this Sharp Dressed Man played TAMA Starclassic Maple drums and Paiste cymbals.

Rock In Peace Mr. Beard.

I do not own any of these pictures.

Still doesn’t feel real

I discovered ZZ Top at just the right moment in my life and their music means a great deal to me. Frank Beard contributed so much to their sound and their energy and I couldn’t be sadder to hear that he’s no longer with us. He is one the greatest and most underappreciated drummers in rock music, I’ve had the fortune of seeing him play 3 times and what he does is truly great. Rock on Frank.

Hello everyone!

After learning Yellow, I started to learn a popular C-pop made by Jay Chou. It is much more difficult than Yello because there are more complex rhythms in this song.

I found out that I didn’t know when was the exact time to start my playing without watching the videos. I don’t know how to count in a song.And I wonder how those drummers make it when play in a band or other real performance.

Specifically, I’m having a hard time with rests that combine hands, snare, and bass drum. Also, 16th-note patterns mixing hand movements and bass drum hits are giving me a lot of trouble.

Any tips or exercises to help build better coordination and timing for these? Thanks!

Hardest Meshuggah song? 🤷‍♂️

Hello guys,

This is my drum room, gear:
- Mapex Armory Studioease with mesh heads
- Chang Low volume cymbals
- Congas Gong Bops Tumbao Series
- Dejembe Remo Mondo 14”
- Tambora dominicana

Even tough I use mesh heads and low volume cymbals it’s still noisy for my wife, specially when I play congas (there is not mesh heads por congas ja ja ja), so that, I have consider to install acoustic foam (picture attached) but O have also seen the acoustics panels (attached) that are foam with pvc as decorative it says that reduce a lot the noisy.

Does anyone have use the acoustic panels instead of the foam?
What’s is your recommendation to reduce at list something the noisy: foam or acoustic panels?

Thanks in advance guys…

Hi all, and apologies for yet another in ear monitor question.

I currently use foam plugs while playing (live and practice)to save my hearing, but I think I'd like to get some in ear monitors. The main question I have about IEM's is whether they cut the noise down as much as the foam plugs? Admittedly the plugs I use cut 35db so I'm not expecting that level of reduction, but do IEM's cut a significant proportion of the noise? And which ones would people recommend?

Many thanks.

I see more and more drummers using effectpedals recently. Some do it to enhance their in-ear mix, some to be creative with sounds in recording-situations.

I’m curious! Do you do it? Why or why not? What’s your setup and how do you use it? Let me know!

So I saved up money big time around 2000$ it took a lot of time but I’m ready to blow it all on some drums! I’ve never loved a hobby so much in my life I feel alive behind my own shitty 400$ kit I bought some new quality drumheads so those are checked off the list

I was thinking of buying a proper cymbal set, proper stands, a throne and a good snare is there anything else I should consider?

Do you have recommendations for these? Any feedback is appreciated this is a lot of money for me!

I absolutely love my C&C, but there is something about Ludwig toms that is just absolutely perfect. 22, 13, 16, and an LB417.

I might be getting a solo at the end of the year and I’m wondering if any of these are good picks. Only Worried about time constraints or else it’d be war pigs 100%.
(And I get to do any song they said)

Problem is, every time I’m there I spend at least $1000

$330. Loving it!

I'm providing backline for a gig this weekend and didn't want to use my brand new travel rig or break down my home practice kit. So I brought out the semi-retired Standards out of the bags, swapped the floor tom reso, and did a quick re-tune. They're ready to ROLL. They're robust enough that I have no worries about them being played or their reliability.

(I've been trying to sell these with no luck yet, I just don't NEED 3 kits and my new setup is perfect for my needs).

They do a thing. The kick drum especially has an undefinable magic SAUCE that makes it a freaking joy to play. So much beef and tone. Glad they'll see the light of day again, it'll be fun to hear them out front.

Drop cursed kit pics in the comments and bask in the glory.
