... BEN, You could try a heavier drum head setup, but most of what you're hearing is the sound of the shell. In that case, you could try applying one layer of...
Thanks for the input on the headset mic setups some of you are using. Because I'm a pretty physical player, the stand mic doesn't work for me. I've done that...
Plastic auto body filler works very well in repairing unwanted holes, much better than wood-filler. If the existing wrap isn't cracked, it can be painted, ...
... Sounds like good technique to me... I would add to make sure your foot is in a straight line with your pedal, if this means moving your bass drum to make...
Over the years I've been pretty much a 5A or 7A type of guy. I'll get hooked on one brand for a number of years then have a change of hart and switch to...
Not crazy, just adventurous! I'm a creature of habit, I play the same 4-5 kinds of sticks all the time depending on volume needed: Regal Tip 5A for really loud...
I think that's an interesting approach. I might just try that same strategy. Right now I have about 2 dozen wooden tipped 5A Zildjan power-pro - wooden...
... your hand ... It don't make that much of a difference to me. I know that sounds strange but if you can't play a tune, or play a tune as well because of ...
... Yeah Matt, you should give it a shot...It's a lotta fun! ... Ive got pair of brushes and a pair of hot rods also a pair of Vic Firth sticks with beaters on...
I love Promark Neil Peart signature sticks - they're 747s made of Japanese Oak and they're great - very nice size for me. They rarely break on me although the...
... A result of those hard hit rim-shots no doubt. I've the same problem. There're times when it looked like a hord of hungry beavers had attacked my stick...

Gee Ozzie ... you better be careful about saying you don't care what kind of stick you use! You might get kicked out of the drummer's club!! If we don't care...
... Dude: You are soooo right. It is sacrilegious not to Pledge Allegiance to the brand of which we choose. I guess I'm just poor sinner doomed to wander...
... They got some cool sound bites of the cymbal on the Sabian web site. Also e-bay's got one for sale, current bid is $149 and the "buy it now" price is...
Speaking of Sticks, I just check out the Database entitled "2B or Not 2B" And I gotta wonder about the entry for the Late Cosmic Coyote...The dude actually...
I used to do that. Ended up with grocery bags full of mismatched sticks. Most were 5B's. I've been hooked on Zildjian Hal Blaine signature models since about ...
... No experience, but the Paragon's are based on Neil Peart's cymbal setup from the 70's (he collaborated with Sabian, to produce them). He played all...
I've heard the same thing - the whole Paragon line is supposed to be based on some great sounding A Zildjians. They're very expensive. Your local GC had a...
Hiy'all: It may sound "adventurous" to pick up a variety o' sticks, but from what I've learned.... bad idea!!! When you're accustom to a balance o' a stick, &...

I am going to act like a total teenager at the end of the month, a band I play with(a backing band for a very successful Irish artist) will be opening for...
I don't own it, but I've spent a lot of time checking out the whole line when they 1st came out. The ride is heavy. It has a great ping, it's pretty loud, and...
i've been playing for ~15 years or so... about a year and a half ago, i decided to try playing with an open stance -- riding with my left hand on the hi-hat...
"...decided to try playing with an open stance..." Goes to show you that sticking with something often pays off in very positive results. Playing drums is an...
Use what feels comfortable to you... you really can't go wrong with any of your name sticks... Vic Firth, Pro Mark etc.... Size and type is such a personal...
