Re: GAVIN HARRISON - VF signature sticks video
Interesting about your bass drum sound Gavin. I too love your playing and your sound. I also enjoy working out of your Rhythmic Illusions book. In fact, I had never heard the term "rhythmic scale" before that particular section of your book. I have incorporated the scales, mainly the first...

Re: balance and double bass
I sit so that the angle of my upper leg is parallel with ground when I raise my heels up as far as I can. I don't know much about Colin's technique but I must admit that I don't personally think that having too much "leg" on my throne will prevent me from reaching any particular speed. Goo...

Re: OT: Number of professional musicians in the US
And far fewer of those, I'm guessing, are able to support themselves solely by their musical endeavors. I am, because I have no girlfriend/wife to support (or kids) and I share half a living room, and I have no life other then drumming. My favorite thing is being able to wake up, make coffee and a ...

Re: PolyNome: drummer's metronome app
Nice! Can you make it possible to use wave files from the device for custom click sounds?

Re: GAVIN HARRISON - VF signature sticks video
However in comparison, my sticks are custom made for me at $3.35/pair.
Do they do Dips? What company?
I picked up 2 pairs of VF Rock Dips (Sam Ash Hollywood/GC doesn't have the GH sigs yet) and I paid 9.18per for 19.97 out the door for 2 pair. That hurts man.

Re: GAVIN HARRISON - VF signature sticks video
The sticks are in the same ball park as the Vic Firth "Rock" model - which I've been using for the past few years. I think the balance on these new ones are actually better and possibly the best balance I've ever felt (and I have the guys at VF to thank for that). They are big sticks - an...

Re: GAVIN HARRISON - VF signature sticks video
Very interesting. I can totally relate to that feeling of the stick slipping out of my hand until I'm left holding near the butt. Then I have to choke back up to get to my ideal position. I started to really notice this when I began playing much harder and moved to a extreme 5b. I should have never ...

Dang, that blew my mind a bit.
