    Re: Scored a set of Vintage rare Octobans

    I too, have never seen them like that ever. That's not the way I remember them. I had two friends who had sets of four.

    Re: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida- Iron Butterfly

    My impression of the drum solo changed forever when the bass player in the band I was in, played it for me virtually note for note lol
    After that, I wasn't impressed at all :)

    The longest stretch of time, I just had the typical 5pc set up, two up one down. The only time I went to a 4pc was for certain jazz gigs and for one wedding band that I used to play for. I did a few...

    Maybe a different teacher would help. Sometimes hearing things in a different way is helpful. The new teacher might have a better approach for you.

    Re: Lars Ulrich

    While he's not one of my favorite drummers (I don't like Metallica), I think he does a good job. I think he is adequate for what their music calls for, but like I said, I don't care for Metallica.
