Hi all,
    I thought I'd give a heads-up for a DCI broadcast in theaters on
5/13. Here is the link with the information. http://www.dci.org/countdown/

Does anyone know if the Frank May fast Hands Pads are still in
production? Right now I have two in my drum school but I can't find
them anywhere online. Right now it seems the moongel workout pads are
the ultimate and 2nd is the epads.

Hello, I am a new member to the group.I am a drummer with a right leg
amputation. I would like to hear from other drummers who might have disabilities
they had to over come behind the drum kit.                     thanks Rick.

It would be nice to see these great explanations in written notation. A lot of
double bass applications speak of playing the left kick on the upbeat.

Dear Friends,

I am delighted to write to you all that I have read some parts of the
dumbek book, written by my drum brother, Kenne Thomas, a professional
drummer and instructor. The book is under print and hopefully it will
be released very soon.

I just want to introduce his website at the moment:

http://www.kennethomas.com/

The book is really useful and I hope you will have the chance to study
it, when it is published. Please try to get in touch with Kenne and
reserve a copy.

All the best,

Peyman

Hi everyone,

I think this is a silly question but if you bite on this you might
enlighten a drummer who plays basketball. I'd like to ask this that
keeps bothering my mind. You know, I'm a basketball fan and love to play
basketball. What do you think is the effect of hands and fingers as well
as you r feet if you always play basketball? Would it result to
tightness of  muscles instead of looseness? Does your playing drum get
crooked and eventually developing wrong muscles if you continue to play
basketball?

Your comment is highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards.
Ramon

Hi Drumheads,

I'd like to ask about bass drum tuning, although I believe it is a
matter of personal preference. I'd like to get information from you guys
if your bass drum is tight or loose, what are the pros and cons? How
about its efficiency, speed and techniques, would the tightness or
looseness affect playing?

Thanks in advance fro those who bite this inquiry.

Regards.

Ramon,
    I have a Remo Powersonic bass drum head tuned pretty tight and a Remo
Ebony Ambassador resonant head with a 4" port tuned medium-tight.
They're not matched but there's a fair amount of resonance without nasty
overtones. My brass band kit has Ebony Ambassador heads on both sides.
They are tuned sort-of medium and muffled. I can barely feel a
difference between the two kits.

I think, for the most part, it's a matter of head type and sound
preference.

I use the aquarian super kick II and have it tuned pretty loose.  I basically
just try to get the wrinkles out and where it will just hold a tune.  I found
that's the best sound for me for hard rock especially in the studio.  I think a
tighter head would help more with rebound but it's not worth the trade off for
me.

Does anyone have any recommendations on good drum notation software?  I have
downloaded Finale Notepad and I know a while ago someone in the group posted a
template file for that program to write drum tab, but I wasn't able to get it to
do what I needed it to do.

I looked into other version of Finale but don't see that they'll give me what I
need either.  I'm looking to be able to write out drum parts as seen in all the
drum magazines.  Basically I need software that will display cymbals as 'x',
display cymbals and snare and toms with note stems going up, and bass drum note
stems going down, and really just look professional. :)

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jason

I use Finale, and although it's sometimes difficult, I'm mostly able to
get it to do what I want.

For notating drums: try a demo version of Encore. I find it much more
intuitive and easier to work with than Finale.If you notate the drum
patterns as seperate voices, i.e. cymbal vs bass/snare,  you have a lot
of possibilities for stems, noteheads, beams, etc.

I use Finale. It's very flexible, but there are a couple things you need
to keep in mind. In order to get the proper note type on the snare line
I need to either put the note there (it will show up as an "x" head) and
then change the note head to the oval, or put the note on the line below
(which uses the oval) and move it up a line. It's a pain at first, but
once you get used to it it's OK.  also, you'll have to change the cymbal
note heads, because everything above the top line uses a "x", but this
is easy to do.

If you can find something specifically for drums, then I'd use that.
Finale is expensive and is used for scoring major music projects. It's
overkill for drums (my copy came from my son, who bought an upgrade...
he's a composer and he gave me his Finale 2007. I wouldn't have bought
it myself just for drums).

Hi Drumheads,

I had a session yesterday and I met a sound engineer who is also a
drummer. I am impressed the way he played using sixteenth note triplet
solos with some displacement of notes fill-in. He forced to fill notes
in a bar and sometimes he went out of the bar. He once used telephone
book as his drum pad and after a couple of months of practice it busted
out like a bullet hits the wall and left a hole in it (lol) :-). I
wander guys how he made a hole in it? Is there anyone here practices
just like him? I hope I can get feed back from those ace drumheads.

Regards.

Hi all,
     Does anybody have any experience with using a Remo Diplomat Hazy
head as a resonant head on any drum besides a snare drum? I'd like to
try them on my toms,  but want some feedback before I spend the money. I
have Remo Pinstripe heads on the batter side, and currently have Remo
Ebony Ambassador resonant heads.
     -George

I have no experience with those specific heads, but if you haven't already,
check out the Drum Tuning Bible.  You can find it on Google.  It has great
info about what effect you'll get from what heads.

Dear all, Hi Tomas,

so happy to find that rudiments group is breathing again :-)

I need yo-all opinions about; how should latin rhythms transcribed.

I believe it should be a 2 bars phrase (instead just a bar)...IS BECAUSE..it
comprises two part of feel, a tension and releasing, a question and answer
(or what ever you can name it). I think all latins / brazillians / afro
cuban rhythms is a two part, then it suppose to be written as two bars,
because it makes a clearer intrepetation.

Some transcriptions which wrote those rhythms in one measure (bar) is not
false, though it's just an old manner, where these traditional rhythms just
started to get into modern/western notation.

peace from Bali. Hopefully my english is understandable, feel free to
question me more or correcting me :-)

Edo

I really hope this gets to you in
time, I was involved in a robbery during my
trip to Madrid,Spain. I was mugged,all my belongings including mobile
phone and credit card were all stolen.I asked my bank to cancel my cards
  and
place hold on my account to avoid unauthorized access. I need your help
flying
back home.
 
Am cash strapped at the moment. I've made contact with my bank but the
best
they could do was to send me a new card in the mail which will take 3-5
working
days to arrive here. I need you to lend me some money to sort my self
out of this
predicament, i will pay back once i make it out of Spain.
 
Western union  is the fastest option to wire funds to me. Let me know if
  you need
 my details(full names on ID/location) to effect a transfer. You can
reach me via
email or hotel's desk phone and  the number is,+34 96 331 10 606.

So Tomas, has their been activity lately? just curious.

Hello Tomas, has there been any activity lately? It's been a while since I've
posted on rudiments group. I really miss all the advice from all the cool cats
in here. I've been upgrading my life. Feels good to be back and post something
lol. Have a good one.

I'm currently a music major at a community college, but when I get transfered to
University of North Texas ( if the Lord wills I will transfer ) I will be
working towards a Bachelor with a major in music education and certification.

My passion has always been teaching, to share the gift that God has held me
responsible to multiply, to see students leave with a smile of eagerness to
practice their lessons, their assignments. My only problem is this, to think and
act like a music teacher.

This is what my professor suggested and how true that is. So how do I start, how
do I get myself to do this, how do I get into the "rhythm of thinking and acting
like one?

                                                        Thank you
