Dang 15 minutes to sign and and finally open this thread. I wish they'd just let me be TomHertz (that worked just fine) since incapable of fixing my GA account. Anyways without power a week I missed this thread-glad you're Ok PorkPie. And Thanks Push Pull for letting me know. Modern humans have...

Awful news-just been a week with no phone, power, etc. but fortunate to damage to home or loved ones. I'm worried about PorkPie he lives near Asheville I recollect so in harms way. I'm praying for him and his family. My GetAgrippa account still unusable because ti takes forever for anything to...

My account has become unusable.I've been trying different things-clearing cache, etc, changed password. I'm sure it's something on my end but it only impacts DW. It takes minutes and minutes to log on or any page to pop up. For the longest time I couldn't log on at all. It might have been some...

Woodstock was amazing and rippled across the country. Young people of all kinds became hippiefied. Even Redneck South Ga suddenly went from every truck having a gun to the only use for a barrel was to blow smoke through to a waiting consumer. Clothing, attitudes, taste in music all changed. My...

I tried it as he did but then I tweaked it a bit and I'm loving my floor tom. I usually tuned my 14 floor about F2 because it doesn't sound great low tuned. But using his method had it down to A1 and just thunderous, but I brought it up C2. Yeah Baby! Thanks Bozoid. Yeah and rolls no problem. I...

That's a beautiful work of love- I like your ingenuity. So how would you describe the single tension in achieving a good drum sound-tunings more difficult or easier?

Well they'll give any idiot a PhD-I prove that everyday. I remember there were the gunners in my wife's Med school class (all A's she was one of them) and then the larger population of C=MD attitude. I think about that when I first meet a new physician (for my growing ailments LOL)-is this fella...

I'm a non-musician who has actually impressed some non-musicians on my drum kit-but a blind squirrel still finds a nut, and the adulation tells you a lot about the musical taste of both. Nuts. I firmly believe impressing non-musicians isn't a huge feat-impressing musicians is a horse of a...

Record yourself playing to drumless tracks. Just play to one you’ve never heard and see how long it takes you to find pulse cold intuitively, then listen intently and play again recording with purpose. When you record yourself you’ll see f time is dragging or anything else then fix it. Doing it...

That's impressive. Chris Whitten loves the N&C-I haven't seen him in awhile-hope he's just busy. I'd love to have 3 piece walnut from them. I may not shine but the kit would-yeah baby!

Bozozoid that video 🎤 ing differences freak me out. So you use it- can you play double stroke rolls on floor that dead and loose? Surprised the heck out of me it sounds good. I’m gonna try on my 14 floor. Thanks bro. DW the Cornucopia of all things drumming strikes again. Jay and Silent Bob...

You gotta be consistent pushing on head but yeah it gets you in ball park. Have any of you folks tried that Masshoff snare tuning method? That just seems wacky -like it would kill heads, rims, bearing edges, and maybe affect round in time? I'm usually wrong but my instincts tell me that. That...

I think in many ways I got stuck at 16- must have been the tainted grape juice. I use to cut up a lot in labs (dissections LOL) and I had students tell me “You’re just a big kid Dr Beall”. I have to admit I am. . I’ve always seen things in mystical ways- maybe why I became a scientist to...

Nice selection of cymbals Stroman. I like the flat ride though I think I'd miss having a bell (I don't know really why?). I liked the second one too -it has a nice bell, but looks like you had to hit it harder to open cymbal up? The Paragon is a King Ping and that bell is gosh awful-I like it...

Hey at least TAMA is producing new finishes=SONOR should pay attention. The kit would look better with me sitting on them.

No remember Bernard Purdie played drums for the Beatles. Stsrkey was like Mickey Dolenz of Monkees. Both eventually learned to play- taught by the great Bernard Purdie. I read this in Purdie’s new book. “I invented all the cool $4it on drums and recorded every hit by an artist”. He was the Hit...

I've been working on gripping the stick with my last two-4 and 5 pinky. I had been grabbing with my 3,4 and pinky dragging along. My fingers are just getting stiff as a board. But I discovered the further I move back to 4 and 5 I get a lot more freedom of stick motion. I didn't realize the 3/4...

Sound is kinetic mechanical energy because it's a wave traveling through air created by mechanical compression-but it's a wave and similar to photons the higher frequencies carry more energy. Photons make up all the electromagnetic spectrum -cosmic, uv, light, X-rays, etc it's just the...

I wonder if you could create a two layered plexiglass or graphene for strength drum cubicle with a vacuum between sheets-of course it will need support through walls. You can ventilate it and sound proof that part too. Floor is always an issue though so it would need a larger support with shock...
