He's saying his shoe size Hooray I'm getting some new cymbals for my birthday! I got to pick them and then mum bought em for me They're Zildjian Planet Z cymbals, I got a Crash, Hi-Hat and Ride I was originally intending on getting ZBT's but these were almost a third of the price and I liked the sound of them. So ZBT's will be next Now I just need decent drums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ZBT's will be next For good reason. But if you like the sound, more power to ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdrummer Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 When you see a drumming vid on youtube , which angle do you prefer? Looking from the front, drivers seat, or overhead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toff Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Overhead IMO. Gives a clearer view of what your actually doing, which, if you need it, can help people give you more advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zilcho Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Overhead and slightly behind the drummer in case they're pulling annoying faces you don't want to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah overhead, definitely. Nice cymbals from above^^^ *hearts* :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I've been playing the drums in the premature ejaculators and could do with some tips from actual drummers (I'm a bassist really, can't afford drum lessons). I struggle with: 1. lower back pain 2. my left hand is retarded compared to my right 3. I get cramp in my calves from kicking 4. I get fucking knackered playing the drums! Also anwhere you can buy 2nd hand cymbals on the net? Mine are all broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adi Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 3. I get cramp in my calves from kicking Sit a bit further away from the kit so your legs are on a bit of an angle(not too much though). You calves might be getting sore because you're too close to the kit. Also, try playing with or without shoes (whichever you havn't done). No shoes works for me... I feel alot more comfortable. Might not help the cramps, but will make you feel more comfortable. Whatever's good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I play with and without shoes, sitting unusually high on the stool, with the centre of the stool around 2 feet from the kick drum. Is that too close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyke Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah overhead, definitely. Nice cymbals from above^^^ *hearts* :] Thanks I've been playing the drums in the premature ejaculators and could do with some tips from actual drummers (I'm a bassist really, can't afford drum lessons).

Also anwhere you can buy 2nd hand cymbals on the net? Mine are all broken. Ebay... 1. How are you sitting? 2. Unless you mean it's pwopa retarded then it'll improve don't worry. 3. As Adi said sit away from kit, How far away depends on your leg length I guess. 4. Eventually you'll get used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lpdrummer Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 "Currently, this item is only available in the U.K." Just a tad smaller than my Zildjian Super 5as. I'll have to give them a try if I can get some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa_ Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Dom Howard Autograph Model sticks by Pro-Mark! W00p! About time... I wonder if he uses them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Pro-Mark are clearly the best sticks. I don't know why other brands even exist. I want the TX3RW Peter Criss models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 About time... I wonder if he uses them? Doubt it. I worked with chad smith the other week and he doesnt use the "chad signature" sticks! lol Pro-Mark are clearly the best sticks. I don't know why other brands even exist. I want the TX3RW Peter Criss models. Yeah Ive used them all and i prefer pro-mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAM Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) I do sound engineering and I was on the crew at the London International Music Show I ended up micing various drum kits - at one point we had 8 kits on stage being played at the same time! That was a mission! lol Throughout the day I was in charge of a seminar room and in the evening I was on the main drum stage. I even got the opportunity to soundcheck Steve White's drum kit (Paul Wellers Drummer) and I was the last one out of the 8 kits and afterwards I had randomers come up to me and tell me how well I played and that I 'out-drummed professional drum techs'! :D But yeah Chad Smith was there and I had a chat with him... (horrible photo - was shattered by the third day! lol ) and heres me with Ian Matthews (Kasabian) I chatted to him about Dom! lol Cuz theyre supporting Muse at Dublin. He was quite excited to be playing with them! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bzFIXtrpDjw Here's my video of Chad Smith playing - I was side stage and at the end he had dropped all of his sticks (Vic Firth 2B's btw, not Chad Smith signature sticks ) and he looked over to us to pick them up for him! lol But yeah was awesome! Got to meet loads of top musicians! Got free catering, AAA pass and 'hung out' with all the stars. Got to go to the aftershow party where Chad smith came out and had a fag with us (I dont smoke - i was out with smokers tho) I chatted to Ray Luzier (Korn) about paninnis at one point!! and when you think "Korn" you think "DEAAATTTHHHH" But he was a really nice guy! haha But yeah - was awesome (Video of Ian Matthews soundchecking) Edited August 2, 2008 by ADAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 That's epic cool. Yeah, to expand on the Pro-Mark thing, having used pretty much every brand of stick there is, I have found Pro-Marks to be consistently the most durable, lightest, straightest, balanced and best sized sticks available. The last point is a taste issue but the rest are fact. Fact: Pro-Mark > other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adi Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I play with and without shoes, sitting unusually high on the stool, with the centre of the stool around 2 feet from the kick drum. Is that too close? Depends on how tall you are, like someone said. Maybe try lowering the stool?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
