Ok, maybe Im a little obsessed...
But I clean my cymbals (the ones that get used, not the ones in storage) at least once a month.

I use Paiste cymbal cleaner only... and am very gentle. In many...

Ive seen Vinny a few times... great rock/metal player.
The singer of Hellyeah is my friend, Chad. He is also the singer of Mudvayne. Great guy.

I got to see Hellyeah twice in Vegas last year.......

Not to sound as if I am being a jerk... but do you know whats involved in obtaining a patent? Its complicated, expensive.. and I dont think the snarehorse would even qualify for a patent.
Its not an...

Just a bit of an update...

I have now been playing the SnareHorse for a while. I have about ten hours of serious punishment laid down on my creation...

Its super strong and stable. Im extremely...

Yeah, Spears is awesome...
... and if one more person tells me that pros dont really hit hard... Im going to slap someone!!! LOL.

Matt

WHAT? I trust the mods... completely. But thats just hard to believe.

I got banned from drummersworld yesterday... but Im not nearly as nice as Kevin. LOL.

Matt

1DrumBum, man.... its nice to hear that Im not the only white guy being harrassed. I see the cops in my city giving blacks and hispanics a hard time, daily... and it makes me sick, because I know its...

So I got banned from the drummersworld forum over this same thread.
The admin over there loves to boot people who disagree with him.
I told him that I thought he would make fabulous cop (in a...

I agree with you.
I just have to try to control my mouth and my sense of injustice.
I would not want to go to jail for any reason.

Matt

Thank you sir. I too pray that I can be more tolerant of bad situations.

Vinny... telling a cop to ... well, you know, is not a hate crime.
Had I commited ANY crime... I would not be here typing....

I showed absolutely ZERO physical aggression.
I can NOT be arrested for verbal aggression.

Telling cops where to shove it, is not the same as being combative.

Matt

HAHAHA!!!
I already tried last night during a four hour band rehersal session...

It held up like a tank!!

Also...

not trying to toot my own horn, but there is an additional upside to this...

Thanks guys...
Funky, dont give me anymore ideas man!!!! LOL

Matt

I completely agree. That was not my intention.
Davie, I meant no disrespect to you.. I just have this notion that all drummers are artists... and I hate to think that art should be made fun of.
...

Youre kidding....? Right?
They beat people up all the time.

Matt

I think he is suggesting that I get a lawyer to look into the possibility of a harrasment lawsuit.
That has been suggested to me by a lot of people... but all the cops have to do is say "he was...

Thanks for the nice words about me guys... I appreciate it.
I think that is part of the problem. I think of myself as being a decent, kind, and thoughtful person. Because of this, when I am put in a...

I agree with you to an extent. However, I dont really see this topic as being anything more than a ignition switch.
It will make people mad.

As for Weckle, its gotta be his hair. LOL

Matt

Davie... with all due respect. I dont think this is a cool topic at all.
I really think as a community of drummers we can find better things to do than critisize someone elses favorite player.
...

Before I tell this story, I want to mention a couple things...
I have been debating wether or not I wanted to post this, because I will undoubtedly take some critizism for not conforming to some...

Although Peter Criss is one of the reason that I became obseesed with drums around age 7... he has never, IN MY OPINION, been a very good player. As a matter of fact... in most recent years, he looks...

Between my garage, and my band rehersal room... I must have couple hundred pieces of swag. Not to mention the mojority of it is still in storage.

I have collected much of it from friends, but a...

I completely disagree.

His chops, his feel and his timing are all way beyond that of 99% of the "drummers" on the planet.

I agree that there are players... MANY of them, who have vastly more...

Better? Better at what? Rock? Mr. Peart. ... Jazz? Mr. Rich.

Im a rock drummer. I dont like jazz. I dont like listening to or even watching jazz drummers. Its not appealing to me.
I can...
