Agreed.

I'm so jealous! I saw them on the Give me Ed 'Till I'm Dead tour in 2003... and I really want to go see them on this tour. They STILL haven't announced all of their USA tour dates though...

Break beat... ooh, that's a tough one to define.

It's kind of like playing a basic beat, but then throwing in accents and starting the beat again from the accent... bad definition, I know. It's...

I don't know how some of you guys play with 7A's! They're so tiiiiiiiny. They might just feel that way to me cause I've used 2Bs for as long as I can remember. I only recently began to use 5Bs (Vic...

Thanks... and yes, most of it came from a single pedal PB. Right near the end there is some double-kick playing in there that you might not be able to hear cause of the sound quality.

Thanks guys... I appreciate the feedback!

Your videos were great Taylor. Your band is really good as well!

Well, here's a video of me. I was messing around earlier today with this, and I kinda like it, haha. It's in 11... I count it as...

Great videos everyone!

I might post one here in a few days when I get the chance!

Pork Pie all the way!!

I never liked Roc n Socs... I've sat in a few different ones, including with and without backrests, and I never liked them.

I loooooooove my Pork Pie though!

Uh, and...

I'm more of a Flo fan myself. George Kollias, Flo Mounier, and Derek Roddy are definitely the top extreme metal drummers today in my opinion. Ooh, I guess I can't forget Inferno either! And of...

Long time no post for me...

This is probably coming in a little late, but who knows, maybe it'll help anyways? The way I would try to explain that to someone is to think of it as the first part of...

I thought this deserved a thread of it's own.

Excellent job on The Sound of Muzak!
I love Porcupine Tree, and that is by no means an easy song.

I started working on that 7/4 groove and kinda...

I played snare during marching band, but other than that I was on keyboard percussion the rest of the year. Our marching band was far too small (and far too poor) to have a front ensemble.

Does anyone know a good program to use for compressing files? I was thinking of uploading a video for the heck of it, but when I tested out the camera to see how big the video would be, it was...

I used to have a similar problem when I was using a piccolo snare drum. It was an entry level Pearl steel shelled piccolo snare, and it sounded like a tin can too. Well, recorded that is. When I...

Higher. I have balance issues if my thighs are parallel or lower.

Stevo, I've heard of people doing that. In fact, I just watch an Axis pedal demostration video where a guy was using after market extra-high tension springs for one set of pedals. I've thought about...

Nevermind, I just now saw that poll at the top of the thread.

So now, is the idea behind this contest to take something simple and make it sound interesting?

Wonderful comment, Stix.

I've been playing for about 7-8 years now, and have been playing the kit for 5 of those years. I just turned 19, and it's hard to believe that I've been playing for such...

What are these? Pictures in the everyday life of drum chick? Haha... that'd probably be funny if two or three people hadn't made that comment already.

YEAAH Iron Maiden!

Just on a side-note, birch records BEAUTIFULLY. I've never owned a maple kit. I'm only on my second kit (first real kit, I suppose) and it's all birch. I've played a few friend's maple kits but not...

Eh well, do whatever you want to do! I personally think it makes more sense to practice on a pad with towels as opposed to pillows because a pad with towels gives a more realistic feel than a pillow....

Lafirin, that one exercise I mentioned in PB's thread about hand speed will help a lot with your timing as well. If you can play accurately and precisely at slooooow tempos, it'll be much easier to...

Yes! I've got some advice-- DON'T play into a pillow! Layer some towels on your practice pad instead. I can't say that this is my own advice... something I've learned from JoJo Mayer (not personally...
