We're about drums.
Now here’s a real knee slapper!
Well its more like a knee smasher. I don’t know about you, but lately when I’m just messing around and playing, I occasionally hit my knees. I’ll just be playing and then all of the sudden I’ll glance away from the kit, and my drumstick will come crashing down on my knee. IT HURTS! I mean it goes away pretty quickly, normally after a few minutes, but it really hurts. So it just goes to show you that you should always pay attention to what your doing.

Starting Again

So it has been a while since I really did anything with this website because I have been busy with my other business, school, and with my jazz band. But, I’ve decided to begin compiling a collection of drum videos from YouTube that I have found that are useful for drummers of all ages and
The Roc-N-Soc (with funny descriptions…alex…)

The Roc-N-Soc Nitro Throne is unbeatable! I don’t think that I have ever sat on a throne more comfortable than the Roc-N-Soc nitro throne. I will be purchasing this throne in the near future when my budget allows me too, because this thing is amazing. It’s almost like sitting on a cloud, but a cloud

Vadrum Meets the Barber of Seville (Drum Video)

When this came up in my YouTube subscriptions I immedaitely clicked on it. Then for 3 minutes I couldn’t believe my eyes. Perfect in everyway, so clean, amazing speed around the entire kit, just flawless. I had to post it here even though Andrea Vadrucci is so popular already, I might as well plug him
FreeDrumLessons.com

I just found this cool site called www.freedrumlessons.com. It’s actually pretty cool, because it gives insight to various styles of drumming. Now I consider myself to be an intermediate drummer, and to me this site was really helpful. Yes some of it was extremely basic, but if you’re just starting out then there’s no problem
AMAZING INVENTION!!

This is something I will soon be adding to my stickbag. The slapstick lets you play unbelievable rhythms and although some people think its cheating, it’s just another way to play (but I still think you should learn to play 16th notes on hihat, just because you gain a lot more independance).Jeff Consi from http://www.jeffconsi.com/ wrote a
Cobus – Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – Face Down (Drums Cover)

YES!! Cobus finally posted some new videos on YouTube! Personallyy I’m not a huge fan of the way it turned out, but it still sounds a lot better than a lot of other drum videos that I’ve seen. Oh yeah and a little tidbit about myself is that I based my set-up on his, and

A new page called “General Drumming Tips” has been added to this site. I found it in the Pearl Drummers Forum and brought it over here. It’s a great list that will probably continue to grow. General Drumming Tips

Pearl Visions are going all birch AND all maple (yes I mean 100%)! Pearl has announced the new VBX and VMX Visions, which will be sold along with the birch/basswood VX and VSX models. They are a little bit more expensive than the other models, but as it turns out the other models have dropped
Superstars Go Hyperdrive
about 2 years ago - No comments
Tama has decided to completely get rid of standard tom sizes, for the Superstars that is. Tama is only making hyperdrive Superstar kits now. If you don’t already know, hyperdrive means that the toms are shallower. Tama says that this makes the toms produce “unparalled punch, blistering attack and rich, full tone.” The smaller toms

I must confess I have done the same SLAP more than once myself. The other end is almost as painfull, and takes much longer to go away. At the end of a multi-rack tom fill, coming down for the final floor tom shots right at the end of a tune, I crushed the middle knuckle of my middle finger on the rim, and thought surely I had broken it. The pain was extreme, and I wanted to scream, but was wearing a headset mic for singing backups. Anyone who says drumming isn’t a contact sport doesn’t put enough heart into their art!
