Re: Bass Drum Protection Debate!
I've broken two bass drum heads within literally days of using them, just because I was using a plastic beater. Just normal playing. The beater you use evidently makes a huge difference to the life...

Re: Do you keep adjusting your kit?
I'm always fiddling around with my setup. I seem to adjust my throne height every day more or less! I feel your ride cymbal pain, mine is a 22" and it does make placement a bit more difficult,...

Re: Double bass used in professional situation....
All the time, since I play a lot of power metal stuff where its use is pretty much mandated!
It's definitely an important skill to have in your arsenal, but shouldn't be allowed to take precedence...

Re: The social stigma attached to Metal...
I regard what we've done with the image in Gloryhammer as a bit of a send-up of this obsession that the metal community has with pretending it isn't image-obsessed. You'd be amazed how many people...

Re: The social stigma attached to Metal...
It's just what you're used to. From a distance, it's all just metal, rather like if you went to live in, say, India, you'd probably find that all the music around you just sounded like Indian music....

I really think the community aspect is the thing that you have to understand to properly evaluate the music. In mainstream popular music the 'community' is the media circus where artists' wares are...

Re: Mapex Saturn shell construction history

Re: Mapex Saturn shell construction history
Ah, brilliant, thanks! Basically, I've just bought a 2007-vintage Saturn that I'm yet to go and collect and I wanted to find out how similar it is to the more recent ones.

Mapex Saturn shell construction history
Can someone tell me when Mapex changed the shell construction of the Saturn series from maple/basswood to maple/walnut? I'm particularly interested in what they would have been doing around 2006-07....

Re: Are Drummers (Generally) Crazy?
That was a double stroke roll on bongos with sticks, wasn't it?
The OP topic reminds me of this clip (http://youtu.be/cf2MmYtRlkY?t=2m13s).
It's not an unusual opinion though, drummers do seem...

Re: Bad reviews?
Probably means those bands didn't actually play on the records!

Re: How do I motivate my bandmates?
My first band was like this. It took me three months before I decided to leave. If you're serious about getting anything done, do not tolerate timewasters. Ever.
