The Drum Thread
valley_parade:
I have my dad's old custom-built Pearl kit, but I've got no idea how to play drums.
KeepACoolin:
Do you play other instruments?
valley_parade:
Guitar. Actually, three of them.
Supposedly my dad tried to teach me drums when I was little, but I was too busy making noise to worry about rhythm.
KeepACoolin:
I had that same experience the first time I "played drums." I picked it back up a few years ago and found that I had somehow become much better at drumming during the period that I didn't play at all. It was fairly bizarre, but my guess is just that I listened to enough music to figure out the basics.
Dazed:
Hm, my top 5 right now, in no particular order:
Carter Beauford
Neil Peart
Jimmy Chamberlin
Billy Cobham
Danny Carey
I play a pearl export select kit I bought a few years back, with a pearl piccolo snare. I tune my snare high/tight, my toms low/loose. My cymbals are a total mishmash I've collected over the years, 14" Zildjian A New Beat Hi-Hats, 15" Zildjian K Dark Thin Crash, 10" Sabian B8 Splash, which I mount inverted on top of the Dark Crash (this one is next up for replacement), 14" Zildjian Oriental China Trash, inverted, 18" Zildjian Azuka Timbale Ride, and a 15" Zildjian A Custom Fast Crash, of which I've broken 2, on my 3rd now. I mute my toms with rolled up toilet paper and duct tape.
Everything is arranged like this
Yes, that is my basement.
