    Heels up double-bass

    bass drum technique is the most overlooked principal in drumming so i'm glad this heel up question came up..... heel up is the way to go....never use your leg, it's like using your arms while hitting your toms....you'll never be able to play fast or properly... it's easier to get a good...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    thanks a lot for the feedback, and yes i am gonna be doing drum tracking on it (9 mics...for recording at home but live it will only be 4) so i'll need all 10 channels. I was thinking i could just use one of the preamps on my floor tom which i don't use as much as my other toms and run a...

    zildjian release's new ZBX cymbals!

    boo to sabian i've never been a fan of sabian cymbals...sure every now and again i'll hear one that actually sounds good. i mean, some wuhan cymbals, which really are garbage lids sound better than a lot of the lower end sabians. and sure it's a matter of taste, but there are very few sabians...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    well the only reason why i wanted to use the sound card's channels with built in pre amps is because with the extra two pre amped channels........i can record 10 channels simultaniously, which is ideal for what i want to do. so i have 8 1/4" inputs and 2 xlr inputs on the soundcard. How can i...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    i'm not sure if you guys are understanding what i'm saying, but i'm probably not explaining it well either... ok......here's my chain MIC -- MACKIE(through xlr input) --- Soundcard (from insert on mackie, to 1/4" input on soundcard breakbox).... that's it...short and sweet..........sometimes...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    well the thing is i'm using the mixer's preamps (via the insert) to go into the 1/4" jacks on the external breakbox of the soundcard....and i have a Mackie CFX20 so every channel has a preamp, i'm not sure about the stereo channels though....i'll have to check..

    How do you go about improvising?

    i'm not really a guitarist but i think this still applies... when you're trying to recreate a solo or a jam/improv you're not going to unless you got ears to transcribe note for note. each jam/solo whatever you want to call it, is gonna be unique each time. Whenever i take a solo and i'm...

    Did you teach yourself how to play drums?

    well, i don't quite understand, are you saying that the hi hats actually come apart or they're just moving their foot? because if they're moving the hi hats up and down while playing and keeping a closed sound....well then shit i'm stumped.... actually, if you move the hi hat up and down in...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    oh sorry, i didn't mean "mix input" i meant mic. the only deal is, i have a cport dsp 2000 with 8 1/4" inputs and 2 xlr inputs with preamps. and seanmorse79 has this card(mines coming in the mail) and he said the preamps on the card aren't that great. But i want those extra 2 channels to...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    what about when you're going through a mixer and you're using the mixers pres......how do you use an external pre with a mixer? once again...very basic ss also, if you used an external pre on say the mix input on a sound card with built in pres, what will that do

    Why can't all drummers tune their drums?

    oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it's hard tuning drums but i don't think that you can just use a dial that does it for you and expect to get better....maybe use it to learn how to tune maybe.... i have to admit though, i've never used one of these and i'm quite curious as to getting one so i can...

    Did you teach yourself how to play drums?

    one more thing.... pick a drummer, your favorite drummer or your favorite band or something..... BECOME THIS DRUMMER learn everything he does in every situation...learn his music better than he knows it...... then do it better, add something that YOU like and slowly you'll learn everything...

    Did you teach yourself how to play drums?

    self taught is the best way......definately check out videos so you can see the drummers doing it, it makes a lot more sense when you see what they're doing instead of guessing..... you MUST learn rudiments, you're hands will thank you.....i can't stress how much rudiments help your hands and...

    Really Really basic info in PRE'S

    Ok, this may sound stupid but that's what this forum is for..... now, when you plug into a pre, then go through a mixer or a soundcard with pres in it, does it just bypass the built in pres in the mixer and soundcard? And if it doesn't, what's the point? Or maybe i don't know how the chain...

    New Song - "It's OK"

    good job on this tune, i agree with everyone about your nice voice...coming from lots of bands with weak singers i can apreciate a good voice. About the "jazzy" party in the middle, it sounded like it was put there to solo on piano......but i really don't feel like that part fit, nor was it...
