Hi! I've been looking at a few kits in the middle price range. The Mapex Mars Pro is one i was looking at. I was just wondering if anyone here has/had one and if they think they are a worthwhile buy or not? Cheers Tim

Does anyone own or has owned one of these kits and think they are a worthwhile buy? whats good? whats bad...etc.... Tim

does anyone find that the best songs, and the most popular songs at gigs etc that they write have just the standard form? (ie verse, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus chorus) or is that just me???

Hey Everyone... www.bens_own.live.com.au download 'Nikki' or 'Even' (both in MP3 format - about 3.5 meg each) These were recorded a while back, using N-track. it was done pretty damn cheaply (otherwise we'd be in a studio) using 1 Shure SM58 and some shitty digitor mic (cost $9.95AUS) on the...

G'day everyone... Ok, I'm playing with wooden tip sticks and im finding that they are leaving alot of marks on my cymbals, in particualr, the small more rounded tipped sticks rather than the oval shaped heads. whats the best way of getting rid of the marks off the cymbals? cheers Tim

Any good? Tim

Howdy All, I've Recently started a swing / ska band and we are getting fairly heavily into it. We have started writing songs together and by ourselves... I'm a drummer / Guitarist and so when it comes to writing the horn section, i tend to get a little stuck. We have a Sax and Trumpet, and i...

I'm a drummer, but im gonna get me a guitar... nothing special... im thinking about getting Danelectro 56-U2 (re-issue of course) yay or nay?

ok, we've all said our favs...now let the shit fly... i'll start by noting Lars from Metallica. He's nothing special playing wise, and to top it all of, he is a fucking dickhead... Tim
