Possible joining of band.

So I finally founda good band looking for a drummer. Anyone have any last minute advice before I go to practice with them. Behavior is not a big deal but any drumming tips to help me do well. This is a metal band by the way.Thanks

What kind of metal? thrash metal and power metal may have every difference imaginable when it comes to drumming, and if it's doom metal I probably shouldn't give you advice for technical death metal.

Good luck with the band. Be sure not to over-play and use excessive double bass

Nice advice STICKS....

Since your band is Metal genre, Double pedal will help you much....

And Do not play your drums when other members was talking about something (e.g: when the guitarist need to told the bassist how to play the chords)....
Its annoyed them....
I have scolded by my guitarist because of this....

Good advice Totti, nothing drives band member more crazy than drummers who play between songs when the are trying to discuss chord structure or are trying to tune.

Welcome to DrumChat, TylerDrums--and glad to hear you're in the band!

Good luck, bro'!

Thanks guys. It would be great if anyone had some cool beats for that kind of music..tabs or sheet music would be awesome thanks. Oh one more thing, I will be getting a china cymbal soon and need to know a really good one that is not really expensive right now i have a ziljian zht 20" rock ride and 14" zilijan avedevis crash and some weird splash and sabian hi hats.. so any recommendation on chinas would be good i think 18" inch would be a good siz is that pretty close?

**pastor_bob** · 03-12-2008, 10:45 PM

TD, I have an 18" Wuhan China, and I gives me a nice trashy "gong" sound. When it comes to chinas, I'm definately a Wuhan fan.

**funkymcstain** · 03-13-2008, 09:07 AM

welcome man, good to hear ya got the gig. an 18" china would be a good addition. thats a good universal size. if this is your first band, i suggest you start out with good habbits that will stay with you through your musical journey or career. band etiquite is very important and will help you keep gigs.

**TylerDrums** · 03-13-2008, 10:00 AM

Any body know if a zilijan zxt china is good for a nice metal breakdowns. (ithink thats what the chymbal is called...?)

**Stevo42w** · 03-20-2008, 08:40 AM

yeah everyone uses 18 inches..... i havent actually seen/heard any other sizes.

**TylerDrums** · 03-21-2008, 12:53 PM

What are some good chinas in a 18" size. I will use them strictly for breakdowns. Cheers
