Anyone in a band or play an instrument?

Hey Jim!

I found your new bass!

My modest set up. I guess it's a bit bigger than 8x8 but I have to sit at a right angle to fit my amp. There's usually a recumbent bike where the cajon is.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nice. 10" and 12" there?

I really like a 12 and 14 but they never want to sell a pack like that.

 

[Ryan]

12" and 14". My first kit had a 12" mounted on the kick and a stand with a 14" and a 16". The floor tom was a 16" as well which made it tricky to tune. I was 13 and it sounded like crap but I played the piss out of them.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I can see it, now when I look again.

The bigger the better!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Bastardos!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Well, that drum kit I bought is cool, but I'm ready to bump up.

This is arriving wed!

 

[Ryan]

All I sees is a black x darn it all.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Here you go - it's just a shell kit.

I'm heading out for a vocal practice today with two of the band guys. I think we picked up three festival jobs in OH this Summer (just negotiating prices).

been getting together with a couple other musicians, closer to home, just to jam & work on things lately also.

Might be a little busier this year than the last few...I hope...

 

[Ryan]

Those look good Butch. Are you combining the two kits?

 

[Fiddler]

Been years since I've enjoyed singing like we did this afternoon.

Well worth the 2 hour drive...

 

[FireFighterZero]

Glad you had a good time Dave!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sounds like you passed a good time, Dave!!!

I'm selling the other kit, Ryan.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I didn't know this shit was even possible

drum line stuff on a high hat...cool warm up.

 

[Ryan]

I've never heard of him but have seen a lot of those tricks watching hours of old jazz drummers (Buddy Rich etc.) Don't get me wrong though, he's frigging awesome. To be so good at an instrument that you don't even need to be in a successful band to propel you to fame is a feat in itself. Check out Drummerworld.com. Tons of videos of all the top guys of every genre over the decades plus a forum which is a heck of a resource for everything from gear to technique.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Just like all forums, I would hope!

I will check out that forum, Ryan!

Hey Ryan, do you have any riveted cymbals? I don't see them anywhere, like they aren't in style or something.

I installed 20 rivets on an inexpensive 18" Zildjian crash and it sounds WAY better now!

Interesting how they don't sell them like that anymore.

 

[Ryan]

I don't have any and don't see them for sale either. Got a pic of yours? Sounds like a neat DIY project.

Pic? No, but it's just a cymbal with rivets.

I really like it!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Never seen such a thing.


Never been in a band with a drummer using those kinds of cymbals.

 

[MasterBlaster]

And when I grew up it was all the rage.

Hey Ryan, I forgot - I'm already a member of that forum.

 

[Fiddler]

You can still get sizzle cymbals....

Plenty of info on installing your own on the net too...

 

[MasterBlaster]

No riveted cymbals there, just add-on stuff.

Rivets sound better than those chain/bead things.
