    Default Long Time User, First Post

    I've been visiting the forums for about two years but this is my first post.

    I'm a full-time drummer in London and you can see me drum here;

    I'd be happy to answer any questions about gear etc if you have them.

    I'm digging the Go-Pro helmet cam. Cool angle. The K's sound good as well as your playing. Glad you finally posted. What took you so long? We could use more like yourself here! Welcome to DC!!

    Thanks, I've had those hats for 12 years so they are pretty well used. And I'll definitely be posting more now.

    I'm not a fan of the go-pro camera, it makes be dizzy, but man that snare, bass and hats sound great together. Nice playing!

    Both are Tama and maple - kick is a 22x18 Starclassic and the snare is an Artwood Soprano 13x6.

    When I use a full kit I tend to use a matching 10x12 rack tom and then a Yamaha Beech Custom 16x16 as I only have a 10, 12 and 14 that match that kick drum.

    I love the lonely drummer vid.
    Very clever.
    I'd really like to see that concept expanded.

    I like you the best.

    I'm hoping to do another one of these videos during the summer but they require a lot more planning!
