Re: Need a new Ride Cymbal; Any suggestions?

I play a 20" K Custom Dark from late 90's... but I've recently heard(and played slightly) the Benny Greb Sand Ride at a clinic, and was pretty blown away. Very nice all around ride. That's why I was thinking of doing a sandblast on the A Custom, nice cymbal, but too washy, it's a prototype tha...

Re: 30 days to get your hands together...

I wonder about the whole strength/speed thing, I've been described by others as fast and dexterous, but when I see some guys I realise that there is a lot further to go for the speed to match these gospel chops guys, but then do I need too? I have strength, not muscles so much, but I can play for 2 ...

Re: Len Davis Presents - Vinnie Colaiuta

Good thread, the only thing I don't understand is what a "Justin beiber" is, but I'll google that, I only buy music I want these days, the record companies took all my money from me from age 8 to 18, I'm not angry at that, I just wonder why they only produce crap these days.... if I hadn't...

Re: 3 snares to do it all...

3 is tricky, Dunnett titanium 6.5 is my absolute favourite, Ludwig millennium brass 5" is the best metal snare I could own other than the Dunnett. And my pearl custom classic, one piece maple with brass hoops has the rest of it covered, I have all the snares I ever wanted, but those 3 are the o...

Re: Playing Electronic Drums

I use V-expressions kits that I have modified to make my own, I trigger from my toms and kick to get the sound to the audience on bigger gigs, and they blend well with my real kit....Also using them as the pure TD-12 on recordings for local musicians and they love them, I don't really use them live ...

Re: Dave Abbruzzese

I play Even Flow with the bad I'm in at the moment, easy but it it grooves so hard we all play out of our skins! I never liked pj without him, Cameron was always fror Soundgarden IMO. I played a pattern based on WMA in a session years ago and the producer loved it, thanks to that I got loads of work...

The Drew Groove

One of my friends challenged me to learn this on Tuesday, it's taken me a few days but I got it now, but only on my Roland kit, can't wait to get it onto my acoustic kit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlxdoxU30yw This isn't me by the way... my version so far is this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
