Help me

feeds@yuku.com (bruceg) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:42:15 GMT

First of all, I wanna say hey to everyone! It's been a while since I've been around. I guess it's sad that some of us only come around when we need help haha. Anyway, my band is going into the studio soon to record. I need some tips on clicktrack recording...I always throught my timing was good...but the first time I ever tried to play one of our songs to a clicktrack...well...let's just say epic fail.

It throws me off so bad...any help/tips?

Look ma,no hands!

Favorite Sticks?

feeds@yuku.com (cooldrum3) — Mon, 04 May 2009 21:12:12 GMT

I just wondered what everyone else's favorite stick is here. Personally, I use a ProMark nylon tip 7A or nylon tip Jazz model in Japanese oak. I also sometimes use Mike Portnoy Signature 420 (nylon/hickory) for heavier stuff. I really like the oak though. They seem to hold up so much better than hickory, at least 3 times as long in my experience. I always seem to break the tip off and get that split right down the middle of the stick. What's everyone else's experience?

I just cannot get my bass to sound "right"...

feeds@yuku.com (cooldrum3) — Fri, 01 May 2009 13:38:41 GMT

I have an Evans EMAD on my 22 x 18 bass, and I think it sounds too boomy. I have the larger muffle ring in it and am using the stock, unported Pearl front head. I found that it has a ton of volume, too much for rehearsal, but ok for live (where I'm miking it anyways). I also have to crank it to get any rebound off of it, but then it sounds flat, (but still boomy). Any suggestions? I really want a tight punch with nice bottom end...something I have yet to experience at the same time.

Cymbal Help

feeds@yuku.com (domerheadnd) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:22:31 GMT

Today I noticed I have about a quarter inch long crack coming from the edge of my ride (a 20" Sabian AAX Stage Ride). From what I've read my two options are to either drill a small hole at the end of the crack and hope it stops, or get it lathed down to maybe like 18" to remove the crack all together. I'm not really sure what to do so I'm pretty much just looking for advice.

Some general musings on the industry...

feeds@yuku.com (sedonadrums) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 08:04:40 GMT

I alluded to this in another thread but didn't expound on it because it rightfully belongs in this forum.
I have recently had a brief dip into the pool of truly custom drum making, both with Sedona Drum and Hillbilly Drum. While interesting and challenging, it was enough to make me aware of a few things about custom drums. Drum making to me has always been about providing a creative outlet and providing balance in my life. It surely is a beautiful thing to imagine something in your...

Switching hands for an "open" effect

feeds@yuku.com (Drummin4Christ) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:47:55 GMT

Never thought I'd miss the "poll" option...
I watched a drummer playing the other day who had moved his ride to the left side of the kit, above & behind the hats, with a steep rake almost like a lot of chinas are mounted. He played like a lefty, hitting the hats and ride with his left stick and the snare (and toms) with his right. I was impressed that he was able to utilize the toms in his grooves very easily since he didn't have to cross hands to keep time on...

Positioning of new (to me) toms added to Red Vistalite Kit

feeds@yuku.com (Drummin4Christ) — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 18:08:38 GMT

I recently added a red vistalite snare and two toms, 15" and 16", to the red vistalite kit. I don't see the poll option any more so I guess we'll do this the old-fashioned way...I played the kit a bit with Little Red and the 12" rack tom on a stand to the left of the hats, the 13" and 14" on the left kick, the 15" and 16" on the right kick (yeah, they sit pretty high), and the 16" floor jacked up on bricks to the right of the 16" rack. The...

Does anyone know how old this forum is? I was just pokin around and saw stavedave say he signed up in 1998. Has this forum been going on for a decade? and if so, why aren't we making a bigger deal about this!? 10 years of knowledge and good vibes is a pretty long stretch, lets keep it rolling!

tom de-tuning

feeds@yuku.com (el matt2003) — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 00:44:44 GMT

I just jammed for the first time with my new kit (yes, pictures to come). We only played for about 45 minutes, and I noticed a bit of pitting on my 9X12, followed by some wrinkling. I stopped playing, and I felt my tension rods, a few were only finger-tight.

I probably have about 2 hours on this kit, if that. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I know drums come un-tuned, but this is crazy, any ideas/solutions?

Head choice

feeds@yuku.com (abandofgypsies1) — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:46:15 GMT

Hey guys
I have that small Gretsch kit I wrote about some time ago, thanks for all your help!!!! Right now I have Evans G1's on the toms, HD dry on the snare and an emad on the 18" kick. It sounds just fine but since I'm using the kit for jazz I have been playing around with the idea of switching over to all Fyberskin (spelling??) heads. Does anyone have experience with Fiberskin heads? I'm trying to get the drum set not to sound warm and wet and not like a...

Snare tuning question

feeds@yuku.com (abandofgypsies1) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 16:50:28 GMT

Hey all
I just purchased one of those Gretsch Catalina Club kits. The kit sounds really good and the 18x14 kick drum will suprise you!! I'm having a tough time tuning the 5x14 snare. It seems to really choke up or have a lot of overtones and almost sounds like a toy with little to no sweet spot. I have been playing heavy 6.5x14 brass snares for years so maybe that's the issue? It came stock w/ Evans G1 on top and the resonant head on the bottom. I'm a big fan of the...

Acoustic Setting Drumming

feeds@yuku.com (CoronaLou) — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 11:54:07 GMT

Some of the string pluckers at work would like to play some with just acoustics.
Any one here do backup with a Djembe only?
Any tips, tricks, pointers, cool fills?

Probably be working in Blues or POP areas.

Hi, Everybody!

I just arrived in the US from Europe, and I'll spend the next months in the DC area.

I already planned to visit the "official" attractions (museums, monuments and all that stuff that you find in the tourist guides). But since I'm a (amateur) musician and drum maker I'd also like to discover other things, like places to enjoy good music, music stores, and so on. Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
