Re: double bass question (please help)
I've been doing the whole double-bass pedal stuff for awhile, so maybe my two cents here will help you out.
You have a balance question if I'm correct, and you're wondering whether or not to use...

Re: TRAK drums
Indeed, I believe that one issue can account for all of those issues raised... the plywood vs pressed wood issue... something that I have already addressed!
Now can you see my confusion to why I...

Re: TRAK drums
Hmmm... not much. Depends on the company, and the wood. However, as a general rule, in terms of loudness, a 3 ply shell would be less loud than that of a a 6 ply.
Is that satisfactory for you? ...

Re: TRAK drums
My first kit was a Trak.
No, they're not good. You cannot record a CD with them, or even a solid demo. They are useful if you don't have a lot of money, and are starting out. If you have a lot...

Re: Abe Cunningham
He is pretty smooth.
Passenger is an awesome song off of White Pony. Indeed, that whole album rocks off of all thier other ones (IMO).

Re: Do you sing while playing?
Sometimes. I cant sing to everything I play, but for a few tunes I have vocal parts (refering to my band).
I just sometimes grunt loudly. If I'm doing a fast roll or something and resolve it...
