    Tuning woes

    My OPINION: Well, if overtones are your problem, then coated is your answer. Clear heads bring out overtones while coated heads drown them out. Mute/muting is also a good idea like moon gel or just some tape. Coated, thick, two ply head are specs that will reduce overtones (although you can mute...

    Future User (Tim Commerford's new band)

    Haven't heard anything about this. I like that they're using that "dub step" fat snare sound along with electronics, on top of Commerford's bass lines. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AycZ_9goeS4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eCdZIscPow

    Matt Greiner

    Oh man there's soooo much to say about Greiner...his composing is just phenomenal as well as his personality. Well that goes for all the guys of ABR, probably the most humble guys I've ever met. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZVkk4CWq8k Here's a live video of composure from 2009

    Problems with D'Addario...

    Well he was obviously right about you loosing your temper, this forum has become much more interesting as of now! As for D'Adarrio, they're still making great strings and have only benefitted the Evans company. I think the head fitting problem is a general problem i.e. all drum bearing edges are...

    Travis Orbin "Project" EP

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM3M-CM2wLE&feature=youtube_gdata If no one knows by now I am a HUGE Orbinator fan. So when this dropped I had to listen, and of course his drumming is f*cking rickdiculous! I wasn't too fond of the guitar tones but his drum licks are just fantastic. I felt...

    Fish Leg

    So I'm drumming for this band called Fish Leg. They're acoustic instrumental and have a lot of folk, reggae and jazz influence. In general, they're weird as f*ck and I've never heard anything like them before. Pretty excited to say I'm their official drummer. Anyway so I heres a pre pro sample...

    THE AMBIDEXTROUS THREAD

    OKAY. It has it's own thread now, ambidextrous, open handed, cross dominant - anything that's not standard/traditional/normal playing - can be flooded and debated here. I'll start off by saying I am naturally right hand dominant, but I have forced my left hand to become equal so I can play...

    Speedcobras!

    So yeah I was in the middle of blowing my cash at GC and decided to get new pedals as well. Anything would be better than my cheap PDP's since I'm trying to advance my left foot more as well. So demon drives were first on the list, but I really don't feel like paying 50 bucks just to stabilize...

    Zildian 16" Oriental China huge crack!

    I have had this cymbal for maybe a year or so, maybe less, and have been moderately brutal with it. It's a Zildjian and this cymbal could take anything I threw at it, never cracked, nothing. I noticed before practice today that it had a small crack maybe less than half a centimeter. I thought...

    Matt Garstka gone wild???

    I know Matt is a wild one when it comes to drumming, but this is just ridiculous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQpUyYl0yqY Thoughts?

    Matt Halpern

    I dig Matt's style. His solo in Erised is an amazing solo to me, it's not your typical "I'm playing drums as fast as I can" solo. It's a really slow groove emphasizing on expression. Much enjoyment check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khACKq23bC8
