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. 🙂

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

Oh look Victor, the old scoundrel.

-AC

Yeah i like to play.

im a cheap ***** i have one of the gay Peavy kits you get fgor like £200 with one crash.

but as soon as i leave school and start earning properly im gonna get a PROPER kit! thumbs_up

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.

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

-AC
