I grew up on the West Coast during the 60s and Mr. Sandy Nelson was the main reason I switched from playing the trumpet on the drums! Let there be drums and wipeout were what got me hooked! To this...

You can download the manual from DW's website. I keep the springs about medium tight which gives me plenty of control and response.

I am a big fan of direct drive pedals and can't wait to get my feet on this pedal. I just pre-ordered the double pedal yesterday. It will be available in May. Once I put it to the test I'll let you...

Years before you had sooo many choices in marching sticks we stuck with the 3S model. Pro-mark had these golden oak sticks we used. We could cut an inch off the butt end and tape the tapered end with...

I always hate to hear when a talented drummer is injured. I remember when Rick Allen lost hi arm in a car crash. I was such a fan and thought it was over but he came back and played again. Travis...

It's all about what do like and your style of music. I've played it and it didn't give me the same response as my 20'' Zildjain custom K dry ride. NEVER BUY CYMBALS ONLINE!!!!!! They will only ticked...

I had the same feeling of being unbalanced when I first tried a double bass pedal. I also have a bad back so I bought a throne with a adjustable back rest to help. I lean foward slightly when I play...

I prey for him and his loved ones as he recovers.

There is no best drummer past or present. Why do I say that? because as a drummer I may like a few because their style and technique is how I play but you may disagree because they don't appeal to...

When the Who came out there weren't too many drummers out there that would push the envelope like he did. I had the chance to see the Who back in the 70's and he really had a stage presence. To...

When I was in high school our music director thought we needed a percussion director to make our drumline better. All but afew of us were in Drum Corps so we thought we didn't need the help. We had...

I used a type of foam rubber called acustic foam to sound proof my garage. I put it on the garage door. When I prepare to play I attach it to the garage door panels and it is held in place with...

Thanks to all for the kind remarks. I have skipped the shaving thing for afew days!!!! As for the gift I was lucky enough to have a fellow soldier who plays and he suggested the idea to the others.

I had the same thing when I was in Drum Corps. I have not had the problem since I switch to using rebound to power the stroke. There are many techniques you can use to play without pain. I used to...

Building endurance...well everyone has given some great advice. I have a moongel practice pad that I put on top of my snare to do endurance drills. Basically I start out doing 8 bars of sinlges, then...

I'm trying to find out who played the drums for eric clapton when he recorded "Cocaine".

I started on a 4 piece but after afew years I got a 6 piece set. My father owned the 4 piece and he couldn't understand why I wanted more drums. It wasn't until I was old enough to get a decent...

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Technique is the key to playing long, fast tune. I had the same problem but when I started studing the Gladstone, Moeller, and Tension free techniques I found that once I got it down I was playing...

I totally agree. We are very blessed as drummers to have such a wide selection of drums, cymbals, hardware, and accessories available to us. Many of you may remember when there was only a few choices...
