Thanks everyone. I am definitely on board with a 2nd crash but I want to find a place where I can here the differences between brands, construction, and size. I'll see what's left in the budget...

Thanks everyone. I am definitely on board with a 2nd crash but I want to find a place where I can here the differences between brands, construction, and size. I'll see what's left in the budget...
I've been playing with my XS20 high-hats, crash, and ride. Thinking about adding another to the set but not sure which one. Looking for advice from more experienced players - which one would be...
Hi all,
I just moved my drums into a spare bedroom and the sound is deafening! Does anyone have any inexpensive tricks to reduce the noise?
Thanks.
I was hoping someone would respond to this one...I would also like some new beats to work on!
If you're talking about a RR-LL roll down the toms from high to low, just immediately move your R down the line when your L is finishing on the first tom. Start with a slow roll then gradually move...
I don't see any ballads in that list - you gotta have at least one.
How about The Flame - Cheap Trick
Maybe something more current like Interpol or Killers
Maybe some U2

Wow. I think the question was just simple way to measure sticking skills. I am a newbie myself and use the single stroke roll to get more comfortable with the sticks and trying to play without...
Thanks all. I DID make my purchase from Forks and it went very smoothly. Proud owner of a new set of Mapex Meridian Maple is transparent black!
I use the Korg metronome and have not used headphones yet as it is plenty loud. I would use my iPod earbuds if I needed to. The problem with the Korg metronome is it max's out at 200bpm and I wish...
Great question and good exercises I will try also. Thanks.
I enjoyed that. Gives a newbie like me something to shoot for. Great job!
I am thinking of making an online purchase from Forks. Anyone ever deal with them before?
I've narrowed down my selections for shells to either The new Mapex Horizon Ltd Edition or the Pearl VBX - both birch hybrids with hardware included. Both are going to need a set of cymbals.
I am...
Thanks!!! Much appreciated....I will work on it.
Thanks everyone - what I'm reading leads me to believe drummers are a group of perfectionists...rarely if ever satisfied with their level of skill. I'll bet that if I heard 3/4's of you that...
I know its a relatively simple song but I'm a newbie looking for something to learn with and some good sticking around the kit. I'd like to play along with this song but can't find the drum music...
From the time you first picked up your sticks, at what point did you actually feel like you were a good drummer?
There are hundreds on the market - can you give me your suggestion for which are best for (1) drums, and (2) reliability, and (3) cost.
Thanks!!
Thanks everyone! I now see I need to practice and be patient. Now, back to practice!
I'm just starting but the huge difference between my right and left hand is really frustrating me (I'm right handed). How long did it take you to get some consistent equality between each hand and...
