the heads can make a major difference.
Would also invest in a good comfy drum throne. Doesn't have to be an expensive one (especially if you're just getting started), but it'll make a big difference when you're practicing or playing for extended periods. That folding chair even looks uncomfortable...
And, as my sig suggests, "don't keep it to yourself." Playing with other musicians can help you go from "semi new" to "experienced" surprisingly fast...
Again, welcome aboard, bro'!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
