The post about stu's woodshed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It can be really hard to get humor across in writing, but that was great:)

I use my kit to practise on, but i do have a drumpad for the really nerdy stuff;)
I'm also currently considering getting one of those small 6" rubbery pad's so i can have have it with me wherever i go - Now i just drum on the sole (or soul) of my shoe if i cant find anything else to beat - Do you want to see a picture of my shoes, lol?
 
I only have an e-kit right now. I practice on acoustic sets out of the house at friends place or I rent space occasionally ($15/hour including the kit!). I normally run the e-kit into a guitarport, set to "No Amp" and play along with MP3s stored on the PC using the guitar port. It has looping built right in so I can loop pieces of tunes to get through them correctly, and can also play them at half speed for learning. I play this thing at all hours of the night through headphones.. great for practice.

The TV is for watching drum DVDs and for the kids Xbox. My beloved LP is also in the pics. I love her. That classical guitar is a little $100 cheap plywood thing that is my "beater", that amazingly holds it's tune for weeks on end and sounds pretty good.

Here's my world:

James E, where did you get that Vic Firth rudiments poster? I would like one for my room.
 
A friend of mine got it for me, from his drum teacher who is sort of endorsed by Vic Firth or something. It also comes with the Mark Wessels "A Fresh Approach to the Snare Drum" package from Vic Firth. I have that one and the poster is still in the book.

I liked the Groove Essentials poster.I have mine on the wall too ;p
 
Hey guys, here is my practice area. My sister and her boyfriend are always downstairs where my kit is set up, so i had to work around that. I really want to get one of the Vic Firth Rudiment posters, does anyone know where i can get that? Otherwise i might have to copy them all down from the site. Which i cant wait to do.

Works very well for drum practice, band rehearsal,or recording:eek:)
 
here is a DW practice set.

Sometimes I put up the 12" snare from my Yamaha Hip Gig Jr.

I use rutes on the cymbals and a stick in the left hand so I can hear the pads and the cymbals somewhat balanced but I'm going to get the HQ cymbal silencers so I can use regular sticks.

Those are Matador bongos behind the music stand.

When I see photos of drumsets in corners of house or apartment rooms I think "Wow, that must really be loud".

so practice spaces. our garage is over 200 years old hence the broken plaster and junk everywhere but i wouldn't swap it for the world. the walls are 2 FEET THICK!

my kit's a bit of a hybrid. pearl target+ tama starclassic+ sonor, pearl and tama hardware+zildjian and sabian cymbals....?

well now i know the pearl bass drum's backwards but i was dismantling the kit when i remembered to take a pic
this was in one of the sheds on our farm where we had a big gang of people over for my sisters 21'st, long story, in the end gig still kicked ass
