And if we could include others such as Hill and Billery in that bunch, wouldn't things be a lot less noisy. "Never-to-be-heard-from-again!"

By the time he was 30. He started out with just . . .
"Practicing" medicine. Or someone's Law "Practice?" Wouldn't it be nice if THEY could get it right?! But we still have to ask these "professional" people how long they've been practicing their...
I bought, before I knew better, but which I like and practice a lot with, are ProMark DC12i, 17"ers. They are heavy Hickory, and I saw somewhere that one (maybe especially a newby) should practice...
That causes "real" tension, like skydiving, and you'll learn to relax when things are not really stressful. Life is stressful enough in the everyday, so you almost have to make yourself relax by...
I'm still "tappin" on my practice pads, the homemade ones. Been tryin' to talk myself into getting a "realfeel" real practice pad, but I'm not sure which one to buy. I guess I'm just not quite...
Watched the two "instruction" videos listed above and they are very educational. I'm concentrating on rudiments right now. I'd like to see more of these, and I noted there are more to find at that...
And, drum chick, where did you get your Buddy Rich Memorial DVD? Might like to get one myself? Could you tell us a bit about it after watching?
Thanks,

So Slingerland drums are still made?

If this is a stupid question, so be it, but who does Keith Moon play for?
Don
And a beat I can keep up with. LOL

Right at the moment, "Across the River," by Bruce Hornsby. Great drum sound. Old guy, maybe, but great artist. Got it on ipod.
Happy Easter,

A parttime medic and jrfirefighter. I'm a medic, and would have gone to Paramedic school, but didn't get to. I'm not a fireman, but would have been one, but am not, for the same reason I'm not a...
Looked on GEARTREE site, found Remo practice pads, 6" and 8" for $12.99 and $14.99 respectively. I wonder, do these things "rebound" like a "real" drum, snare, for instance? If they wouldn't be any...
For me, my Co. gives Good Friday off, so I'll clean house, the part of it I do; sweeping/moping, our mostly wood floors, and mow the grass, which I really enjoy, but for the more-than-abundant pollen...
Got my free photo of Mr. Buddy Rich the other day and hung it on the wall in my cubicle here at work. He playing a "signiture" set of Slingerland drums. I remember seeing him play, not in person, but...
Forgot just where on here I read about practice pads; "Realfeel," "Sabian Quiet Tone," "Vic Firth Slim pad" to mention a few. I checked out different sites, found "Realfeel RF-12G 12" speed pad" on...
This wasn't some kinda trauma, I hope. I'll say a prayer for you!!

Ordered, that is; ProMark 7A, 15 3/8", .512" dia., American Hickory. My Dad was a wood-worker, bubba's a wood-worker, and I'm sort of a wood-worker, so I like the feel of the Hickory. The sticks I've...
First of all, I believe that enthusiasm for life comes from within a person. Everybody knows that the world is generally not an encouraging place. God and family are the first two places to look for...
I do appreciate the timely advice. I actually hadn't realized that with the longer, 17" sticks, I was actually using heavier sticks. Duh!! Shame on me. I will probably try another couple of pair,...
Need a quick primer on sticks. I currently use ProMark DC12i indoor 17" hickory and love them. Heard somewhere there's an easy way to tell which to choose. It's been suggested that one should use...
Mine will be <$20 per half hour, so that sounds about right. Lessons from a professional, on a full kit, one-on-one, couldn't be much cheaper. When I studied flute, I had a professional tutor and...
Finally talked myself into dropping by the music place last night on my way home. They teach guitar and other instruments and have one drum kit set up in a small room just large enough for the drum...
What's a good, inexpensive (if there is such a thing) snare for a first "real" drum until I can afford a kit? Looked on ...; they have a "starter" snare "kit" for $100, drum+stand+sticks, (chrome...
