Hi,
I've been playing the set pretty consistently for about 20 years, and I feel confident in my playing, but I feel somewhat unconfident about my knowledge of certain types of gear, as well as tuning drums. I can get by, but I want to become really knowledgeable.
Specifically, I feel confident when it comes to choosing:
- cymbals
- pedals
- stands
- sticks
But I feel somewhat unconfident (although not useless) about:
- choosing toms/snares/bass based on materials (wood type, metal types, etc)
- choosing sizes of toms/snare/bass
- tuning to get specific sounds
I would love to take some kind of class, or series of classes, that focuses on drum hardware and tuning, but I've never heard of anything like that. Is that something anyone has heard of? Any ideas how I can find look for something like that close to me? In case anyone knows my area, I live in Seattle.
Thanks for the help.
