Aloha! So recently, I wanted to go for a vintage look with my bass drum, and I came across a Remo powerstroke 3 Fibreskyn simulated calfskin FA (ambassador weight). I loved the look of it as it...

The solution is to buy a snake. How far is the stage from the sound board? You could easily do an 100 foot snake with 50-100 foot instrument cables. As for the speakers, you can always do 100's with...

Maybe not your head, but mines a little hard. It's probably crack my cymbals.

P.S. sorry for double posting. I saw Xweasals post right after I posted my last response.

Well I've been playing 9 years, so I hope I'm qualified to answer... The way I count cut time in response to BPM is to double the speed in 4/4. So cut time at 208 equals 4/4 at 416. So yes, you will...

Great example. However the biggest factor on how you count 9/8 is speed... Pretty much anything above 160 makes it difficult to count the 8th notes. At that point you could just "feel" the groove but...

A great 9/8 piece is Blue Rondo ala Turk by Dave Brubeck... I count it as one and uh two and uh three and uh, even though the notation appears one and two and three and four and uh... The trick with...

So recently I have been playing a lot of different stuff (folk music, acoustic covers, auxiliary jazz percussion, orchestral mallets etc...) than my usual style, and it lead me to think more about...

Yeah saluda's are phenomenal. I haven't heard one I haven't likes yet. Hoping to ship my trade ins next week and get Jaime working on my full set. Love the idea of affordable, custom cymbals made in...

18" ranges from 138.99 to 157.99 email info@saludacymbals.com and let him know what your looking for soundwise

I was never intending to purchase one of these kits. I love my Yamaha lol. Anyway, I just wanted to share the potential deal. I hadn't check scam reports. Sorry guys.

So i wanted to share something I stumbled across while researching Asian manufacturing. I found alibaba.com and what this site is, is a way for stores/companies etc... To connect with suppliers. Well...

Have saluda make a custom one for you. It should be around your price range and Jaime Lambert over there can make any cymbal look and sound how you want. I'm replacing my whole set with saludas I'm...

Those are prototypes from one of the past year's Sabian Cymbal Vote competetion (the 2013 one is going on already, google it) whoever is selling them must have won the contest. There's a cleaner I...

Great thread! I'm lucky that I play drums and bass for a church that puts a huge focus on worship. I play 2 services on Sunday morning and one in the evening. The church has two sites, the...

Hey guys! Long time no see! So I sold my 4 piece Yamaha stage custom shells and picked up a vintage Slingerland Jupiter 8 piece kit!

The Slingerland has 10,12,13,14,15,16,18 toms, and a 24 bass....

I wish I had a local shop that was of high quality like yours... Unfortunately, there's not a lot of options... I live between two bigger towns and in the town with the GC there's 3 other shops, one...

I have only had GREAT experience at my local GC. I've bought enough equipment (new and used) that the guys are familiar with me, and they cut me deals pretty often... Like allowing me to mix n match...

Hey guys! Long time no see! I just wanted to share of my

I try to support local shops, but its hard to do, because for instance when i walk into the local G.C looking for on thing, they usually have a good price and a sale on something else ive been...

know this is late, but i use my 17 Z custom medium crash as a secondary ride. i actually get a really nice dark ride sound of it. Ive seen used Z customs up to 20" for the most 150. i got mine for...

pretty cool, however im wondering what will happend to zildjian sticks. dosent seem logical to have zildjian's brand of sticks if they are partners with vic firth.

i usually subdivide like this

1. 1e&a2e&a3e&a4e&a (16ths, 4/4)
or
2. 1&a2&a3&a4&a (triplets, 4/4, swung 4/4, or 12/8)

if im trading measures in jazz or have a certain number of measures until...
