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
I saw Bozzio do a clinic in CA at a GC once. Over the top ridiculousness. Certainly dispels the "drummers are dummies" nonsense. I *think* I saw him with Zappa in 1977. If I didn't, I saw Colaiuta with Zappa in 1978. (Hey, it was the 70's). Both at Mid Hudson Civic Theater.
I had to force the left side on to the shaft, and it was barely on. It's a major improvement, but I'm returning it anyway. I really don't play double bass much so I'm gonna just spend the $ on the Gibraltar .
Oh, it is. I just got a Trick drive shaft for my old 5000 (also hard to find), and it's not fitting properly. So I'm gonna return it and use the $ on a single pedal. Thought maybe I'd try DD.
Hey all. Zero experience with DD, but I've got about $175 credit at Sweetwater and I thought I'd roll the dice. Anyone have experience with this pedal. AND, after playing a chain for 50+ years, will a DD mess me up?
Honest question : is it *just* tone? I have a 6 1/2" DW Collectors, and a 6 1/2" Dynasonic, yet my 5 1/2" Ddrum Dios just *feels* better. Rolls are faster/etc. It's my go-to gig snare. I do play an 8" BB at one church. I like it, but it doesn't blow me away.
So I was looking for a drum cover of Pick Up The Pieces that I need to work on for our next gig, and came across this! (I think I'll stick to the original. You know, for the bands sake <cough>)
So my sound guy tells me yesterday that his kid (4) is banging away on a drum set. I'm thinking something cheap, but he says "I got a great deal on a bunch of stuff out of Indiana for the sound studio I'm building." Turns out it's a Starclassic in a custom blue color...and it's signed.
