  1. Re: Trying to fix a broken Pearl cymbal stand..help ?

    Dang. That's a lot of work for a replacement bushing - I had a Pearl 900 series snare stand bushing fail a few years ago and when I emailed Pearl *directly* about it they were EXTREMELY fast to ship...

    Re: power cut at gig

    Our guitarist's amp died in the middle of our cover of Helter Skelter at one of our biggest gigs. Not only did it kill the momentum of the set, but it couldn't have happened on a worse song. =[

    Poll: Re: Hanging FT vs FT W/Legs?

    Legs. MUCH easier to fix my set up in between songs during a set if I set up in a hurry and don't get things placed in the right spot in time. I can just pick up the drum and move it instead of...

    Re: Landed a gig,need advice.

    hah. Math rock is like instrumental melody-driven progressive rock with a strong odd-meter emphasis. I think. I'm not sure if that's a good descriptor.

    I second this. Part of the reason I bought my Classic Maples new was for the unboxing experience.

    This. Good luck, OP. Have fun. :)

    EDIT: On a serious note, I find the best and fastest way to get better is to force yourself outside of your comfort zone. For example, my roommate is playing a...

    Re: Black Beauty Head Selection

    My BB is 14x6.5 hammered and I use a coated Emp over (I think) a Hazy and it sounds great tuned low, medium, and high.

    Re: What's the strangest gig you've ever played?

    Last summer we played a day time set at a LGBT festival. It wasn't weird in a negative sense at all, but it was weird in that I'd never seen so many trans and crossdressers in one place. It was fun,...

    Re: SPD vs octopad

    I had the SPD-30/Octapad for a while and it was cool; you could edit all the samples on the fly as well as build drum loops in real time....but that was the extent of it. I ended up returning it for...

    Re: Bass Reso Head Question

    Last time I checked they only do Aquarian. It's a really nice head. Thicker than the stock Weathermaster I had, but it sounds great.

    Sounds like a good approach. But instead of just doing them for set amount of time, I would do them until you no longer struggle at that tempo.
