Nice looking Kit, hope you have a lot of fun with it!!
I've played piano longer than I've played drums. Big benifit for learning drums was I already new how to read music. Drumming did improve my timing, and my ability to read syncopated rhythms on the...
Sorry I've been away so long, don't know how often I'll be back, but I've missed you guys. As you all know life happens and things have been hectic, but mostly good. I've made a real effort to play...
The Answer is Yes you have to go to boot camp and the whole Marine Corp Experience. I have a friend who was in the Marine Drum Corps, and was also in the Army Reserve Band when I was there. It's a...
I spent two of my summers during my Highschool years in drum corp, and it was a very rewarding experience, a made a lot of friends we worked hard, but had a great time doing it. I still run into an...
You read my mind, I was just about to suggest a pair of powered monitor speakers. Good choice. You'll also want a good pair of isolation headphones for recording so you can hear what's going...
I would second the advice to look in the used market. You can get better sounding cymbals for much less money.
When I hadn't been playing drums very long I had a drummer friend show me three against two, and I use that a lot in 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures. I was also show 4 against 3, but I don't tend to use...
Me and I'm sure some of the other older members on here remember my family getting their first TV set (not that TV wasn't around when I was born, but it wasn't until a little while after I was born...
Sounds like you got a great kit, Enjoy!!
I bought a set of Yamaha Stage Customs for our Church, Birch with a 20" bass, nice sounding drums that are holding up well. They are also very reasonably priced. I'm sure the higher end Yamaha kits...
The set looks really great, the stain job with that pattern looks really sweet.
A must listen to for Jazz drumming would be Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" album featuring Joe Morello on drums. Many unusual time signatures including 5/4 in the famous "Take Five" cut, and it also...
I've raised two sons, one is now a Captain in the Army with a degree in Business, and the other one will graduate from college next year. Taking away things in exchange for good grades was one of...
I've owned a lot of Yamaha gear over the years, including one of their powered mixers, and it's always been very reliable. I've also got a small Behringer mixer I bought for home use. It is OK but I...
Playing on a cheap guitar with poor set-up etc. is a very discouraging thing for sure. You will find this less of a problem with drums since you aren't tryiing to physically push down strings that...
I paid about $200 for my HH classic ride used. So I think you got a great deal the 20" HH rides go for over $300 new. Yours looks in pretty decent shape, Good Find!!
You could have a defective hoop that is slightly smaller than it should be, or out of round, etc. If the hoop is round, and lays flat a slightly smaller size shouldn't hurt anything. I've got...
Sorry to hear about your hard times, but you manned up and did the right thing. I've been there: we were putting an addition on our house about 20 years ago so our sons could have separate bed...
I'm currently dealing with tendonitis in my right arm, I would say see your Dr. mine gave me some anti-inflamatories, and had me ice it often, avoid use as much as possible, and wear a velcro band...
I personally am not a big SG fan mainly because it isn't the best choice for the styles of music I play. I play mostly Country, Jazz, light rock, CCM, and pop styles, and find for me that...
121 is the way to go if you can afford it. Not only do you get personal attention but you progress at your own pace. Many times people get bored with group lessons because everyone in the group...
You have to look at how busy the schedule is or each group. I've been in two bands before but each of them did about 6 gigs a year, so there wasn't much chance of a double booking. I do regret some...
very funny thanks for sharing.
I don't pay that much attention to what I have on my feet whatever I'm wearing at the time, seems to work for me.
