I am here for the first time and I want to discuss several topics about drums. I know that I sound little bit scrupulous, but I think that it's important to think about every detail because sometimes it can influence all sound.
So, I found some options here: http://barkingdrum.com/best-drum-heads-review-2015/
What do you think - which is the best one? Maybe there is something that you have been used.

I am looking forward for any answer ]]>

My name is Sam and I am offering a remote drum tracking service.

For a small price I can record you a top notch live drum track for your demo or other project.

Get in touch with me if:

You're looking for a new drummer before you record a demo - I can add live drums to your tracks so you can use them to find a new drummer.

You're SICK of soulless MIDI drum tracks or working with samples.

Check out examples of my playing at http://www.sambachelldrums.com

All styles covered with a specialty in Funk/jazz and general groove based genres.

How it works: Drop me an email with a few details about your track and an MP3 of the track with drums if you have a particular idea for how you want the track to sound or without drums if you want me to come up with a part.

I'll do a version or two and a basic mix of the drum parts and send it back to you. If you're happy then you pay me the agreed fee via paypal or bank transfer and I send you the unprocessed stems of my recording session to mix and process as you see fit. Once payment is made, there are no royalties, no hassle and no fuss, just a great sounding drum track for your project.

"Dribble Foot". Dribble foot is my term for unintended kick drum rumble. This usually occurs from the following: When a drummer plays the kick drum and lets the beater rest against the head, thus the beater rides the rest of the drum resonance and bounces against the head, or when a drummer leaves the beater on the head and keeps time or subdivisions of time lightly with their foot. The resulting low end rumble causes a lack of clarity in the bass region. This lack of clarity will most likely end up in a reduction of low end in a live mix as the live sound engineer franticly tries to "clean up the mud". Alternatively In the recording studio, the bill gets higher as the savvy audio engineer tries to clean the mud by editing out the offending dribbles. And this is a LOT of editing! So as a concerned "music citizen" I offer this advise: When playing a kick drum....."Hit it and Quit it"...... No, not the groupies, the kick drum. he he]]> OK, so whilst I'm addressing the drumming community, I may as well add my other drumming concern.... "Dribble Foot".

Woods are used and/or combined to create consistant tone and volume. So consistancy is a good thing. Imagine a guitar having an "A" string that is overwhelmingly loud, that guitar would be on the repair bench in a heartbeat. Then why, oh why do some drummers develop a techinique of constenty using rimshots on a snare. This technique throws the drum kit out of balance. A rim shot is striking the skin and the rim of the drum at the same time. This produces a loud sound and is great for coloring up a fill or accenting a hit. But the constant use of rimshots creates problems in recording and to a lessor extent in live sound. In recording, mics are used to capture the sound of the kit from above, these are known as "overheads" and mics can also be placed further out in the room, these are known as room mics. When a snare is too loud, these mics need to be turned down or compressed to achieve a balanced drumsound. The result is a drum sound that has too little cymbles from the overheads or ,with compression, a drum sound with a super squished snare with no snap. In addition to this problem, rimshots in my opinion sound thin, piercing and don't sit well in a mix. Now, I realize that the "constant rimshot" technique was most likely developed in rock music as a way to get heard above loud guitar amplifiers during rehearsals. The solution to loud guitar amps during rehearsals is to raise the speaker cabinets to ear height and place them next to the guitarist. Soon you'll discover you have decent rehearsal levels. Sorry if I'm being harsh, but I thought you may want to know.]]> I do hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but........A good drum kit is made in such a way that all the drums are of similar volume.

Thought I would stop in and invite you all to check out the "Galane" custom drum company. I just made a purchase about a month ago. I am very excited about it.

What are you playing? I'd love to know were other drummers get their custom drums.

They are doing percussion with everyday objects and best of all they are terribly good at it.

I can't imagine the longs hours of practice it must take to come to this result. Each segment is a composition, a song, made of percussion. So it's more than just tapping on object, there is actually compositions talent included as well.

Don't miss this for any reason. One of the best thing I've ever saw.

and I was right.

I am pretty good, too. That's what you get for playing Rock Band every day, I guess =]

Does anyone else play/dabble in drums?]]>
