Hello fellow drummers. Over the last three months I have progressed a ton due to pretty consistent rudiment practice. My question is: On what beat is it most common to play the hi-hat with your left foot? I play mostly rock, punk, metal, you know, back beat stuff. I'm also interested in how to...

I'm bored and was wondering what you all thought about this. I consider myself a pretty nice, polite guy, although I do have a really crude side to me. If I were to meet some attractive girl, should I take a risk and be a complete douche? Oh man...Seems so wrong and backwards.

Hey guys and gals. I'm pretty bored at the moment so I figured I'd make this post. My girlfriend of two years and three months left me again a week ago saying things like "I don't think I can be happy with you in the future" and similar things. I'm 21 and she is 20. Some back story for you...

Does anyone out there know where I could go to get a foundation on this style of drumming? The patterns are intricate and I don't naturally play this way. I'd like to enhance my own drumming by learning a lot about this style of drumming. Can anyone point me in that direction or provide some...

For a long time I've been somewhat against the use of drum samples. I'm here to say that this mentality has only hindered me as most of what is produced today uses them. I'm amazed at what some good samples can do to basement drum tracks. With proper compression and limiting, you can achieve a...

Does anyone know how to make it so playback does not stop when the playback cursor reaches the end of a zoomed in screen? It is incredibly annoying. I've checked and unchecked the most obvious options that pertain to this but nothing does it. Thank you very much.

Does anyone around here do this? I'm stick in between a rock and a hard place- I'm trying to live up to a very punchy, sampled production standard but real drums recorded in a basement won't cut it like it used to (at least for me and in my area). Anyhow, my question is does anyone have any...

I'm new to playing live with my band and was wondering if anyone has some tried and true tips for being successful with stage presence. I am somewhat shy and have a bit of trouble looking like I'm really enjoying myself. I've heard simply smiling is huge, but I've always found it difficult to...

Hey everyone. Been a while since I surfed this site. I was wondering if you all could help me find the ideal tuning "range" of my drumset. It is a Tama Starclassic Birch wood kit. I've tried finding my exact set on musician's friend where I bought them but never had much luck. So, before I can...

This one's called "Amy Wants to F*** me". I'm recording and mixing an album and having my friend run his mastering chain over it. What do you guys think of the sound? http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2076&alid=1657

After slaving over this song for weeks I am proud to present it to you all! I tracked and mixed this and my buddy pseudo-mastered it. I'm on drums. Link: http://members.cox.net/fattmusiek/The%20Returners%20-%20Something%20To%20Look%20Forward%20To.mp3 or...

Man it sounds great. I didn't think it sounded good at first, but I'm listening to the EQs...are they API preamps? Would be analog guy here.

What microphone is the White Stripes singer singing into? It's black and cylindrical in shape. Here's a link: http://www.whitestripes.com/news/popups/slowly_hi.html The member of the band I'm recording also said he saw this mic being used in a Metallica recording session. Thanks for your time!

I am planning my upcoming recording session of pretty fast punk band. I am pretty bent on recording this band all at once instead of step recording due to efficiency and the fact that time is money. The room in which I'll be recording is rectangular. The dimensions are approximately 8 1/2 ft x...

I'm looking for reliable, height adjustable stands for my Yorkville monitors. They're 9 1/2 in. x 10 in. x 16 1/2 inches. First pair I deemed unworthy because they were a fixed height of 36 inches. I felt I needed height adjustable stands. I then tried the On stage 2 for 1 "deal" at...

I've got a Tama Starclassic EFX Birch kit (fusion size). I'm trying to tune my toms to go hand in hand with a song in the key of E major. Anyone have tips on how to achieve this?

Wasn't really sure where I should ask this. I'm interested in hearing famous recordings done on one of each of these consoles to get an idea of their major contribution to audio. I'm most interested in the API 2488, the SSL 4048E, and the Neve VR-60. Thanks a lot to anyone who is willing to lend...

http://members.cox.net/fattmusiek/My%20Way%20Nov%206%20mixdown.mp3 I just "wrapped up" this mix for this song we've been working on for months. It's hasn't been slaughtered, er, mastered yet. I posted our first real single called Time Time Time (later named So Fine In Red) a long time ago so I...
