Didn't he kinda start that style of playing (New Orleans Funk)?

I can look around online for weeks and still not figure it out. Can someone help? This is on an 18" ride.

Sold off a bunch of stuff except for my Ludwig classic maple Bonham set. Planned to head back over to guitar land for a bit, then landed this funk gig on drums with some GREAT players. I've ALWAYS wanted to play funk, so I'm super excited! It's a modern original band, but their songs are...

I'd like to get some really lightweight cases or even bags to protect against scratches when transporting. Cases I can wad up and stuff inside each other at the gig. Not for protection from dropping or anything. Honestly, it would be cool to have a huge "crown royal" style bags. That would be...

Ive installed bass drum cymbal holders before, but only in drums that are wrapped. My new Ludwigs have a lacquer finish and id die if that lacquer cracked. Like die. So, what are the correct techniques for drilling without cracking?

It's a Bonham kit, but I fully realize I can't play anything like him! So there! Anyway, just picked this up on Labor Day from a small local dealer (Fred Pierce's Drum Studio). Got a killer deal (as usual from Fred). I still have all of the stock heads on it for now. I've spent alot of time...

... A brand new Ludwig Classic Maple kit with the exact features I wanted -- large lugs, "T" tension rods on bass drum, arch spurs, thermogloss finish, blue/olive badges, and Bonham sizes. Can't believe it was IN STOCK at a local dealer! It's exactly how I would've ordered it! I'm celebrating...

I've checked out every Sabian Big and Ugly I've run across hoping to find one that grabs me. None have until the other day when I heard this 24" King model. I didn't buy it that day, but I thought about it for a few days. I went back and hit it again and it sounded better than I remembered...

Definitely wasn't brave enough to post this during the competition, but now that it's over, what the heck... I had a good time playing to this. I get lost at times, but whatever. :) Sorry for the crappy quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySLCyCIaAg

Maybe this is well known, I have no idea. But a friend just sent this to me and it's fantastic! ha ha ha... https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=25&v=9x4bfHllX2A

EDIT on 4/23/15 - These aren't dents along the edge. These are hammer marks and they haven't affected the structural integrity or sound. I'm sure they were there when I bought them new and just didn't notice them! I'm an idiot! LOL... They look worse in the pics, because I was trying to...

This is definitely a "hey, look at me" thread. I work hard for a living and have no shame in owning nice things. :) Anyway, here's a shot of my two drum sets - Yamaha Club Custom and Live Custom. I have 22/10/12/14/16 drums for both, but use them setup the way they are in the pics. Snares...

Just got a new set of cymbals this past weekend that I'm madly in love with (honeymoon phase, I know... ha ha.) Made a quick video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvTYzN8F_Hg Here's a post about me getting them. http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=124455

Spent the weekend in Memphis with my beautiful wife. We love that place! I was excited like a kid waiting to head back to Memphis Drum Shop! LOL These guys are the real deal. After I narrowed things down they brought out several cymbals for me to piece together as a set. I landed on a set...

Hey! Can you name or link to a particular song that has the Peart snare sound you want to achieve? I realize you're saying his snare sound is very distinct, but I'm curious if there's a song that showcases the tone you're talking about?

Glad to hear others say his fills were odd. I felt really incompetent when I didn't get some of those fills right off the bat. LOL Knowing now that they were programmed really explains why they are odd.

I don't claim to be a really good drummer, but I can "get by" on most songs "fine." With that said, I recently learned "Photograph" to play with some local friends and the whole thing felt totally unnatural. I struggled with it. I got it, but I've made fun of myself many times for struggling...

Congrats on your new kit!!!

I love the sound of coated Remo's, but like several others on here, the coating was wearing off very, very quickly. I know this sounds made up, but I've put many new coated Remo heads on my drums the past several years and 99% of the time, the coating would wear away where the stick hits within...

Hi folks. Just made a quick video comparing my three Sabian ride cymbals side-by-side. I really dig these cymbals! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7q8bj76S6zE Curious to hear opinions on the sounds, but also how these rides play well together (or not!)
