Hey, do you suppose I can bring my Tama 80s Imperialstar Snare along? I have full intention to sell/trade it away in favour of a Mahogany/Birchwood shell snare.

If you're from Petaling Jaya/Kuala Lumpur, let me know if you need a good drum teacher. I have good contacts around PJ/KL for drum lessons.

last night was a weird night...was at a gig...then a dude (a drummer) who was suppose to perform after me came up to me and starting to talk big and advise me about stroking and control...skali when i see him play he is as sucky as a one day old noob drummer and his stroke is even worst and has no groove at all!! if he was some big shot known highly skilled and highly groovy drummer i would accept and take in his advise with arms wide open...but (not too brag, but im just feeling furious) if he is 1000000 times worst then me and ada hati nak berlagak and advise me hahahaha he can go to hell!! i just hate a noob who has been playing only for like a year plus or so but act as if he is all that and he knows everything...a friendly reminder...there alot of such people out there...last night was may be my 100th encounter and that was my limit...i need to express this out...im sorry guys for making u guys listen to my ramblings about such drummers/musicians....

I know alot of drummers that are great personally, I also know that NONE of them will suddenly come up to you and tell you off regarding your playing skills or attempt to show off - especially in a public area. Some of them will share with you generously about their experience, knowledge and techniques provided you ask the right questions and show some sincerity thumbup.gif

skip around to 3.49++
is the drummer using an effect or sumthing? delay?
is that even possible lol sweat.gif ?

Perfectly possible, it's just tone and dynamic control - Which I dare say most non-profesional drummers don't emphasize on these days...

exactly bro!! this one was one kind...he wants to talk about strokes and shit but couldnt keep a constant stroke in each backbeat in one verse..lol!! and i didnt even approach him or anything to ask about his little 'knowledge' hehehehehe

IMHO, you keep your comments to yourself unless somebody WANTS to know what you personally feel about it. Especially in the music "scene" where reputation makes/kills your career

That's the problem with my fellow fledgling drummers these days, lack of basics and core foundations. Simple things such as dynamic controls, accents and musical groove is being neglected in favour of technicalities and sophisticated/showy skills...

Learning music is like martial arts, you gotta build up the core strengths necessary before moving on to the "interesting" stuffs. Unfortunately, technology and internet has destroyed our patience towards things like this....it's a dying art really...

which ones are economical and yet nice sounding?

Go downtown to Kuala Lumpur and visit JS music, browse through their Stagg Hi-hats. Those are economic and sound great for beginners to intermediate level drummers. If you are still unsatisfied with their prices then let me know after visiting their shop in Imbi.

u mean Ultimate music in Sri Hartamas get to try out the cymbals? After try compulsory to buy or not?

Yeah la! I'm sure the shop owners and workers are smart enough to tell if it's an amateur/window shopper asking to tryout the cymbals. Especially since they're high-class cymbals.

You sir, are a genius! Lots of drummers I know rely on cymbals and more gear to get the job done....some of them haven't even got their mentality and basics set in the right way yet!

Just saw Jerry Felix playing with his band in PJ 2 days ago, it's THE SHIT man! Groove control and nonstop variations of bossanova, soul and jazz beats.

I think for exam based courses you would  have to go to Yamaha or Bentleys around your area. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are prepared to spend RM1000 per year on lessons, visit Yamaha or Trinity for the lessons.

If you need to learn it on low budget, I can offer some alternative teachers within the Petaling Jaya and Damansara region.

Both are nearby my area. Are they the same? I mean which one is better?
Trinity? hmm.gif  I'm never heard of it. If Trinity College I know.. Yea, as I know, about RM450+- every three months. I prefer the exam based one as I can proceed grade by grade. I wish to teach in the future so I think exam based class is better for me. Correct me if I'm wrong. smile.gif

It's good, you've set a goal and made your purpose of learning drums clear already. Go and talk to the yamaha/trinity grade schools then ^^
If you have any more problems about playing drums, come over and drop a post or a PM.

May I know where is Trinity school?  sweat.gif One more question, how long does it normally take to proceed one grade?

Google is your best friend, PLEASE use it to find the answers to your questions.

I took 2 months to proceed to Grade 1 from beginner level, IsaacMiranda is right. It all depends on the discipline, commitment and effort you put in.

yeah i know a real drummer needs to know how to play them. So the school teaches all drumming style? Example start with rock drumming then grade 2 go to Jazz drumming and so on?

I think not so good like that since evry style have their own level of difficulty
*
I don't think there's any need to call them "Real Drummers". But....to be fair, there are quite a LOT of posers out there who claim they can play drums but don't understand the technicality, groove and fundamental skills required for the art.

Grade school teaches you step-by-step, it is a great place to develop basics, fundamentals and technicality of drumming. Expect yourself to be a great drummer within 8 to 10 years of learning under the Yamaha/Trinity syllabus.

Practical teachers (Who walk the talk) will teach from their experience which is very, very valuable to students willing to learn. They may not have the great technical skills, but their groove - honed from the practice and performances with real musicians in the "Scene" is not to be underestimated.

My suggestion(s):

Fast Learners - Learn from Practical Teachers
Slow Learners - Learn from Yamaha/Trinity schools
Smart Learner - Take 2-3 months lesson from both and make your own decision!

constant , consistent double kick - now that's difficult
but any genre has its own difficulties

I very much agree, you cannot imagine the number of musicians (especially drummers) who underestimate a simple Blue shuffle beat which requires extreme dynamic control and consistent playing in the Hi-Hat and Snare when performing in acoustic setting!

hello, I just want to ask opinion. What brand/model of drum can I get with budget below 4k? Can i get U.S made with my budget?  I'm planning to buy only the tom, floor tom and bass drum with all the hardware since I've already have snare, cymbals n my own pedal.
*
If that's the case, you should be looking for a basic 4 or 5 piece drumset (2-3 tom-toms, 1 floor tom, 1 kick drum).

In the end, it's not where it's made that counts. Most US based companies have them "Assembled" in their country but "Produced" in Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Korea etc.

Talk to IsaacMiranda, he can recommend you the good stuff within your budget.

There are just some things which can't be compared to the original when we put it to the test. happy.gif
