Hey folks. Got my first knee replacement set for June 2, the day after I retire. lol. Get the second done in August. So maybe, just maybe, I can get back...

The funny thing is when I started playing at this church they told me to play as loud as I wanted (a rarity ... even though I really don't play that loud). We...
Just make sure your surgeon is a good one.. My Father-In-Law had one of his new knee's put in crooked..His second one is perfect (different segeon)...Good...
"Just make sure your surgeon is a good one..." When I have my knees replaced, one of the orthopedic surgeons who works on the Florida State University football...
Good luck with the knee thing Butch. I've heard they can do miracles nowadays. I'm hoping I don't ever have the same problems, but every time I hear someone...
Thanks for helping me spend money I don't have :-) I just ordered the book. Have always loved Bill's drumming. Big influence on my playing. To this day I...
Sometimes it depends on what brand the kit is, what type of wood they're made of, etc... But in general, I play Aquarian Texture Coated W/Power Dot on my ...
Hi, I own Pearl eliminator, DW 9000,and Trick pedals. The Tricks are very fast, but I have problems getting power out of them (not getting much punch). The...
I too would like to hear from ANYONE who plays the Trick. I currently play single-pedal, but want/need to learn how to play double-pedal, so I'm in the market...

Stephanie, You made some excellent points. I played heel-down for about 23 years, and just last year started to raise my leg and play heel-up at times for...
I don't change heads too often, I've always used the Remo Coated Ambassador on the snare. Most recently fitted the kick drum with the Evans EQ3 and the toms...
I pretty much stick to Coated G1's on all snares and toms on Maple shells. I have in the past used G2's / Emperors on toms, and might consider them if I were...
... LOL! I thought I was on the only one who ever called them that! =) Actually the term is "BATTER" head (with "Resonant" head being the other end). It's...
... Work with the spring tension and try a hard beater (if you're not using one already). This is going to take a little time, but increase the tension until...
Thanks, I'll try that. I guess I need to decide where I want the cam angle. I've got the footboards on the lowest of the 3 possible positions. These things...
Thanks for the kind wishes, Butch. I'm having the job done at Guthrie Clinic, Sayre, Pa. It's a teaching hospital and a very fine facility. My Mom had open...
Gundorps, I find this odd. Since I sell drum heads [Aquarian, Evans, and Remo] at 50% off list price (and rounded up to the nearest dollar) I'm always amazed...
Jeff, Thanks for the info on the drum heads. That rings true with my experiences as well. IN the past couple of years I have gone back to Remo. I had gone to...
