    Gibson vs Everyone

    Yes H2H, I remember those guitars. My whole point is this. If all a company has to do is go to court and say "so and so other company is building a widget that looks kinda sorta like mine, and I want them to stop because it takes money from my pocket" then theres a problem with both the legal...

    Gibson vs Everyone

    just because people spend excessive amounts of money for antiquated consumer objects after waiting in line for them does not make said objects innovative. This speaks more towards the fashion consciousness of the buyers, especially in the case of H-D. And the association of H-D and Gibson is...

    Gibson vs Everyone

    Capitalist litigiousness of the highest order. I think the court was wrong. The guy who said that experienced players would mistake a PRS single cut for an LP is a buffoon. Obviously, he does'nt play. He'd probably think an Ibanez RG was a strat too. When will we start seeing suits over guitars...

    14 inch rockstar snare tune

    I use a Remo EmporerX tuned really tight. As in tuned so you can hear glue cracking. I tune the snare side a bit lower than the batter. Dry, with no real ring at all. And loud.

    2 rides in a setup! NO crash! Sound good?

    You know, riding a crash works sometimes too. If you have a light touch, or hit the bell, you can ride the crash to avoid that too consistent sound of your single large ride. Just a thought.

    Which Sticks Do You Use?

    Vic Firth 7a's mainly. Sometimes a 5a, depending on if I'm pissed or not. I have some of those cool rods and, man are they light. They do cut down the volume though.

    Kick/Bass Drum Tuning...

    I have the same kit. I have'nt changed the kick head yet though, so I'm sure mine will sound different than yours. When I got mine, it was really boomy, and I like it a bit drier than what it was. What I did with mine was this. I took a piece of upholstery foam about an inch and a half thick...

    Intonation Problem?

    editor... I did'nt mean to hijack your thread. That was never my intention. I just wanted to pose a question on a subject that has been bugging me. Again, I apologize. Light.... I mean no disrespect to you either. That said, How do you equate a 200$ or whatever price knockoff strat to your car...

    Intonation Problem?

    My point was that the reason people come here is to learn. Directing someone to the local shop because you own one, and think you're doing someone a favor by telling them to throw money at a simple problem is not a favor at all. A bit of reading, and some clarification by people who know will...

    Intonation Problem?

    Light.... I thought that this place was here so people could learn about what they are doing with their instruments, recording hardware and software, and all that. It seems like every time someone has a problem with a guitar, rather than giving them advice on how to fix the problem themselves...

    Building drums

    Building drums is not the easiest thing to do. And it can be expensive, depending on what shells you use and if you ruin something in the process. The biggest considerations are having bearing edges cut, drilling the holes for the hardware, and making sure those bearing edges are absolutely...

    Busting strings, then they settle down...

    Where on the string is it breaking? What I mean is, is it breaking at the bridge, the nut, or at random places along the string length? This will tell you alot about whats going on.

    Has anybody ever had the pleasure of playing orange county drums??

    Is this place going to turn into the Pearl Drummers forum where everyone goes gaga over OCDP and that guy from Slipknot? Jeez, I hope not.

    "Real" drum sounds without a drum kit

    I'd be interested to know myself. I am a drummer, but my skills with cakewalk are not what they could be. So, if someone knows about this, by all means ...........

    guitar recording for heavy metal riffs

    get 4 or 5 sennheiser 421s and put them about 10-12 inches away from the cab, and maybe a couple ribbons off in the room.

    Edirol PCR-50 or M-Audio Radium 61?

    I think I would have liked the extra keys, but for what I do, which is all recording into Cakewalk, the 49 key is fine. Its easy enough to push a button and move the octave up or down, and I have plenty of space for multiple tracks on my hard drive. So, as far as it being limiting for me, I'd...
