Yup .. Moses is right. Its hard to play FAST and SOFT at the same time.

He's rule number 3 I think .... "Hit Harder" ....

hmm, this thread is growing faster then the others ....

Moses, you're the most skilled drummer here based from all your tips and advice you gave, you want to share some drumming links for tips or techniques ?.

I'll move them to the first post for everyone to access ....

Welcome Benjamin_8888i and thaesus

You can talk anything about drum at this thread. You guys can post some pictures of your setup. No shy wan ....

Make sure you guys read this first

Welcome to Musicians topic !!!, Please Read This First Before Posting !!

What brand is that ride ?

I'm not surprised by the price. Even a 20" A Custom Projection Ride cost around Rm9xx.

20" K Custom Dark Ride ? This one ?



For Rm850, it's a good buy somemore brand new

I tried the 16" K Custom Dark Crash before. Very cun crash, has a very dark, dry and trashy overtones.

Byzantine Sultan ?

Is it a brand or a cymbal name ?

I only heard of Paiste, Zildjian and Sabian .....

You might want to off your Caps Lock button.

It's very rude to post everything in big letters

Why so quiet here ? You drummers should be the loudest in this forum man

Yea, it's been very quiet in here knowing that you guys are most noisy member in a band

Most likely I'm going to review some Zildjian Cymbals later in the month or so...... if i can find a shop who allows me to bang on

Ahead drumsticks ? I never heard of them before

I prefer ProMark drumsticks as they are very comfortable and not too heavy and not too light.

Then come up with something interesting for us to talk about.

You're a drummer, so start making some noise

Are you into drums ? As in, have passion for druming or just buy it for the sake of "try try and for fun only"

If you're serious in drumming, i suggest you save like Rm5000 and get a good drum set. You won't regret getting them coz they sound way much different then those entry level drum sets which cost from Rm1500 and up.

Drummer needs to get alot of stuff, the drums, the cymbals and drum hardwares like cymbal stands, snare holder etc etc and this musician is the most expensive of all musicians.

So ask yourself, serious about it or for fun only ?

Before you start buying that drum set, i would advice you to ask this issue first to the management. AFAIK, some (or most) apartment/condo management won't allow its owners certain things into the area ..... one example is pets. People staying in apartment/condo are not allowed to have pets coz they make noise and stuff like that.

another one will be the Telescopes too are not allowed in some apartment/condos.

You don't need to actually read musical notes when playing drums. True, there is musical notes for drums, where its similar to those found in Piano books, but really that complicating. It just tells you, when you're here ... hit the snare and the hi-hat together.

Here's fact, have you seen any drummer who has a musical note in front of them while playing the drums? And you know that drums require your two hands all the time ? So what happens when you need to turn the page ?

In drums, timing is always the number one rule as you're actually the person in the band who maintains the timing and the beat for the rest of your bandmates.
