Re: Why I don't play V-Drums

Re: Playing in church
I've been playing at my local church for a little over two years, but we don't play any of the contemporary music at all. We arrange traditional gospel songs and hymns, and rewrite country and...

Re: Why I don't play V-Drums
Having played, but never gigged an E-Kit, I guess I don't really have the personal experience to comment on the mix/volume levels during a show....But, I don't remember having to hit that hard to cut...

Re: Snare tuning problems

Re: Ludwig Black Beauty
Snare drums are especially personal instruments. They, more than any other individual drum, are identified as projecting your individual 'sound', and for good reason. There are nearly infinite...

Re: Info About Playing Out of the Country (US)
In my opinion, I would say that you are a professional, providing a professional service, for a fee, and are not gaining employment in any way, shape, or form.
But...I wouldn't listen to me. It's...

Re: Thoughts on YouTube Covers?
Nah. Look at the views that some of those videos get. DW residents certainly don't speak for the masses on some issues, and this seems to be one of them.
Do your thing, be happy, and I promise...

Re: Music you don't listen to anymore...
I don't listen to the same things over and over anymore. I love random. And I love new musical experiences, so I really try to be open to new stuff, even if it takes a few listens. I might get...

Re: Need advice for new drum setup
I'm not offering a complete solution....or a solution at all now that I think about it. I will say that being in a situation that (semi-)forces you into playing at a lower dynamic, at least some of...

Re: Thoughts on YouTube Covers?
I, personally, think that what is missing in the world of drum covers is a concentration on the details of standard grooves. There are plenty of people playing to songs with complex rhythms and a...
