Zilla... there are some things you can do to make loading drums easier for your back. Using a dolly to transport can help a lot. Using cases with wheels....
In regards to Hip Gig's, maybe 'Zilla would be interested in checking out the Hip Gig JR. (aka, the Manu Katche kit). It's actually a small 4-piece sized for...
Shucks, that might be the answer for *me* !!! :D Yamaha is going to be seeing quite a bit of my gross in the next couple of months; I'm looking into buying a...
Many have been the nights when loading up after a long gig I had to wonder, why did I ever take up the drums? I would swear to myself, in my next life I'm...
"Many have been the nights when loading up after a long gig I had to wonder, why did I ever take up the drums?" I used to joke with a violinist about that...
Yes Ben that is what kills the back just as much as playing for 3-4 hours. The stooping, twisting, reaching and lifting etc. Zilla there is a rehab I think it...
Say, Drumzilla, I know it's not at all the same thing but have you considered getting an electronic kit? Roland mesh head drums feel pretty good (although...
You are absolutely right about the Roland drums Jesse. You may remember that I was inquiring on the group about them a few months back. Well, purchased a...
"...have you considered getting an electronic kit?..." I have had a Roland V-Pro kit for several years now, that mirrors my acoustic set-up, and I also have...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25970533/ Pete Best wins this contest hands down, but I'll be eternally grateful Ringo was hired. Sorry, Pete. Without Ringo the...
Short list, because outside of Pete Best, they only mentioned more recent bands. How could they forget: Ansley Dunbar, fired from Journey because they felt he...
Wow!!! That breaks my heart about Pearl Jam and the Modern Drummer cover! You know...I think in many ways that's more cool than being on the cover of Rolling...
Let's not forget these infamous fired drummers Peter "James" Bond, an early Spinal Tap drummer, was the first rock musician to ever spontaneously combust. He...
... I'll pipe up on this one. First, it's Stan Lynch. I had been curious about his leaving the Heartbreakers since he co-produced the first real album I played...
I know this is going to be a stupid question, but the thing I love about this group is that there are no stupid questions so I feel liberty. Who leads? Does...
"...Who leads? Does the drummer lead the musicians or visa versa?" First off, Drummers ARE musicians. All else being equal after that, it really depends on...
"Pat" <drummertom@...> ... Lynch was recently interviewed in Modern Drummer magazine, and he claimes he never talked to Bogdanovich about what really...
Ian, Hilarious, but true post. Right on, man! On the subject of Stan Lynch. NEVER count him out. Years ago I read an MD interview on him and according to Stan,...
... From: "gundorps" <gundorps@...> ... When I was very young, I bought "Face Dances" by the Who with Kenny Jones. At that point, I hadn't heard of Keith...
I believe, we just let them think they lead. If you're smart. It's just unfortuante that most people who are not musician's identify the band w/the lead...
I never thought about this question until I turned up at an audition for the Godfathers, an English punkish band. They started to play and the whole band was...
That has got to make you feel lower than snake poop in a deep ditch. Tell us about your experience. What was the ostensible reason for your demise? In the...
"First off, Drummers ARE musicians."  I'd say that depends on the drummer and his or her attitude. I don't really think of myself as a musician when I...
... Thanks, Ian--I hadn't heard that, only saw the Bogdanovich film. Who knows what the real story is? As you mentioned, sometimes even the same person tells...
I've been fired a few times, once was with this funk band I loved. It happened because I was stuck in traffic because of a terrible accident and got to he gig...
I was attempting to play drums in a friend's band, but found out that I had a very hard time playing the style of music that he played. Long story short, we...
A buddy of mine [it's often a buddy, isn't it!] was putting together a trio to play rockabilly. Guitar/standup bass/drums. I had just played surf music for...
GREGORY- I've read your post 2x and I still don't understand it. You say "First off, Drummers ARE musicians" then you go on to say that " I don't really think...
