On the bass drum.

Why did the cat cross the road? Because it was stapled to the chicken.

Hi Gang, I've never done a video of myself drumming before. I got the sheet music to Crazy Army today and I thought I'd give it a try. Still needs a lot of work but here goes:

I love seeing restorations. Something about an old worn out item getting a new life. Well done. She's a beauty.

Stanton Moore uses an LP black beauty with a foot pedal. I use a black beauty mounted on my bass drum. Great sounding bell.

Congrats, I'm happy for you. Waiting on a Ludwig order myself.

I choose which car I'm going to buy based on how good the dashboard drumset sounds.

Ringo's first Ludwig set was 20", 12", 14" and prob a 5.5 X 14 snare. This 2nd set, and the one used on most stuff was 22", 13", 16". He used the same snare the whole time.

Thanks Vibes. Nice kit, what sizes you got there? Is that an 18" bass?

Just outside Boston myself.

Hey thanks, that's a 6.5" X 14". I've also got a place on the Cape, in Falmouth. Small world.

Inthpktplayer, I love that setup. And ooh, a chance to post a pick of my Classic Maple Snare. I just order the whole kit in this wrap. 14 x 22 bass, 9 x 13 rack and 16 x 16 floor. ...

It felt pretty long. I just ordered the rest of the kit. Classic Maple in Vintage Black Oyster. 9x13, 16x16, 14x22. This will be a long 8-12 weeks!

Pastor Bob, thanks for noticing. Hope you got a chance to listen to some of our stuff.

Thanks. Here's the inside:

Thanks Marko. Sounds great too. Exactly what I was hearing in my head. Deep resonant sound with real nice clarity. Got a moongel on it now to dry it out. I might try cast hoops on it to help...

Thanks guys. Yes, definitely worth the wait. I can't wait to gig with it. Saving up now to get the rest of the set.

Thanks. Negative on the reinforcement rings.

I'm excited. Took 10 weeks but my new snare arrived today. Ludwig Classic Maple, 6.5 X 14, vintage black oyster wrap, P-86 strainer, die cast butt, triple flanged hoops and mini classic lugs.

Hour and a half of rudiments again.

Worked on some shuffle exercises given by my drum teacher, a few pages out of Bass Drum Control and some general noodling. About 2 hours.
