i know, wtf. I woke up and I still had the last post and i was like wow thats cool

billdrum 05-19-2008 11:48 AM

Fish, personally, I liked the toms. Nice and open, melodic and resonant.

Berk, how often does your dog have seizures? They're actually quite normal, especially in smaller dogs. However, if it's quite often, they have medication that will help.

ace76543 05-19-2008 11:59 AM

if you hit them harder they would sound cooler imo


i like hitting drums hard








oh yeah

I just hit the motherload, a torrent with 43 drumming books in pdf format with accompanying CDs. When it's done downloading I'll put a list in the media section so people can request what they want.

This is not a good idea for several reasons.

Most of all, educators make little money off book sales as it is. Downloading major label records is one thing. Cheap books that you'd [I]have[/I] to print out to use anyway is another.
Printing out an entire book would cost prob more then buying it.

Secondly, as mentioned, there is no realistic way you are going to really use a book on the computer for practicing without it being in hardcopy - that is unless you somehow mount your moniter so you can read if from your kit like a music stand.

Thirdly - and the real kicker - having all those "books" won't make a difference.

You should have the genuine drive of progressing as a player, which requires hard copy materials - not digital PDF forms.

Because all said and done - you Harrow might have all those books in digital format.

But truly there is no question that you have never worked through even a single one in it's intended manor in any kind of digital format.


These great educators are not wealthy, and do not make absurd profits like record companies do off albums.
If you want to learn, buy the book so you can actually use it, take notes in it, have it in front of you at the kit. And actually working through it.

Don't pirate educational material for drums. It's cheap enough as is, and far more useful in hard copy.

Actually I have a 22" Widescreen LCD monitor in front of my kit so all I have to do is zoom in on the score and I can read it across the room. I have worked through several books in digital format, although I agree they are far more useful and accessible in book-form. The main reason I look for material like this is so I can check it out before I go and purchase it. While I may find Johnny Rabb's book interesting, it doesn't have very much use for me so I wouldn't waste my money on it. I do agree that it isn't very fair to the publishers of this material that I steal it, but I am far poorer than they are unfortunately :(

fishllama....sounds good. The splash is as loud as the other cymbals.......

JoctorDosiah 05-19-2008 12:58 PM

Im sure that is great for your eyes! No really - that can't be good for ya.

I will grant the "preview" ability of material argument. For those who can not go check out a book at a GC, SamAsh or etc

On your second notion though - I'd assume you are younger. Get a job to support your chosen lifestyle. That's what all those people did.
And truly books don't cost much. The most popular (and useful books) are all under $20. My copy of Stick Control was $12, New Breed was $14, Advanced Tech For Mod Drummer was like $12, etc.. the books are cheap. Even comparing to novels.

Compared to my university book prices... ok lets not go there really... $100+ for a friggin book I only use for 4 months...

How are you Mr. Pink? Does the fight against the evil go well I hope?

This is BERKS theme song.

The Elders whisper of a secret, a secret of a machine long forgotten in the darkest depths of time. No one knows how it came to be, or who first crafted it - all we know is, it's called a fu‪cking printer.

A well though out response. It indicates research and knowledge of the subject at hand. He take the points I have made and, one by one, counterpoints with valid counter point of view.
His closing POV is also very strong and shows a grasp of non linear thought as it applies to the matter at hand.
Well said BERK. :thumb:

How unfortunate.

Sponer 05-19-2008 01:38 PM

I don't download any drum-related stuff (I downloaded two books I think WAR uploaded, but haven't looked through them yet). I dunno, I just like to have "hard copies" of drum-related stuff.

I'd like to say the same about music, but there's simply too much music I like and not nearly enough money. And it's just too easy to download music for free. But hopefully this summer, I'd like to start buying a lot of CDs.

18" Sabian AAX Studio Crash
18" Sabian AAXplosion crash (cracked)[/QUOTE]

Fast crash...not very loud and fast decay
Studio crash....not known for volume.
And one cracked.
I feel that 18" is about as big as you can go and still have a clean attack. Even my 20" 2002 med crash is a little washy. I have 2 2002 18" med crashes and hit them both when I need max volume. Can't get much louder than that IMO.

We usually get one or two a year. I'm keeping this one and hanging it on my door, I think.

Do you hi-pass the bass drum? Sounds like it could use a little.[/quote]

No i did not, i will try that out for sure.
