You don't need to use full arm motion to hit the cymbals ( it can cause tendonitis on the long run, specially if you hold the sticks really hard and hits hard). He should work on learning to get the full body sound of the china without the need of a hard hit. Hitting a cymbal really hard doesn't...
I normally play either with flip flops or with my vibram fivefingers :). The footboard of the axis pedals (old ones not the 21 bla bla bla ones) cuts me whenever I play barefoot :(
That pdp set looks good although getting two bass drums is kind of a bitch if you don't trigger, tunning the bass drums to the same pitch or close to the same pitch takes time and patience. Also if you play a show you have to drag 2 bass drums with you, don't get me wrong I love playing with...
I have a pearl rack and a tama drumset, and there is no problem with compatibility at all, the tama shell pack comes with two tom arms, you just clamp them onto your rack with the pearl clamps. Actually a drummer he might relate to more is Shannon Lucas from The Black Dahlia Murder. hope this...
The thing is that I want in, but I don't want to put down the deposit until I know the aprox build time or at least if it is going to be something in between 12 and 18 months or more, because if it is that long I can definitely put down the deposit but if it is not I can't, I need to plan my...
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! saw them last year at the summer slaughter and they sounded amazing! I also saw them the only time they played in Mexico (at least I think it was the only time) they had vitek (RIP), he was one of my biggest influences when I started playing drums I remember I heard spheres of...
Javier from Animals as leaders is selling a custom 8 string made by the illustrated luthier for 2000, I think that is around the same price as a rg2228 :). Edit: you already saw it, I just saw the thread about it. lol
I would go for either a pearl or a tama, the ludwig one has poplar in the shells which is not good. Different woods have different porosities so it is absorbed differently and with time you the plies will start to separate(faster than with woods of the same porosities). Whenever I buy a new...
maybe he need to get shorter sticks, sometimes if your kit is too close together (the ride and floor tom for example) and you're using long sticks they get stuck after you do a fill in the floor toms and you accidentally hit the ride. Or he could just move his cymbals a little further away. I...
