Yes, Theodores talent would be shot to hell if he used double bass.

I'm pretty sure he'd kick ass on whatever equipment he chose to use.

 

How I feel about double bass is MY opinion, it cannot be debated and it cannot be disproved. I couldn't care less what the PDFers think on the matter, this is my opinion and it is not subject to repeal by popular opinion. I don't care that you raised this topic on another forum, I care that you think their opinions, for or against, will invalidate mine. Fuck it, I just don't care at all. You did it, you "disprooved" [sic] what somebody else thinks. :rolleyes:

 

Um... I'm sure you can guess

Then start a petition and try to get me banned but, for gods sake, don't get any of whatever it is you've got on me.

 

So Niles, how was your day?

Got my new drums, new sticks, new heads, new hardware and O-Week starts next week. So fecking brilliant. You?

Oh, I don't disagree with that. I was being sarcastic.

 

And thats fine. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Thats what makes the world different. I am not necessarily trying to change your opinion, just pointing out how closed-minded it is. I don't think others opinions will invalidate yours - rather I hope to shed new light so your opinion can be better formed.

Just leave it alone. It's not close-minded, it's being opinionated.

Yeah, do.

Digital kit cymbal pad broke. So whereas I actually wanted to get a new one I now have to send one back to get fixed and THEN get a new one....its all going a bit tits up - but in the long run i'll be happy. So at the moment im sorta 'meh' feeling, but in a few weeks (when thomann respond) ill be 'wheey' again! :LOL:

the last 30 seconds of your solo really impressed me - good work

Cool, indeed. That first pic on the "The Man" page is great, he looks as though he uses the same sticks as me, too, Pro-Mark 747Ws. Q: What's "Buchler 200E"?

 

If I may make some suggestions, his drums aren't really deep at all, the floors and bass are standard sizes with the rack being at that shortest end of what's common. IMO these are deep toms:

For OoS the splash was an 8" A Custom, not A, and playing ghost notes and pedalling the hats is not really a jazz influence, it's very common (I can't think of a drummer that doesn't do those things).

Downloading now. EDIT: Nice KC ride.

That's leading with the right hand.

*first YT vid*

Dont you HATE it when your bass pedal gets stuck in your trousers! I wanna know the pro's secret! I either wear trousers that have a toggle at the bottom (put my foot through it and use it as an elastci band) or actually get a REAL elastic band and put it around the bottom of my trousers OR tuck my trousers into my sock. Either way I look stupid walking onstage with a trouser leg tucked in! :LOL:

Oh ok - you're right - I knew they werent 'deep' as in that picture! haha but I always thought that they were heading for the bigger end of drums. Eg. rock and fusion drum bags. They're the two main set up 'sizes' catering for the 2 most popular drum sizes. Yet doms bass drum wont fit into them - its deeper than the average bass drum.....and the same with the toms.

 

So no theyre not 'deep' as such - but theyre bigger than average...guess an edit is required! :D

 

thatd be the Buchla 200E modular synthesiser

 

its the thing he plays with during TaB live

 

:yesey: Trying to find pics of it lol

 

and whilst im here - bit of shameless promotion....new muse drumming vids! :D

My dad may still have his bicycle clips around if you are interested in borrowing them.

 

Maybe that was the original reason for the infamous Red Hot Chili Pepper gig where they played naked except for a strategically placed sock...to avoid instrument / clothing tangle related problems.... I'm not suggesting anything Adam but hell....it may just add that something extra to your next youtube drum vids :D

 

Nice new vids by the way...getting more adventurous in the directing stakes as well...keep em coming.
