That's when you just show us some stick tricks.

hahah should I record a soundless video for you guys?

why not....but make sure you look cool....:chug:

Too late... I just woke up and have been playing drums ever since, Im sweating all over.

exactly...whatever just make the video...im getting goosepimples....

Thats quite cool BB. congradulations.

Does anyone have the MP3 metronome that was posted on here a while back? The copy that was up for download is corrupt and i need it

Oh my god, 6 ghz? That's so fast.

Oh yeah, when you say you can play double bass for 120 bpm, all you do is hit the bass drum 120 times in a minute right? That comes out to twice a second, that is really fricken slow.

This machine does 3.01Ghz apparently

I crack too many cymbals :upset:

No. You measure single strokes in 32nd notes.

120bpm in 4ths would be 4 between every hit right? which in singles would be 480 bpm mean 8 hits a second??

im not to wise at how this works. i just tend to play what i think.

^^^^
..................Yeah.

Yeah man, im the same. I had to get jezen to explain to me why 160BPM sounded so slow.

Ahh, it depends on what type of notes they are.

So if they're quarter notes you multiply it by ... four... ?

[quote=British Boy]No. You measure single strokes in 32nd notes.[/quote]
Dunno, generally when I hear "double bass at 120", they mean 16ths.

[quote=Futuro]I crack too many cymbals :upset:[/quote]
Sucks man, I used to have that problem. Do you hit your cymbals with a fairly glancing blow?

I use the pull-back technique and have never cracked a cymbal

Glancing blow just doesn't feel natural to me.

[QUOTE=TTTSNB]Sucks man, I used to have that problem. Do you hit your cymbals with a fairly glancing blow?[/QUOTE]I think so. I don't go through it....I think...

But this is the second cymbal I cracked :upset: It aint under warentee either like My power crash was.

As long as you don't lay into them or hit through the cymbal you should be fine.

It's the difference between a buzz roll and a multiple bounce roll. We all know what they are, but one is officially correct.

According to PAS, single strokes are measured in 32nds.

man blondies drummer is pretty crazy. I got it for the musical content but i think i might want to drum to a few.

Wait 120 bpm would be a click every half a second? how would you get 16 beats in between each?

Edit: i feel so nooby now

[QUOTE=SkaRabbit]Wait 120 bpm would be a click every half a second? how would you get 16 beats in between each?

16 beats in 4 clicks.

Unless your talking 32nds, than it self explanatory.

Yeah, I guess so, although sometimes I kinda resent the PAS, since they consider themselves the supreme authority on every in drumming, not even recognizing most rudiments.
