The fibreglass thing?

Also known as a drum screen.


Please quote me the price, thanks.

Well that's why, as isaac said, you've gotta wear hearing protection when you're in it - or in-ear monitors to hear everyone else. Our church here has one - almost fully enclosed, with a roof! a roof!, and it's an absolute  to play in - gets very hot, noisy, and you have absolutely no chemistry with any of the other instruments in the band at all, which is horrible. They only got it so their precious sound people would be able to mic the drums more easily, and not have to worry about the drum sound being picked up by other mics... which is what creates atmosphere. Sorry, went on a bit of a rant there. I really hate the bloody thing.

Very true, although if the studio's small I tend just to play a bit quieter and go without earplugs. I'd personally never 'just follow the bassist' as I like to react to what the guitars and vocals are doing, but that's just me. I am glad that everyone's using hearing protection, though! I learned almost too late...

well, my youth group plan to get a drum set, which electronic drum/acoustic you will recommend?

Well that's why you can hear everything you play, in the maximum sound inside as possible.

Something like an isolator? And protection so that if someone threw a stone it wont hit your drums.

Oh and btw, how the drum shield look like at the back? Is it empty? How's the entrance.

I don't think any of us use Starclassic xD
Anyway, I'm playing at Jalan Tunku on Tuesday, some kind of party. xD I haven't met the band I'm playing with, cause I just got hired yesterday. Damn rush. Not bad pay wei, RM200 for 3-4 songs.

Can lah Its all the classic songs (which I don't listen too But shouldn't be a problem )
I could get it discounted, new if you want.
10 into twelve, no problem, 12 into 13, may be a bit tight log, unless you're removing all the lugs?

Okay But remember to put something soft, some kind of padding yaa.

I'm planning on buying 10 pairs of Tama Power Tools sticks, Jap Oak, 7A. Anyone wanna split the cost with me?

RM30 retail. If we get ten, then its RM240, discounted. So RM120 for 5 pairs. 5 for you, and 5 for me

There are 2 possible thing. Sometimes, it is the problem of the hi-hat itself. I had played on lousy hi-hats before, and it sucks. The sound produced is terrible, and you ain't going to develop feeling by playing those lousy hi-hats.

Try to adjust your hi-hat.. Make it "flexible", so that the sound of the hi-hat sounds crispier, and more treble.

Another thing, try to time the hit. It is not gonna happen in 1-2 days. Give some patience in trying to hit it correctly. Best method is to hit at a slow rate, like 60-70 BPS. That way, you can know how to hit it, and time the hit accurately.

Other than that, the left foot really need some real exercise and training. I have got no doubts in this. It also applies to the left hand as well. If your left hand could not move as fast as your right hand could do, you will have a real "big time" doing x16, or x32 rolls.

And the method to repair this weakness it to practice on para-diddles, and then single stroke ( 1/2 using the whole arm, 1/2 using the wrist, I called it up and downs). Means when you want to hit the hi-hat 8 times, your arm only move up and down 4 times only, and your wrist move 4 times, total = 8 times. Kinda hard to explain this here, but if you know what i mean, then that is great.

Hi guys..i'm new here...
was wondering where can i get a 2nd hand Roland e-drums with mesh heads?..and how much would that be...
