The Drum Thread
KeepACoolin:
Due to my overwhelming poverty, I play a six-year old piece of crap Pacific set. Four pieces, two rack toms, floor, bass. Snare is Pork Pie, 14". Hihats are 15" Paiste 2002, plus two 2002 crashes, 18" and 14". I have a really low-caliber Sabian B8 ride (20") and recently, because the hihats came with a free stand, I started mounting an equally bad Sabian B8 crash-ride of 18".
I like Vic Firth sticks with a thicker hand grip. I like long, heavy sticks with wooden applicators (I used to use the Portnoy signature series with the nylon, but I decided against it last year).
Hat:
Dovey I know you are reading this and I know you still have that photo of your snare drum with T-Rex drawn on it and I want you to post it.
KeepACoolin:
Anybody have opinions on damping? I've experimented with both blankets and tape on the bass drum, but I think my problems are more due to the pedal, now that I think about it, because it's way, way too long.
So, anybody have an opinion on the best methods, whether actually muting the drum or with pedals?
Be My Head:
Can't you just shorten the pedal shaft? It should be adjustable.
Also, a lot of drummers do things like putting a pillow in the bass drum and a dampening ring on the snare, it reduces overtones.
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson) does this.
