Here is the new home for all drummers to discuss drum-related things.

What kind of drumset do you have? I have a Yamaha Stage Custom un-lacquered natural blonde set (fusion-style). All Yamaha hardware, Zildjian cymbals, and Iron Cobra double-pedals. It's my pride and joy.

I guess there aren't many drummers...

drummers are sexy!

nice arms and backs droolio

I had to sell my kit. Bastards.

oh yeah baby lets make out

im a Fe-drummer

Not sure how you call it, but I think it's just a basic Pearl kit.
Nothing fancy, sounds decent. 1 crash 14", 1 ride 20", 2 tom toms, nothing big brand. it was like 300 euro or something.

How long have you been drumming Mane?

Since 2nd grade, so about 8 years.

Hey Mane, can I get your autograph so when you become a famous metal drummer I can sell it on eBay for thousands of dollars?

pffft hes got better things to do with his life then drum


me on the other hand


i have one thing better to do

I used to do drum lessons then graduated to guitar.

Cool, Ive been drumming for a little less then 3,5 years now.

Have you had lessons?

Yeah I used to. I mostly teach myself.

Not to toot my own horn, but I'm good.

Yeah, I never had lessons apart from some advice on what hand to use for high-hat and what for snare

Do you have any recordings you could share?

EDIT: Im such a poet

HAHA. No, not yet. My parents are getting the kinks in the recording equipment in the office worked out.

K, cool

I have Sonor kit.

18 x 22" bass and a 16 x 22" bass.

8", 10", 14" and 16" toms.

20" Power crash, 22" Thin china, 22" Dry crisp, 12" Flanger splash, 18" Power crash, 18" Full crash, 2x 8" sig splash, 24" China, DW5000 hi-hat.

5 Simmons digipads, a Roland Handsonic pad.

I tried to model it on Danny Carey's kit as much as possible, well his smaller one. Not that I'm anywhere near that good. Just gives me more creation width.

-AC

Wow, that sounds damn inpressive, though I dont know what some of the stuff is...

This is gonna sound stupid, but what do you mean with 18 x 22" bass? And whats a DW5000 hi-hat?

Do you have any recordings of any of your drumming?

I rarely play it. I used to be a drummer bit whenever I play with a band I play guitar/keyboard. It's there when I need it though, or if I jam with friends and they obviously can't bring a kit.

The dimensions are width and depth.

-AC

Wow that's an awesome set, dude!

Thankings.

-AC

Dude, how do you play double bass? I can't do it!

"Dude, how do you play double bass? I can't do it!"

Takes years of coordination practice.

Unless of course you are Terry Bozzio. Who has the best multiple pattern coordination of any drummer ever.

-AC

It has taken me years to get my hand/foot coordination under control as AC said. That's how I can play double bass.

Ah, ok... now that I look at it, its kinda logical.

How do you guys tune your kit, btw?

Like the tom toms, do you pick certain tones? Do you tune the top and bottom skin the same height? And what skins do you use?

Ive got one Pearl skin, which was already on when I bought the kit, and de rest are Remo Weatherking.

I suck at tuning, I usually end up just randomly turning till the sound's decent, but it never really sounds like I want.

Most of the time I want my high tom to be a nice tone, not too low, not too high, but since it's a jazz set up (one high tom, two low toms) I like to tune the other two relatively low. I usually tune the bottom head a little bit higher than the top.

I have't really got a preferred head, but I really like most heads by Evans and Aquarian.

**EDIT: Oh and try to turn the tension rods to a relative pitch with the rest.

Yeah, I try to turn the tension to a relative pitch, but usually just with the top one. Ill try it with the bottom ones.

Thx

Would just like to point out the lies of this post.

Oh look Victor, the old scoundrel.

-AC

It's not what you have, it's how you use it.

At least that's what Alpha keeps telling himself.

Hahaha.

Again we see Victor proving to be quite to comedic genius.

-AC

Don't smile, you'll just encourage him more.

-AC

sorry i was trying to bring some positive atmosphere to the thread.

VVD> how the hel do you know he is lying?

I've got a sh!tty little premier 5 piece, with sabian Hihat and crash

MacCormacks?

they dont really have a very wide range when it comes to drumkits they have some kickass guitars though.

Who is everyone's favourite Drummer?

-AC

favourite.... The Walkmen's drummer

Danny Carey, Terry Bozzio, Neil Peart.

Dave Lombardo

John Bonham easily.
