what up fellas, just wanna know if there are any other drummers here besides myself. Also what kinda music you guys play or listen to, what kinda set you play, etc. Myself I play a Pacific CX Kit with a pork pie snare and various cymbals, I enjoy playin all kinds of music from funk to jazz but as of now play in a rock band.

OGMasterKush · #2 (**permalink**) 10-16-2006, 01:19 AM

yo meng, your not alone.
i like to experiment with all different kinds of different sounds and rythymns ranging from bosanova to funk to death metal.

yeah, all around my favorite style of music to play has to be a mix, keep mix in mind, of funk, metal, and jazz. to give an idea, think about a proggressive rock beat with ghost notes and a funky kick, occassionaly some double bass tastufully with plenty of fills for effect and time keeping.

my kit isnt that spectacular but it suits me fine.
its a pearl forum 3xtoms, base drum.
porkpie piglite 13" snare
zildjian a custom crashes
paiste 2002 hats and dimensions power bell ride
cant foget the $10 wuhan china cymbal

Tsup guys,
I play a pearl with various cymbals like zildjian, paiste, pearl, etc. I love playing funk and jazz and anything in an odd time signature, but I can play rock and I love using my lefty double-bass drum pedals.

Ha man thats funny I got like the same set up going with a different kit. I got the 13x7 porkpie not sure on the name, I also got a wuhan china hahaha. Im down with your style of playin progressive with funk I do the exact same thing rofl. Rush and Chili Peppers are easily some of my biggest influences. Do you ever play fat rap beats with sick hat beats?

Yeah, moderatly slow to fast beats that are heavy with solid bass drum hits and snare cracks.
Sometimes it just sounds so good to play "in the pocket" if ya know what im saying

O yeh, as for the Porkpie Piglite, its the acrylic one. Ive tried the other porkpie wood snares, and they sound amazing also. But, if you havnt checked out the acrylic piglite, i highly reccommend it. The tuning on it is so versatile, the general explanation i can give it is poppy, not punchy, but you can control the ring easily with a quick turn of a tune key.

Ya, I was torn between the acrylic and the maple but I ended up going with the maple because it was ventilated and a little fatter. How do you go about tuning your set? Right now Im jsut playin it by ear and I cant seem to get the pitch I want. Ive been considering throwing down 60 for a drum dial to get the perfect pitch each time.

I just bought a set 2 days ago... it's that 500 dollar one on musiciansfriend.com... two bass drums, 5 toms, snare, hardware, plus 220 dolalr zildijan cymbal pack (hi hat, crash, ride, china), sticks, and a throne. Total like 800 and change.

Care to impart advice to me? (BTW, I know the set will probably be average at best, but I'm a beginner... taught myself over the past 2 years at my friends house who has drums, so I don;t have much talent to speak for)

Id recommend you learn to read music, always play with a metronome, and most importantly dont give up on a hard beat, youll get it eventually. What kinda music you listen to? From your username id guess metal haha, but what are some of your favorite bands?

Yeah def. metal...

Lamb of God
Slayer
Death
Hate Eternal
Meshuggah
Acid Bath
Cynic
Atheist
Carcass
Opeth
Katatonia
Isis
Dying Fetus
Iron Maiden

the list would just continue...

but I also listen to a good amount of jazz, hip hop, rap, rock, and progressive...

So yeah

I can LOOSELY read music, but why is that helpful (just wondering, not doubting you)...

and I've heard playing with a metronome is really helpful, any recommendations?

BCRazzle · #10 (**permalink**) 10-24-2006, 03:30 AM

Well if you dont plan on taking lessons then you should learn to read music through a book which will also give you some beats to work on. My drum teacher always starts beginners with The Ultimate Realist Rock Drum Method by Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge

http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Reali.../dp/0897244869

It comes with 2 CDs as well so you can hear what the beats are supposed to sound like when played correctly.

As far as metronomes go, any kind should work just make sure its loud enough to be heard over the drums and that it can change tempo. Also you definetily wanna consider getting earplugs, theyll save your hearing for sure

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...ers?sku=421214

Those are the ones I use and they work great but build up earwax pretty easily.

With all that metal youre listening to youll prolly want to get a double bass pedal eventually although it is not necessary to be a sick metal drummer (Nicko McBrain)

If youre looking for some music thats not only good but has insanely good drummers id recommend Rush, Tool, Dave Matthews Band, Frank Zappa, Zeppelin, Mastodon since youre into metal, The Roots for rap, System of a Down, and dream theater. But basically listen to whatever interests you, start slow and gradually speed up.

Yeah I like pretty much all those bands good shit

I would really like to lessons in my (sparing) free time... would you recommend them alot?

I have some hearos too... cause I play guitar and have for about 6 years

I think I'm gonna buy that book... I've always been a reading and auditory learner so sounds right up my alley...

BTW thanks alot for your help man!

BCRazzle · #12 (**permalink**) 10-25-2006, 05:27 AM

Ya lessons are definetily the way to go theyll expose you to new music types and eventually it will help form your own style that is totally unique. Thats sick youve been playin guitar for 6 years Ive been thinkin of pickin it up since I wont be able to play drums for a bit when I move into a dorm next year. As far as I know they are completely different instruments that require different types of skills with drums requiring more coordination and guitar requiring more I dunno everything else I guess. So ya if you can afford private lessons and have the time then for sure take them. Oh by the way just noticed that you started a thread about the new mastodon cd, its fucking killer their drummer is crazy, good he is the jazz god of metal.

Flugufrelsarinn · #13 (**permalink**) 10-25-2006, 11:23 PM

I play the drums. I've played for 2 years and I own a Pacific FS-Series set. I have Zildjian cymbals. I play mostly rock, but a little funk with my brother who plays bass guitar.

metalstonerking · #14 (**permalink**) 10-26-2006, 12:09 AM

Ya drums are extremely hard do to tune. You gotta just keep messin around with both sides of the drum until you get the sound you want. Honestly I cant tune for shit either but from what ive heard the drum dials that measure rod tension work very well. Im gonna be pickin one up in a week or so, they go for around 60 bucks.
