Nice I like that you didn't over clean or polish the hardware. Still has a nice patina to it.

Try RKRKRK etc between your floor tom and the kick drum. Alternate between the two while keeping steady time. Quarter notes, 8ths, and 16ths. Like the above stated, start slow. I needed something...
Nice to be back. Just wrapping up a basement remodel job on my home and raising a 3 year old. Couldn't believe my last login time! Nice to see some old friendly faces here.
God bless

one 13 or 14 tom up and a 16 and 18 floor tom are a nice setup for Metal. Thats just my take and I think its similar to what Bonaham of Led Zeplin played and he pulled it off nicely. There is no...
Ditto on Stick Control unfortunately no dvd. Its an old title. Stick Control: For the Snare Drummer (9781892764041): George Lawrence Stone: Books
Primal connection on a subconscious level. As basic as hunger, sexual drive, fight or flight. I love that feeling of sitting in a pocket with a good bass player.
Working my way through "stick control:For the Snare Drummer" bout 15 min a night at a variety of tempos finding its building muscle memory and its spilling into my kit playing. Surprisingly good...

Hard to argue with this classic. Not as sexy as the newer brands but has been around for a long time (1937)

Perfect! well said Some guys play twice as good as me but enjoy it only half as much.
Cool video thanks for posting!
Smacked my glasses off my face clear across the room and one of the kids sitting in the front row of church brought them back to me :-) That was pretty funny.
Good pedal. I have had mine for 3 years now. I have 2 stripped screws in the piece that connects the slave to the main. They have so much redundancy that it was not an issue and I had plenty of...
agree Gibraltar is good stuff for the money.
I play in a praise and worship band on Sundays. Frequently other members of our group intro the songs and are not always perfect with the tempo. Because of this the first few bars are usually an...
I am a big fan of both Vic Firth and ProMark. There sites have good info regarding your question. Here are some links I thought you would find helpful. The 5A 5B 2B sizes all are like your Guitar...
Loved Louie from the first time I saw him. Guys like him made it ok for me to trot out an xtra bass drum while playing Jazz band in HS
I would second on the bar keepers if you are to the point of throwing things out. Works great when I used it on Pans in the kitchen... its a powder so mix with a little water and make a paste out...
What a great kit. Thanks for posting
I play a round seat with a hydraulic leaver for raising and lowering it. Real nice when sharing a kit between two drummers at Church who like different heights. Not real comfortable... I think a...
Sorry to here you are discouraged. Interest and God given talent have a way of surfacing with or without our conscious effort. If you find yourself Listening to music and picking apart the drum...
Ya I think you are making things harder than they need to be. Buy a used kit and convert it. The rubber pads kinda sux compared to the mesh heads.
I play a td3 for church and had I been around when they purchased it I would have lobbied for the td6 all mesh now td9... Looks like a fun purchase to me!!!
Post pics once you buy.
I play a kd-8 at church and it is soft and doesn't trigger very well with a double pedal. I usually get either two weaker triggers or one louder trigger and then the second beater is off center and...
Welcome and congrats on the new DW kit.
