Were you on it?

Im doing an independance drum lesson for you guys. And how to solo over ostinotos.


EDIT: OMG I only drummed for 2 hours :(

Well, that was an amusing read.

olol copouts

Cocaberry is a tosser, I knew that before the flamefest.

He went crazy because I got pissed off that someone was arrogant to me about St Georges day.

He called me a postwhore..... A POSTWHORE!!!.
.....*Goes and cries*.

it's funny cuz when he says its a joke he expects everyone to not hate him anymore...but i know most here still will:)

is it safe to get back to our regularly scheduled programming yet? [IMG]http://users.adelphia.net/~d2rook/icons/look.gif[/IMG]




[QUOTE=SkacoreDrummer]You got the Dragons all dialed in yet?[/QUOTE]
i spent all my practice time yesterday dialing them in. today i played for a few hours and they felt really good. no problems with heel/toe, slide, or double strokes so i think im good to go.

Very nice pedals Thugs.

I was looking at the previous pages... Sometimes a good ole fashion *** kicking is the only way to set someone straight the rest of their lives

Nice pedals man, I LOVE THE BEATERS! Thats the kind I need to get on my cobras. Thats the only thing I hate about em those tiny little beaters.

^ Yeah, plus he just wants the attention. I wouldnt give him the satisfaction of banning him.

the Yamaha beaters are even better then the Danmars i was using :thumb:

these pedals are highly underrated, i strongly suggest checking out the Yamaha pedals over the ICs or the 5000/9000s.

obviously it will come down to personal preference and feel, but i am very very impressed :eek:



thx for the comps guys :chug:

my two best friend got girlfriends today
i feel left out

I broke up with mine, I broke up like 2 months ago but we got back together.
I am so sad.

I havent had a girlfriend in two years. Sucks to be me.

Yeah.

Man, why is a Stage Custom so pricey? Its Phillipine Mahogany isnt it?

There's your answer, then.

Phillipine Mahogany is cheap though, its used in Ddrum Diablo Punx which is about £150 cheaper.

The construction is top notch as well as the hardware

To be quiet honest wood type has never made an impact to me at all. I've heard so many drums and there are many MANY other things that contribute to what you hear over what the shell is made out of.

You could have a shell made out of junk press board... Ensure the bearing edges are cut well, put it in an acoustically sound room, tune it perfectly and it's going to sound incredible. Everyone gets so caught up in those things when they really don't matter at all. The only time wood type makes a real difference is if your close micing. You'll hear subtle nuances but otherwise it doesn’t matter.

My export/forum set I bought this year sounds awsome! Got it second hand, I have kids use that one and I play on the conaway when I teach.

Exactly

Cool, thanks Jim. Ive been looking around and everything seems to be about the wood.

I like the look of the Ddrum Diablo Punx in Blue with White Fittings - Tantrum. The only thing is, ive heard its not to great quality wise but its at a great price, £399.

DDrum Punx are hideous

Yeah, I just like the look of the Tantrum one - White on Blue. I just like it I dunno why.

I think it stands out way too much, and having flashy hardware looks [size=2]shi[/size]tty when your set is covered in chrome cymbal stands.

Yeah thats true. I also like the Black on Black Export.

Why not buy a set 1 drum at a time, and replace parts of your current set?

Like, if you were getting a saturn, start with a floor tom, then a bass, etc.

Well I need to sell my kit to get part of the fund towards my kit.

I seriously have no idea what to get. I only wanna spend about £550 on a kit and then £200 on cymbals.

Save. An export or punx should not be an upgrade from your current kit. Don't buy based on looks, either.

Quality cymbals first and foremost

All drums can sound fantastic, the same cannot be said for cymbals.

Yeah any drums can sound decent with the right heads.

The right heads tuned correctly. =)

Do you reckon I should buy cymbals with that money then?

My current kit is a Session Pro, not by Pearl.

Cymbals

Cool, what about adding onto my kit i.e. toms and stuff?

Oh and what cymbals? I was thinking maybe Sabian AAs. I dont wanna spend the whole lot on cymbals, maybe a double bass pedal or hardware.

I would make cymbals #1 priority

And then if you need fresh heads for your current kit get those, fresh heads make all the difference

Yeah, I could do with some Coated Ambs instead of Pins.

The only thing is, im gonna be playing a few gigs this year, do you think my kit will be good enough?

Sure why not

Tune the drums up well, no ones going to know the difference if your playing a CB700 or a dw collectors series live. Tune em up so they project and play.

Cool thanks Jim, youve helped a lot. What do you think of getting a box set of AAs and adding effect cymbals accordingly?

I suggest buying cymbals one at a time testing them by ear
