If acoustics set, you can get quite a decent kit for 3k. Depends if you're wiling to go for 2nd hand.

Actually starting on e-kit is not bad in my opinion. If you're not going professional and playing just for fun, you can treat it as an electronic drum rather than thinking that its an acoustic drum. Even if you plan to go further into acoustics later, starting on ekit gives you the basic of drumming and then later when you change to acoustics, you just need to adjust to the acoustics which is not difficult if you already practiced on ekit.

Also there are acoustic-electronic hybrid kit but its complicated for beginners.

true true.. the main weakness of e drum is the cymbal

If buy silence pad it wont serve the purpose anymore.. u also wont get the true sound of the cymbal and alot of cymbal works reduce..

yeah very true. No use getting acoustics because people say its better and shit then u cant play it at all.

I also wonder do you guys all live in bungalow? Because living in small neighbourhood sure got problem play drums 1 how u all handle the playing? also wif family sure problem.

during daytime ppl dun mind? Also when hit the crash and other loud stuff actually the next door can hear u or not?

wow that sucks.. behind your house oso can hear u...

your neigbourhood peaceful ppl except u

where u test the pearl e pro? expensive?

u can change it to acoustic right?

hi pros (particularly isaacmiranda, boner, bomb, treflip, franklooi and others)

How do u play triplet bass beat on the kick then eighth note on the hi hat? The coordination like veyr weird not sure the middle truplet note shud be where...

Can teach?

yeah i can teach u.. im also working on my doubles..

the tips is just practice at the tempo u can do consistently

when u play normal kick, what technique do u use? Stick with that first. The other tecniques like heel toe and stuff is great but will only confuse you if u think about it too much at beginning stage..

heel up means your heel wont be touching pedal. U mean then u lower your heel then it will pain?

Weird because heel up u play with your whole leg. Unless you take up your heel and play with your ankle part only. Thats a different technique when ppl go very hgh speeds.

Dont try to go fast first. Try to be consistent with your double bass. No use able to play fast but not in tempo.

Ya something like that but the hand is doing 8th notes on the hi hat. How do you coordinate a triplet on the feet with eighth note on the hat. The triplet cant even with the eigth note duno where the middle note of triplet shud be.


Ya but how do i do it?

Ya but i mean mean in triplet u wil count as --> tri - pe - let ...

Then eighth notes u will count as --> 1 + ...

The 'tri' will hit the same time as '1'

then 'let' will hit somewhere after '+'

the question is 'pe' i shud hit before the '+' of after?

no i mean quarter note triplet on the kick

with eighth note on the hi hat?

i know its very weird combination thats why asking..

True.. actually i use heels up also and my heel is not 30 degree of 45 but actually quite close to the ground. However ;lately i got this pain on the top part of my right foot not sure if its link to my technique

Added on January 11, 2011, 10:42 amKick 4 times in a sec sounds doable... but try doing it consistently for 1 min.. unless youre doing it only for 1 sec

pedal got leg? Shudnt it be stand only got leg?

can u pla 220bpm 16th on one foot liek boner?
His 1 leg is faster than me using 2 legs..


and i thnk he calculated wrongly.. he said 4 kicks in a sec but if 16th on one foot 220bpm would be around 14 kicks in one second wif his right foot.

ahh.. i misunderstand sorry

when i ask 16th notes then your post is next i thought u mean 16 notes 220 bpm wif 1 foot lol
