    Tubes

    When I had the Classic 30 turned around to take a picture of those tube retainers, I noticed there was a 'pinging' sound coming from the tubes. It's constant. I did a search and found a recomendation to lightly tap each tube with a pencil, so I did. One of the tubes sounded waaaay different than...

    Ram

    I've got 512mb's of pc2700, like this. Do I need to match it if I wanted to add more, or can I get newer/faster/bigger? The mobo is a Gigabyte, cpu is a P2.4.

    Classic 30

    What gives with the layout of this thing? In the picture below, it's kind of hard to tell, but the controls all face the rear of the amp. Why?

    Storage..

    My studio is so small, I have to record drum tracks for 3 or 4 songs, then tear them down and move them out to record the rest of the parts. They'll be put away for about a month. Anything I should do before breaking them down, i.e. loosen the heads, etc??

    Computer Problem

    ... but not my recording computer, it's the kid's computer. When the Power button is pressed, it sounds like a quiet garbage disposer is turned on. There's a few seconds of a light grinding noise, sort of, then it shuts back off. After about 10 attempts or so, it powers up. Hard drive? Power...

    How do you know when you need to replace the heads? Are there indicators, or do they just break?

    Sticks

    I'm using the Vic Firth American Classic Nylon Metal-N's right now to record rock drums. If I were wanting to experiment with a different stick, which stick would it be? And why?

    Hi-Hats

    I noticed that MF and the others sell hi-hat tops and bottoms seperately. Why do they do that? Is it to replace a cracked one, or is it common to use different makes/models for effect? And could someone recommend a step or two up from 14" zbt's. And what benefit could I expect by going with a...

    ADAT, Blackface 4.03

    Head Hours= 0 I had an ADAT in my closet that was serviced, but I ended up buying a computer and an interface while it was in the shop. The service receipt dated 10/18/2000 shows this being done to it: -Cleaned voltage reg trim pot -Set voltage reg -Cleaned heads -Performed system check, unit...

    Drum Triggers

    What will I need to trigger my kick and snare? And I mean everything I will need! I send my drums into a Tascam tm-d1000>RME HDSP 9652>Logic, if it matters.

    Snare Head Recommendations..

    I have a 3" x 13" Pearl Piccolo snare that needs a new head. I put a WeatherKing Coated Ambassador on it when I bought it. It sounded real good. It was time to replace it, and I wanted to try something different(I'm not a drummer, remember?), so I bought an Evans EC on it, and I don't like it...

    Internal Tempo

    Do we each have an internal tempo that we operate on? Some people talk faster than others, walk faster tan others, etc.. I ask because slower tempo songs are harder for me to play, maybe because I'm a hyper fucker, in general. Maybe the more space between beats, the more room to fall out of...

    Recording Cymbals

    I'm recording my drums. I have everything close mic'ed because the room sounds like crap, it's too small and dead. Rather than having stereo overheads, is it feasible to just mic the two crash cymbals? I'll be using 2 Octava mc-012's. If so, tips on placement, please.

    Drum Mic Mounting

    First of all, do they make a clip that will attach a 58 to the rim of a rack tom? Secondly, will I hear a difference from it being on a stand? Any thumping or resonating tones? I am limited on space and when my drums are set up I'm tripping all over shit when I enter my room. Yes, my crappy...

    ...and it might be a stupid one. I have a Tascam tm-d1000 connected to an RME HDSP 9652. I have a tc electronic m300 that has spdif ins & outs. Can I connect the m300 to the 9652 via the breakout cable pictured below, then bus tracks out of Logic, through the m300, and back into Logic? Is...
