I made mine from basic pine 1x12's and used 1x2's instead of metal rack rails. I use wood screws and rubber plumbing washers to screw in the gear. A light coat of varnish from a spray can and I'm good to go. I made four of them; a five space, 2 seven space, and a 12 space slanted rack on...

DON'T DO IT ALAN! Step AWAY from the recorder! (In a voice like someone's dad); You don't want to end up like me do you? Seriously, welcome aboard. Your life will never be the same. (insert sympathetically evil laugh; ha ha ha ha ha...) Well, three years ago I was in your shoes...the Zoom...

I have both of these in my arsenal. Pundits' post was right on the money. Great info! In down and dirty layman’s terms; C1 is brighter, harsher, etc. Use it where you want brightness. B1 is warmer, darker... you get the idea. Real life example; Just did a lead vox track with a C1, thought it...

...ones with pictures of naked speakers.....drool.....ummm, and oh yea, same as everybody else. Depends on the articles that month, if they're relevant to me at the time. I do think I learn more from the BBS's though...

Hi, my name is Mark and I'm a gear-a-holic. (chorus with echo and verb);"Hi Mark..." I've been "sober" (meaning; haven't bought any gear) for four days now. I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out.... My biggest problem (other than what my 17 psychiatrists call gearalogical...

I was running sound for a band recently and the drummer, who has played in a band with a fair amout of commercial success, was excusing his poor timekeeping by saying "it's all about the groove, man...". I smiled and politely excused myself... I too am a drummer. I do a fair amout of sessions...

Mars used to have a mic room where you could listen to several mics side by side to compare. We don't have a Guitar Center in Kansas City so I don't know if they have something like this or not. That would be a great place to start though. I personally like to HEAR a mic BEFORE I buy it. That's...

from my terrific wife.....the usual (don't ask, it'll just make you jealous) ;) from me.....a black beauty :) every day is christmas :D

This was the first mic pre I owned. When I was greener than the grass on the other side of the fence, I thought it was great. As I turned a little more brown (from BS and burnout!), I began to see its limitations (and hear its noise...a lot of noise). I recently sold it and will never own...

In the attempt to continue to upgrade my gear, I recently got two RNC's since they seem to be the rage (and their affordable). Now I think it's time to upgrade to a stereo (or perhaps dual mono?) eq unit. Main use will be processing individual tracks once their in, and then on the main stereo...

Here's my 2 cents; save yourself a tremendous amount of time and frustration and buy a drum dial (the kind that measures the tension on the head-not the lug screws). They sell for about $50.00 now. You can tune a set of drums quickly (5 min. per drum, including the kick) and they will be as...

Aquarian Superkick II, it's the best sounding head I've found, and I've tried a lot of them. Great versitility depending on muffling, as well. I use them on both my kits.

You might check with your local drum shop. Explorers Percussion in K.C. has a high tech machine that does all the dirty work for you. They come out looking like new and at $5-$7 per cymbal it's the only way to go!

Way to go Buck, it's nice to hear a "nice guy finishes first (for a change) story"! Keep the momentum going! Mark

Well, I'm certainly not an expert on either of the two kits you mentioned but since no one else has responded, here's my 2 cents: I currently play Sonor's and when I make my next trade it will be to Premiers. I looked at both when I got this set, but the store was discontinuing the Sonor line...

Human Radio put out thier one and only CD in 1990, self-titled "Human Radio". Ross Rice is the main writer. They seem to be from Nashville, and I sincerely wish they would have had some commercial success. This would get my #1 vote.

Gimme three notes of "Gimme Three Steps" and I'll be headin towards the door. Wipe Out is one that (most of) us drummers really hate too.

When I asked this question, I didn't even think about "Pink Cadillac", "Mercedes Boy", or "Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" (whatever the title to that one is), or other songs such as these...duh... Wouldn't ya know I don't listen to Puff Daddy... who would have thought?

Lyrics World has a list of the top songs by year. I don't know if it's consistant with the Billboard list but it's a good start. The link is; www.summer.com.br/~pfilho/html/top1/index.html Let us know what you come up with to cover. Mark

Let's say that I want to write a lyric line such as "I pulled into McDonalds, to get a bag of fries..." Since company names like "McDonalds" are trademarked, may I use it or not? To further complicate matters, let's assume that I have no intention of selling this song, it's only a promotional...
