Re: MD - the greatest ever vote.

People creating fake accounts...?...wow, talking of having issues. I think you should enforce some dignity into this poll. 50 is a very long list any way. You need a lot of decent drummers to make a decent poll. To have a 'motivation' for the top 10 drummers would be nice. ...Vinnie is the greatest ...

Re: what do drummers need to know about pedals?

Anything with a bottom plate. I like the DW9000 very, very much. But I agree with Kurtis. Don't turn a simple thing as a drum pedal into rocket science. I didn't see the Sonor vid but whatever Jojo is saying about anything related to drum technique is true. We have a great HOD member, Pete [?] who k...

Re: Vinnie's New Kit (w/pics)

See those rubber feet on the floor tom legs? Those little things are awesome! They are made by Pearl , at least that's where I got them some 15 years ago. I've put them on Yammie legs and they really do something IMHO. A deeper warmer fatter floor tom just by leg pieces. They came with a 'power up' ...

Re: VINNIE - Vintage videos...OK or not vintage.

Those Heuer drums [toms] do sound really great. Great tonal range and great punch, somewhat Yamaha-ish with a little more bottom end. My guess is that Vinnie is gonna stay with this brand. I still don't fanboy about the Paiste's except for that gorgeous China and splashes. I think the ride is just a...

Re: VINNIE - Vintage videos...OK or not vintage.

Oh MAN!!! What a BAND! That is my fav musical setting for Manu, he is a total genius when it comes to 'play on the fly'.One of the fastest brains around, and what a taste. Loved it! You could put him too in a 'group' of drummers with ties to Tony Williams..like Vinnie.

Re: VINNIE - Vintage videos...OK or not vintage.

...aha...so that's why Weckl moved his rack toms. I always thought it had something to do with the trad grip. His small Tom seems to fall nice into place for that. Also the way he angels them I thought of coming handy for trad. But it makes perfect sense to free up the second tom from the ride. But ...

Re: For sale: aluminum die cast hoops - 14"

Good for you :-] I think the Phoenix comes stock with alu hoops. I learned way back about these things trough Manu Katche. They have the rigidness of die-cast but they don't choke so much. Somewhere in between die-cast and triple flanged. The yammie's also are shorter then the Gretsch hoops, somethi...

Re: For sale: aluminum die cast hoops - 14"

I love these hoops, if you still have a set yammi alu hoops I'm very interested but I've no idea how much the shipping cost Will be to Europe/Netherlands.
