No worries. I often don't make myself clear. <g> I did have my sound guy fix it for me so it's loud enough to play along with, so I should be ok. IF I can stop having gigs and new songs thrown at me lately.

I learn new songs every week, and I have *never* felt the need to learn in note for note. I'm talking this specific *arrangement* . This "gig" has been in the making for *decades*. I've never played with a conductor or choir, and *I* don't want to be the one to blow this.

Pocaro was the Stu Unger of drums. <just seeing if any other drummers are poker people>

Not really familiar with them, but I liked #2

I've asked. Great people. I'll be fine.

S Sounds awesome!

I do pretty much all of that. In this particular case, I can only find ONE *specific* arrangement that they want to do. (There's plenty that are *close*...but close can cause problems). And yes, I normally use Planning Center, which isolates drums, but they don't use it. I'll be fine. Pretty...

Dude! I have GKs! LOVE them. Although my wife made me get IEMs recently for on stage. I'm on camera a lot now, and she thought I looked dorky. Normally, I get all arrangements from my church(es) through Planning Center, including isolated drum parts. Given the whole choir/orchestra thing, and...

I normally have enough time to figure songs out, as I have been doing for decades. I never really need to do something 100% specific. I'll watch a bunch of covers, and incorporate whatever I like. I have 2 months to learn these songs, so I'm not concerned, I just really would like to nail it...

Yeah...don't have that capability. I normally just make a set list for gig on Youtube and then just listen to them 1,000,000x. Then I'll play along with headphones. This particular video just isn't loud enough to do that. For church, we use Planning Center, which is amazing. When I *really* want...

I think Tama has, hands-down, the coolest *stock* finishes. This set was in my final 3 before I decided on my Renowns.

When I need to learn new songs, I typically go to Youtube and find a few drum covers/drum cams, then play along with my headphones. What do you do if 1) there aren't any, 2) the ONE recording of the exact arrangement isn't loud enough? Is there a trick to boosting the volume? Specifically this...

I plan on selling/trading my A's and getting a few.

I have a 19", and it's my go-to

Sold my set to a church in FL, and I'm flying down there in Nov to play them again!

I've been thinking of getting rid of my A's and doing K Sweets....in case anyone is thinking of doing the opposite.

My first foray into Directdriveland. It's...different. I don't *not* like it. Not a "game-changer" by any means. Doesn't seem radically different than my 9000. It does seem...*quieter* though. I tried the DW beater I normal use and it just seemed to "tap" the BD. So I put the stock Gibraltor...

Never did that (biggest regret), but I learned something about them when one was going to cover for me at a CA church one week. I thought "this kid is amazing on the snare. He'll do great!". Um, no. Turns out that some people can set a snare on fire, but they have no concept of playing with 4 limbs.

I don't understand some of the comments. The sign says "World's Fastest Drummer". It's an actual contest, and he won. It doesn't say "World's Most Musical Drummer", or "Dream Theater Auditions"

After all these years? The party's over. Feeling that way anyway. Wonder who's crying now? Still they ride, to play some music, faithfully. Don't stop believing
