Being completely self-taught is a waste of time.
(I don't like Rush either)
Roland V drums sound and feel like real drums.
Ok, I'm going to throw a big flame out there:
Nickelback is not a bad band. They just play bad songs.
Stylistically- I like Palmer better than Blaine.
Earl or Carl? I assume Earl, right?
As in the bass world the sound guy will destroy and make null and void the tons of cash you invested in your kit.
Unpopular but true. Always enjoy only hearing loud hi hats and nothing else.
Krupa > Rich.
I know, not very popular, but tis my opinion.
I forgot one. Rogers drums are HIGHLY overrated. Only rich kids had them in the 60's. I can make almost any decent kit sound as good or better than any Rogers kit.
Keith Moon is over rated.
You don't need a fancy drum seat
What if it enables you to practice for longer than you otherwise would be able to because of back pain?
Yup, anything but overrated! I even upgraded the one on my practice pad set, because I couldn’t sit more than 20 minutes with the old cheapo!
