You wouldn't happen to be thinking of the kit featured with Russ in the article MD did on him back in '84, are you? I forget what kind of drums those were...
As I mentioned in that post, Its my understanding that the patent for the Floating Action, which Gretsch bought from Martin just after the 1929 Stock Market...
Hi everybody, I'm interested in purchasing my first drum rack. I'm tired of the clutter of stands and having to get a new stand whenever I add something to...
Well, he claims to have played on some early Beatle tunes, which is disputed by the "official record." AFAIK, he's the only person to have said that he was on...
Actually, Bernard wasn't the one that said it. A long time ago there was an article that came that suggested that Bernard was paid $10K not to say that he...
Which pedal? The Camco by Tama chain drive pedal? I bought mine in 1980 right when they first shipped, but here is a reprint of the catalog of it along with...
I think you might want to curtail the usage of mind altering chemicals. It was a WHITE KIT..... Some people refer it to the Running on Empty kit. ... ...
Correction. The Gretsch Giant Beat is basically the same thing as the Tama Hi-Beat pedal. The Tama Flexi-Flyer, not on the photo was the strap version of the...
... That sounds similar to a technique that Bob Clearmountain (legendary engineer/producer known for great drum sounds) often used, from what I've heard. The...
I think you can put the C12 a slight distance away from the kick drum. I've used the C12's for both overhead and ambiant room mikes. Best mikes I have ever...
The Pearl Icon rack with all three arms is under $300. It's a very strong and easy to use rack, and since the arms are square and not round like Gibralter and...
Pat (and/or DB), A question about extending the bass drum. What exactly is accomplished by physically extending the bass drum with foam pads or a large...
Yes, I'm referring to the Camco by Tama Chain Drive bass drum pedal. I believe I stated this in an earlier posting, but I've had pics of my pedal posted at...
Oh... It would be nice to know what specific patent Gretsch had. I don't think Gretsch sold anything to DW. I only heard about Camco and Ippolito licensing ...
Sometimes, they'll put on in front of the head and one at the end of the tube and blend them together. A 20Hz freq. takes about 56 feet to fully complete. ...
... As DB said in his post, it has to do with the long physical wavelengths of low frequency sounds. Which, if I may rant for a moment, is part of what is so...
Have you checked out Earthworks microphones? They are supposed to be high definition great for minimal miking for acoustic instruments and they have ...
At Real 2 REel Studios, where I am an affilliate and house drummer, the house kit's bass drum is 2 24" x 16' bass drums actually bolted together by the outside...
OK here's the deal. Mike Portnoy's signature snare drum from Tama has a 3 position throw off. So you'd have tight snares, loose snares, and no snares. I...
Some throw-offs (maybe most of them?) allow you to turn the snares partially or mostly on, not quite all the way. My Tama Starclassic snares are like that and...
Well mates, what started a few weeks ago about my gripes about finding a vintage kit to restore turned into a massive discussion about vintage drums,...
