Hi all. I am trying to get my friends music out there and what better place than forums and online communities? He is an aspiring rap/hip-hop artist. Please spread and share his music to anyone you think will like it. This is the link to his sound cloud. https://soundcloud.com/christiantorrisi...

It's 2012, and you know what that means. Gigantic floods, exploding volcanoes, and the world ripping apart. Anyway, along with this my new years resolution is to learn bass guitar, and guitar. Post your resolution here.

I watched a video, and read some articles about the new signature stick Gavin Harrison is coming out with through Vic Firth. Right now I'm using Mike Portnoy pro-mark sticks because I like the control with them. Anyway any thoughts about the new Gavin Harrison drum sticks?

Does anyone know where I can find sheet music for drums for the band Karnivool, song name Deadman. Or if not, can anyone upload it, and send it to me? Just wondering.

Music these days seem to be so mad, with all the auto-tune, and no effort into the song from the artist themselves. But I recently discovered Karnivool, any others here ever heard of them? They put a lot in their music, especially the drums. What do you guys think? Also they sound a bit like...

What do the majority of you drummers use for your heads. What's the difference between G2 coated or hydraulic heads? I use Evan heads for my toms, and Remo for my snares.

I noticed today when I was playing, I had to stop because when I would use my bass drum pedal, the bass drum would rock back and forth, like outward then toward me. Especially during the double pedal. I noticed a fold in the carpet by where the arms are would that be the problem? I don't know...

Today June, 26th is Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole's death date. He died back in 1997. R.I.P For those of you who don't know who IZ is, watch the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I

One of my friends has something set up within this following week, he wants me to record with him in a studio because he may get signed (people from a record company are going to be there), and wants me to be his drummer. Problem is, I'm nervous and when that happens I put on my worst...

Finally after getting a new camera and the right set up I can post my kit, well here it is if you want to take a look. (Yes, my drum set is in my garage, don't have any where else to put it, and haven't fixed the date on the camera yet.)

I just ordered the DVD recently from drum addict-the love project, looked pretty neat, hopefully I can also get some good insight and different techniques to apply to the kit. Anyway, have any of you seen this documentary? What'd you think of it? Good and bad reviews are welcome.

What was your favorite concert you been to, who's the band, what was it like? My two favorite concerts I saw was Tool, along with Meshuggah when Thomas Haake played Traid with the band. The other was Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) during Lights In The Sky tour.

Lately I've been wondering what would be best to not mess up my body to drink/eat during break and after a gig/jam session, cause I play metal, and 3-4 hours straight, and I get really hot when playing, sometimes even sweaty, and I have a fast metabolism but for some reason I always drink coke...

I always loved the way Danny played drums as some others might as well, he is definitely a big influence/inspiration for me and a reason why I started playing, along with Neil Peart and Mike Portnoy, but Danny Carey is my favorite drummer. Anyway I always wondered where he got his style, sounds...

I came across from some Mike Portnoy drum cam videos and he is hitting the cymbal in a way I haven't seen before. Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrYOz5CRbkA If you skip to 0:35, the way he hits the crash, does it do anything significant if you hit a crash like that? Anyway...

Love half life, and can't wait for Portal two, it comes out April 18th.

I'm not sure if this has been started yet. But what are some of your favorite games that you like and play? Mine are World of Warcraft, Call of Duty Black Ops, and I'm going to start God of War 3. My favorite game series: Zelda, Resident Evil, The Elder Scrolls.

I been having a few problems lately during practice, insomnia has gotten worse, pills don't help so I just stay up all night playing World of Warcraft (a nerd drummer yeah, yeah lol.) Anyway, I was wondering, is there any advice some one could give me on how not to be so tired, like I said I...
