That was spooky - psted at the same time with very similar info! You must be my long lost twin rabbit or something. :D

1965? Didn't know they made chrome until the early 70s, but I'm no expert on the subject. However, I have a 1967 Blue Sparkle Ludwig kit and the date is stamped on the shell inside the bass drum. Have a look there. Maybe also go to the forum on drummerworld and ask the same question...

Yep, that's what I meant - even tuning across the head. Sorry if it wasn't clear. I think I tried matching the pitch of both top and bottom heads on a snare once and it rang forever. Not very useful in most situations. Nick- I checked out your drum clip a few days ago. It sounds like you're...

IMHO- cymbals cast from a mold sound and feel MUCH better than cymbals that are stamped from a large sheet. In your price range I would suggest the Sabian XS20 Cymbal pack. I bought a set for my nephew a few years ago and they were perfect for his situation - advancing from beginner to...

Phew! That's good to hear. You had me worried for a second there :rolleyes: I was thinking to myself what a pefect little practice rig but without a metronome, How Silly can he Bee? :D PS- LOVE your new avatar! Every song on that album is awesome, well, with the exception of "Casual...

your missing something! Dude, without a metronome, your set up is incomplete. :(

Thank you gentlemen! I guess I should've used the search function. All the best, Rez

I would start by checking the condition of the reso head - it might need to be replaced if it's old and has been stretched. Then check for even tuning on both heads. What head is on the batter side? Sometimes the Panther needs a little taming - especially when cranked real tight, and it that...

IMO, the one that stands out in that list is the Pro 37. I'm pretty familiar with that mic and always had good results with it. For snare mic options, the SM57 is a true workhorse and if it's not doing it for you, it's probably not the mic. With that said, do a search for the Audix i5. I've...

I have a few snares for different things, but the one that is the most versatile in my arsenal is the Mapex Black Panther black chrome model (14x5.5). This one clearly handles most types of music and consistently sounds stellar. Cheers, Rez

For those of you who own a real piano, I was wondering if you could tell me the height from the floor to the white keys. I'm trying to lower my keyboard stand so it is close to the typical height of a real piano. Thanks, Rez

Very interesting, albiet a little confusing. Are they saying that once the audio is spit back down the Digital to Analog path, there "is" no difference? Well that's just the world of Redbook CDs I guess. In my humble experience: I began recording @ 48k back in 2000 b/c I needed to sync with...

Wow dude I just checked out the cascade site - tnx 4 the link! I've been researching ribbons for a few months and these look like a good place to start my ribbon collection. It's either the Fathead II pair or an Avant CR-14. All I know is Avant one. :D Get it? Avant a new microphone? Hello? Is...

Well, this looks promising: http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2007/Avant-Electronics-Avantone-Microphone.html Anyone have any experience with Avant? The shock mounts and shells look identical to some of the Peluso mics: http://www.pelusomicrophonelab.com/ I don't know what Avants have...

For SX3 the Tempo Track info starts with Chapter 25 pg. 615 in the Operation Manual. For recording your files to an exteranl drive, start with Operations (5-105). Basically when you start a new project from a Template, a dialog box appears asking where you want to save the audio files. Navigate...

Just to update SouthSIDE Glen's info from May 07- Apogee just released the Apogee Duet for $500. This replaces the mini-me and is well worth looking into. Cheers, Rez

Yes all of that is possible in Cubase. For Tempo changes, you'll need to learn how to use the Tempo track. You can easily draw an in point at 60bpm and an out point at 300bpm. It's all in the manual - which version of Cubase are you using? You set which drive you use in the Project setup...

Well my suggestions are usually based on what kind of room(s) you'll be recording in, but I basically suggest you check these out: Josephson C42s Avenson STO-1s Peluso CEMC6s AT4050s Shure SM81s All well within your budget. All depends on your needs. Do some research on the Internet and read...

Hey Zed, yeah I was self-taught too. I'm a left-handed player but now after all these years I'm trying to learn how to play right-handed. Very tricky. Only wish videos like these were around when I was first learning to play. There are more clips here...

I finally got a chance last night to pick up a copy of this new DVD: Jojo Mayer: Secret Weapons for the Modern Drummer http://www.hudsonmusic.com/products/mayer_secret-weapons.html I only had time to watch the first 1/2 hour so far but I'll tell you this: It's probably one of the most...
