A wrap? Very hard to tell that from the pics. It looks like a psychadelic paint job... Which actually answers the question of which kit to take to the Bikers for Christ gig  The new one obviously! Again, nice snag. Yes, I agree, I will take them to do The Bikers For Christ Gig and probably all gigs. I have a Steam Bent Walnut snare drum being built custom for me that should be in at the end of next week. The Tama Snare sounds great too. I may have a tough time figuring out what snare sounds the best. I just tuned my Tama's up and WOW. They sound Fantastic. I can honestly compare Tama Star Classic Maple and Star Classic Birch now. I will be using them with my band tomorrow after noon so I will hear how they sound and record. The sound was worth the money alone. The psychedelic wrap finish was just a big plus. I won't have to worry to much about ever seeing another kit like mine  . OH, I added another pic to my original post. Nutty |

Thanks Hannah, Yea, Max fixed me up again. I asked him about your gig on the 21st and He said you were all set. Ryan in the drum shop at Mellwood Ave. said he needed to call you for some reason. See you then! Thank you for all the complements. Nutty |

nice!
Have roland developed area sensitive heads yet? I'm still using an old TD-8 from 2001.
Are the samples much of an improvement? I'd be using them for toms and kick.

yes I believe they are more sensitive, altho I have never found Roland or any other brand that has heads that sound good with brushes ... just my personal opinion if you haven't seen it before, check out this link: http://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=659&ParentId=60should be a video of the TD12 at NAMM |

It's pretty big, all right. That ride is the only "original" piece, which I've had for fourteen years (since I started drumming). My dad found it at a pawn shop for $50; it was a Christmas present.

Here's some pics of the Gretsch but without cymbals. As you can see, the 12" tom and the snare are a little darker blue 'cause they don't get used much, but I set them up anyway. I usually just play a 4 piece with two ride cymbals for boppin' around, but I occasionally add the 12, a crash or two and the old gajate bracket if I need to play rock or latin. It's a Renown from the first year they hit the market, so it doesn't have the die-cast hoops. The BD is a 20" and really has a nice sound. I'm happy with them, and plan to just spend cash on cymbals and snares for awhile still.  Steve is always trying to ruin my shot - what a joker!  This is how I have to practice these days, which is frustrating, to say the least:  |

Why don't you put one of those mouse pads on your snare and give your fingers a workout?
What kind of Gretsch is that?

I can turn over that practice pad and it has the "mousepad" type material on the other side. I usually keep the bouncy side up because the snare is generally much more responsive than the toms with normal heads anyway. It's a Renown from 2001, which is a bit different than the ones today, as I noted in the post above. |

This is how I have to practice these days, which is frustrating, to say the least: How does the E-bass drum pad fit in sonically and feel wise? Do you use that when playing unpadded? That idea is part of my work in progress dream set. I never actually tried it out, but I would imagine you could program tons of different sounds. Kind of like an acoustic one with the different foam inserts on the batter, only 10X easier to change and 100X more choices. Ross |
