Hi Ramtin HajatDoust
Does it have a standard contract for this work and how can I get it with details? Can I download it from websites or contact someone that he could help me?
I don't have a standard contract - and have never used one for recording sessions.
Is it usual that I want him to register my name, website, email and my equipments like brand of drum shell, heads, cymbals, microphones, etc in brochure or catalogue of his album that I used them?
Not really - when it is your solo album or your band album then I think it's a good time to thank your equipment companies and mention their names. I don't do that when I play on other peoples records.
Which wood and with what diameter (thin,medium,thick) do you advise me for recording in studio for tom toms, kick and snare? Maple, Birch or combine of them or other wood .
All of those are good. It just comes down to personal preference.
Hi Fabio
Hi Gavin, i would to know information.
In your 5 wonderful "Custom-Chimes"
i usually listen one of these play a particular sound..
I don't know explain the exact "harmony" but i love it!
-Maybe the 2nd bell to left from 8" tom-
yes that particular one is a cut down splash cymbal. All the others used to be crash cymbals before I cut them.
Hi Chief2112
I guess if I was to ask anything of you right this moment it would be what advice you would have for someone just starting to learn to play?
Just enjoy playing the drums and get yourself a good teacher.
Hi euphoric_anomaly
Are there any time signatures that are still challenging for you?
They all are. I'm still trying to find new angles in any time signature.
Also, are there any genre's of music that you would find challenging? (salsa, african jungle music, polka).
I have played a lot of different genres in my time - and to be really proficient in any of them you need to absorb a lot of stuff and listen to the genre that you're trying to play. Therefore I find rock/funk/jazz comes easier to me because I grew up listening to a lot of it.
Cheers
