Greetings, all.

I am one of the drummers for my university's Jazz Band, and we have several swing tunes this semester. One of them reads "swing in 2" for most of the song, but during the section...

Wow, beautiful drums!

Wow, that cajon is very cool! My dad and I are good woodworkers, we may just try to build one on our own: http://caseyconnor.org/cajon.

Thanks for the tips!

Hey everyone. I'm looking to purchase some kind of hand drum. My friend Dan brings his acoustic guitar to a lot of parties, and I want to have some kind of hand drum for "unplugged" play, if you...

Cool, my name is Jason, too!

What are some cool songs that are similar to Wipe Out by The Surfaris and Woo Hoo by The Rock-A-Teens? These songs have great drums!

YouTube - Surfaris - Wipeout
YouTube - [music] The 5.6.7.8's -...

Yeah, I was kind of sad when it was over 'cause I only got to play 2 songs. I wanted to get back up and play more, but the lady in charge made us pack everything up and leave. That was also my first...

It was nothing like what I had expected. In the past, when people have come over---particularly non-musicians---to listen to me play, I've gotten nervous and screwed up. Up there on the stage with...

I played my first unofficial gig last night. It wasn't really a gig because there were a lot of people doing different things, but I got up and played two songs: Boston by Augustana and Folsom Prison...

Dude, you're good. As soon as my band can settle on a name, I'm coming to you.

That's a good point, I wouldn't want to crack a real expensive cymbal. I'd like to get something that I can use for the next 5 years, at least.

Where's the best place to get used cymbals?

See my current cymbal status in my sig. The bell on the ride sounds good, but hitting the face of it sounds like crap unless it's with brushes. The splash doesn't sound that good, either, and is a...

I have a friend who hums the beat while he plays. It's hilarious when he puts headphones on and plays his electric kit, 'cause all you hear is him humming. :icon_mrgreen:

Maple Gold Cherry Sunburst, then Ash Textured Black Sunburst, then Ash Sapphire Fade

"Just because you are a character doesn't mean you have character."

I've noticed that there are infinite possibilities when it comes to cymbal customization. One characteristic I've seen on several cymbals is these little dent-like features. Here's what I'm talking...

Yes

Welcome to DrumChat, wailgirl! I like your attitude. Confidence and practice will cause the intimidation of which you speak to cower in fear and run away :punk:

Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

I prefer traditional, mostly because my "drummer idols", so to speak, are guys like Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, and my dad; they played traditional almost all the time.

There's a lot of talk surrounding the Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD battle. Which of the two is the victor has yet to be determined, but all I know is that...

I WIN!

Great job! I wish we could play like that!

Thanks, man! The day they leave my possession will be the day I die (excluding my future son/daughter, hopefully).

Nice! That was some cool stuff towards the end; the no sticks and then the unorthodox kind of sound from hitting the sticks that way.

Oh yeah, and nice shirt & hat! I like the set, too.

My name is Jason Kriaski, and I was born in 1990. Yeah, I'm not that creative.
