What's your budget. For a room mic; spend a lot. For a whole close mic set up... Spend even more ;) I have a 10 piece mic set up going on 11 to cover the ride. Thank god for sm57's because I would be about $2000 into it instead of $1000 :D

The new wave I think if you play to a click they help also. ;) Watch out though,if you put them in your car you may wreck :D

So True Yes, with the mix ...but I guess you have to hear it live first. :p

Mics I would say that Mics are the most important thing!! I spent 4 months before getting new mic's. The difference is amazing! :)

Buttkicker This is a replacement for 18" monitors ripping every thing you have to listen to music! It's better to use a trigger with this. I have felt this and it's AWESOME!!! watch out for the 1000 watt, it will give you the big "O" :D

Export I bought a export snare and was suprised with the quality for a cheap snare. I'm keen on marching snares as far as sound goes.I love a crisp sound with an ear cracking rim shot. If I could put a marching snare on my kit I would, but it wouldn't sound right. :D

Overheads I think the basic setup is a bass mic and two overheads. Then comes close micing. Overheads are mainly to pick up the crashes and ride/hihats.with a little toms. Snare comes through no matter what...

I'm courious of the different snares that people like. I prefer wood. My friend is looking into the new Pearl 20 ply.....Now thats insane. :p I've played on a copper freefloater and loved it. :cool:

Nice Job My computer speakers actually were bumping!!! :D

Great Advice! I have over the years gotten used to tuning by feel. If you play around you can figure how one lug can bend the pitch so it's flat. Try to keep all lugs the same tension, but go around again by feel and see if you can get more sustain. I prefer to tune the top head a little...

Thats great! however I've experienced that curls can slow you down. Make sure that you stretch out good! The best workout for chops I feel is doubles, big stick heights for as long as you can go without buzzing, ;) Then go to single srokes :D

Buddy Rich Buddy was Born to play drums. Thank God for his inspiration to all of us.

The Hardest lesson in life Thats Awesome! I remembered Scott Rockenfield saying how he took a break to work on more of the video aspect.When he came back 6 months later,He was fresh. I did this in a part of my life and it was like starting all over again. The things I was working on slowly...

Pearl I quite agree! Especially when they come in different sizes and their on clamps!!!!! :mad: I wish I still had the other bass :p

New Kit When you start out, make sure you learn control before you speed up. When playing on the actual head It will be quite something to get used to. Try to play as much in the center of the head as you can. GOOD LUCK :)

My question is, where would you put it???? :eek:

I went from plastic to wood beaters... What mic are you using?

Cheezes!!!!! Inverted 5's..... I'm all over that,except where does the accent go? :p I love Rob Carsens book on International rudiments!!!! I started learning the old school style back when the accent was supposed to look like this v rather than this >.WHOA :confused: :o :)

Oh so many ways How many paradidle variations can you play? :p And Flams!!!! :eek:

I Know Nothing How does the Pearl Mastersworks compare? Or does it.
