I disagree... Whether on the road or in the studio, I think most musicians would want to be able to rent the amps they are used to. The low-budget guys simply will not have enough money to rent a studio for a day or two so the guitarist can figure out what tone he wants to get from some...

The Smithereens had a major hit in the early 90's with "Behind the Wall of Sleep"...great tune...

"Hey Dave...saw you and the Foos on TV the other night...you covered CCR's 'Born on the Bayou' so according to Greg_L you're lame as fuck!" So, if you count the covers he did when he was in Nirvana, Dave Grohl sells more CD's/downloads in what, maybe 13 seconds, than Greg_L has sold in his...

I'm a drummer and I'm in Mensa...but ya gotta be able to laugh at yourself...

A guy walks into a bar and is greeted by the doorman. The doorman explains that the bar wants people to have the opportunity to converse with other like-minded people. The doorman says that in furthurance of this goal, they have several rooms, with a suggested IQ range posted above the door to...

Given a lack of funds for e-drums, I would go along with those suggesting a change in technique... Have your drummer drop down to something like a 7A stick, and, if he can find one, a lambs wool bass drum beater. Have him stuff a blanket or two into the bass drum. And tell him not to hit the...

I don't know...I think the gentleman may simply have limited English skills... But, I think I'm getting his point... They are playing songs originally recorded by other artists, but which would not be familiar to the audiences they normally play to. Given these circumstances, would they be...

And, as usual, a different tack... Why not get something like the Avid Eleven Rack (or one of the other amp sims) and you can dial up whatever amp you need for a specific song? Get something like this and you'll be able to gig with it: Tech 21 Power Engine 60 | Sweetwater.com Might be a few...

While I like the look of the stands diggy_dug recommended, I might be concerned with what appears to be the small size of the top plate, especially if you have a lot of traffic in your room where someone might bump into them or lean on them or whatever. One important note, monitors are...

Taking a completely different tack... Some praise bands/houses of worship have moved to electronic drums to avoid this problem. I don't know if e-drums would fit into the budget, but that is one of the best ways to solve the problem...

Always Pro-Mark oak, for as far back as I can remember, which was when Rock Knockers first came out ('71, '72 ?). Since then have used Rock Knockers, sometimes with a nylon-tip 5A when I wanted to do some delicate cymbal work. I still sometimes use Rock Knockers, although I have been trying...

Begs the question... Since there are not enough differences among all of the speakers out there that can't be compensated for with tone controls, why don't we just decide on only one that all of us will recommend? Should cut down on some of the contentiousness here...

Given that from the original post we didn't know if these are active or passive monitors...

As was noted in other posts... "The best way to get actual fans is to play gigs and push a website to your followers." This was as important for the Rolling Stones and The Beatles (except for the website bit) as it is for a contemporary band seeking commercial success. Of course there is one...

The NanoVerb should work, but if you can spare another $60 US you would be better served by the Alesis MicroVerb 4: Alesis MicroVerb 4 | Sweetwater.com The NanoVerb is geared more toward guitarists, while the MicroVerb is more of a general-purpose unit. In use, you would connect the "FX Send"...

Given that you also want to use the software to play live, if I were you I would take a look at Ableton Live. I had a "lite" version of it that came with Pro Tools, and while I didn't really learn how to use it, I did play with it a bit. From my limited experience with it, I could see that...

Behringer AMP800 Ultra Compact 4 Channel Stereo Headphone Amplifier Right string...wrong yo-yo... Here's what ya need: Buy Behringer MON800 MiniMON Stereo Monitor Matrix Mixer | Headphone Amplifiers | Musician's Friend

Now that we are finally back to the fact that the guys has a 4' x 4' x 6.5' booth that is covered with foam on the inside... That is what you have. That is all you have. So perhaps more here could do as a few here seem to be trying to do and offer suggestions as to how make what he has better...

I have a hole in my bass drum head, carefully placed by a drum technician at the 8:00 position cause that's where it looks cool...

Just don't buy something from a heavy metal dude who lives where it gets really cold... (And if you're a drummer and don't know why, you're not a drummer, you're just somebody who bangs on drums)
