I was combing the archives on the fiberskyn and I didn't get the info I needed. Doing some market research. What's the closest equivalent to the fiberskyn 3 sound from other manufacturers? I'm pretty sure only remo makes the actual texture of the fiberskyn and no one else does that coating but...

You last visited: 09-05-2010 at 04:51 PM WOAH I haven't been on this place in a while! It's good to be back! HI ALL THE NEW FACES! Hi some of the old ones? You still around? Cheers folks and Happy New Year.

Or as it is known, the Lawrence Eisman Center for Preparatory Music. I was told by a friend to check out their jazz program. Apparently they have some strong teachers there, but I've checked their website and there is little information about it. Anyone with any information regarding this...

In my quest to acquire a good solid jazz cymbal, my eyes turn to Bosphorus. Anyone have any experience and/or review of the Bosphorus Hammer series 22"? I've heard it on their website and it's deliciously gorgeous to my ears... and I found one for relatively cheap and I'm very very tempted to...

Hey there drummers! Long time no see! Been incredibly busy in school lately, so I haven't been around for months. I will make my comeback soon.. but for now, here's a small little (crappy audio due to laptop recording.. bear with it please) clip live from my practice lab in MI. A little...

I need a cymbal. But I've got many limitations. - Cheap budget -$200??? or less... (on a student budget.. go figure) - Primarily a crash, but useable as a second ride - versatile for jazz/pop styles, Suggestions?

Suppose there's a thread out there somewhere, but don't think it addresses my question. I'm looking for a kit (look in the Classifieds thread if you think you can help me out) and I'm considering buying online too. Just before I dive head in to it, any warnings/things I should know about...

Hey Ho drummerworld forum-ers!!! It's been a while! Greeting from Hollywood! Haven't been around here in ages due to school in MI (having loads of fun and learning tons) I've been noticing a problem with my jaw recently.. I seem to have developed a problem with clenching my teeth when I'm...

Is it normal for a China to go potato chip shaped after a while? Mines gone all wobbly looking after some bashing away at it (my first China and it's a cheap one too.. came free with the Meinl pack I bought) And if yes, then how fast do China's normally go potato chip? -KJ

to know the reason why this L R L R L R L R L R L R L R is always easier than this L---L---L---L---L---L---L---L R--R---R--R---R--R---R--R (double stopping or flamming btw) I'm sure there's a scientific reason for this. And I'm just curious to know it.

I don't know if this occurs to you guys. Picture this scenario. You're woodshedding and you've got a new pair of sticks. You start off using them and pretty soon (or much later depending on how quickly you wear sticks) you notice that they've started to wear and tear. One stick has got more...

I looked at my technique today and found out something interesting. I've subconsciously and unintentionally switched to a middle finger fulcrum from an index finger fulcrum in my right hand. I've no idea when I made this switch.. it's just weird. And all my strokes and speed feel completely...

Hey guys! Just started my first day at MI... and I'm AMAZED at how differently they expect you to play than what I've already been hearing and doing almost all my drumming life. I may be wrong on most of them, and it's good to know how it really works, but then again there are just some...

AMERICA HERE I COME! Dear Americans, beware of the impending invasion of KJ Wong! Within the next 48 hours, KJ wong will touch down in LAX for the very first time! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! Gosh... I'm just so excited... beginning my Spring semester in Musicians Institute. Wish me luck...

I feel bad for laughing so much at this. Sorry for any offence lol. I've got kicked out many times of certain 'forming bands' who weren't really gigging yet for the simple fact that I refused to use a double pedal at the time. I just wouldn't play one and when they found out they looked for...

Do you keep a hi hat in the original position? Meaning using 2 sets of hi hats? Or do you use the remote one and to hell with the other one? If so, how in the world are you spose to do 2 handed 16 beat rhythms on the remote hi hat? *this question stumped me to heck when I gave the suggestion...

I'm not talking about drummers that you would like to put up on your wall. I dunno about you guys, but I have this habit of keeping stuff that I've used or broken as medals or trophies or something. Broken sticks, broken skins, cracked cymbals.. I know all of this is junk, but I kinda like to...

Hey all I've encountered a problem with a student of mine. He's learning to play open handed with the hats on the left hand and has gotten accustomed to a rather low hi hat. It's about 2 inches or less above the top of the snare. Now I've started moving to 16 beat rhythms, especially the ones...

I've never seen him play before. I've heard many stories of his drumming but never quite seen a vid. well. here's one and it's pretty cool. Check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoMCGRkQgJY&feature=related

I was recently doing a session with a church camp a couple of days back. It was one of the first times I actually played in a really large hall. I mean really large.. this place was like 10 badminton courts big. The sound was insane and I have to say if it wasn't for the soundman, it would've...
