They're supposed to be "Made By Evans", but I have no clue wether they are the G1 coated or G2 coated, or just some crap Evans made as cheap as possible.
I'm planning on putting coated Evans G2 over stock reso heads on my Catalina mahogny kit, and I'm just throwing this question out here to see if anyone have something interesting or unexpected to say. ]]> Heads and Sticks Swexx http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90934 Resotune II http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90933&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 20:08:39 GMT There is not many reviews out there of this?

Still lots of unwanted overtones that are driving me crazy.

Has anyone actually tried the new Resotune? Will it be better for fine tuning? The videos of I see of it on youtube are inconclusive.

Am I being too picky? For example, when I watch thesevideos, it seems like there are still overtones and inconsistencies in lug sounds after he is done tuning:

My name is Aviv Cohen and I'm from Los Angeles, CA.
A few weeks ago I shot and recorded 40+ videos of me playing to some of my favorite Funk, RnB and HipHop tunes.
All that has resulted to about 13 different video-collages of that footage and turned into a project im quite proud of.
Here are the 3 different playlists (divided by genres). Under each video is the list of songs featured in it.
Thanks and I hope you enjoy it.
Aviv.

Hi, i have been playing for about 3 years on the drums seriously, and have had lessons for 3 years.

I play around 5 hours a week at school, and its time to get myself a nice kit.

i have around 600 pound(£) around 1000 dollars i think((us)$).

So this is not going to get me the most amazing kit around but am sure i can get something decent, and i work so i will upgrade symbols and get evans or remo heads for whatever kit i get.

also upgrade two sabian symbols and add an extra tom.

(also double bass)



what kits do you recommend?


in mind i have the pearl forum. ]]> Drums Andrew Kent http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90931 improving foot technique http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90930&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 18:18:44 GMT Can anyone tell me how i can practice foot technique other than the actual practice time? i know...

So, our frontman, isnt much of a frontman. Other than being one of the 2 remaining original members(myself included), we dont have any more reason to have him in the band. He hasnt always been the best lead singer, more or less, just into the whole party scene. Boozing, forgetting words to the songs, not showing up to practices, paying our room rent up to 2 weeks late. This is just some of the things weve dealt with with Todd, as we will call him. Ultimately, what we are looking for, is for Todd to step aside and manage the band, along with run his promotion buisness, and we will bring in a different frontman. We already have someone interested, so finding another singer isnt going to be a problem. The biggest thing is, is how do we tell Todd. Hes one to bug out, and flip a lid over stupid stuff. Do we tell him straight up? Do we offer an ultimatum of, look. You need to get your crap together, or else we are going to replace you. Or do we just lay it on the line. Tell him that we need to have him step aside and start to manage the band so we can bring in another sionger so that we can start progressing forward. Has anyone dealt with this? How did you do it? Im good friends with Todd, and I just know that he will end up flipping out, but I dont know what he will do when he flips out.

But does groove have a speed limit? In other words, are there songs that are too fast to get or have 'groove'?
As an example I'm thinking of the Ramones Rockaway Beach vs. Zeppelins When the Levee Breaks. One is a thrash, the other way down "in the pocket".One could use many other examples.

In that hands of trained professionals, or semi-professionals, or just guys who like to beat things, drums can still be dangerous. Check this out. Last Sunday, the church band I play with was playing a bluesy version of Amazing Grace. We even had a guy playing blues harp miced, and the way he was playing it, sounded fantastic....almost like hearing the bagpipes playing on Amazing Grace. Anyways...

I sorta layed low on this song, not playing until a few choice cymbal rolls here and there. I'm kicked back, really getting into listening to the blues harp. When my appointed time to do a roll comes up, I proceed to creshendo on the 18" crash with my sticks. (I still haven't replaced the mallets that were stolen a few years ago....lazy I guess....) I'm growing louder and really feeling good about this roll.

All of a sudden, my left stick comes flying out of my hand, (traditional grip) bounces off the cymbal and bounces up and hits me directly in the face. I finish right on beat with a crash from my right hand. My face is hurting and my glasses are sorta crooked from the stick hitting my glasses, but all in all it's not fatal, so I'm thankful. Later on I discovered I had a bloody nose from this, but thankfully nobody noticed.

We have a... Our band has finally created a nice set list and we are trying to acquire more gigs. We have a large blues fest that we are playing in September that we are very excited about. It is just a 30 minute side stage gig, but we are excited none-the-less. Our goal at this gig is to get our name out there and direct people to our website. We have found that, in our area at least, everyone wants to see your website.

We just sat down this past weekend and started making our site. It is very basic at the moment and I was wondering (from those of you with band websites), what is needed in our site? What things have worked for you on your sites? Any do's or don'ts?
Ours currently looks like this (by tabs):

Home- Name of band and a link to the blues fest we are playing in September
About Us- Band picture with description of our music. We also have individual pictures of each band member that we, eventually, would like the ability to click on and have a bio from each member.
Gallery- At the moment, we just have 4 songs that you can click on to hear samples from Sound Cloud
Concerts- Up and coming gigs (which, unfortunately, is limited right now)
Contact Us- Option to either e-mail or call with contact numbers listed

As you can probably tell, we are amateurs at this whole website thing. I have suggested that we have a visitors counter so that we can see if we get an increase in hits after our promotion at the September gig or other gigs we may get between then.
I would like to see examples (from those of you who don't mind). Please post links to your sites. We just want to get the most out of our site so I am looking for advice.
Thanks in advance! ]]> General Discussion fixxxer http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90923 Hard Rock Drummer Sought http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90922&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 15:16:39 GMT Hard rock original act with a highly credible background is seeking a professional quality drummer.... Hard rock original act with a highly credible background is seeking a professional quality drummer. The music is melodic, intense and groove oriented. A heavy player in the style of Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Rainbow and The Beatles, preferably with Ludwig/Paiste gear. Total dedication, work ethic and a presentable image is needed. Those with reference media such as mp3, audio/video, photos, and general bio will be favorably considered.
