Here you go: http://www.keithcarlock.com/discus/messages/19/38.html?1179091595 As for burying the beater-- there's no way he gets that sound from burying the beater. I'd bet the farm on it. In fact, on some recordings you can hear the beater "dribbling" or fluttering on the head, which com...

The main problem with being a musician is that you have to work with musicians. Man, I almost fell out when I read that. I have felt that way for years, but never had the brains to be able to put it so concisely. I basically dropped out of school for a short while to try and do music full-time. Thi...

I can't stand lady gaga. I just saw on the news she arrived at the awards show in an egg shell. Brilliant. Music sucks but her antics are neato. Gonna have to disagree with you.

Well, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt... damn...

If you guys are referring to Vinnie's "gut", I am pretty sure that it is the fan (to his left) blowing his shirt out, and is not actually "him." You can see that in the first couple seconds of the clip when he pulls his shirt out. Maybe that will help...

Yes, this is a tractable problem. You input what force you want the head to be hit with, what force you want to hit the pedal with, in terms of your foot. If these parameters are within reason, with respect to the mechanics of the pedal, then you have three variables: mass of the beater; height of t...
