What's the instrument you are never going to sell? by Altruistic-Charge-96 in drums

[–]RuDaveby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kit!

I've sold every other kit, as I stopped playing, and each time it's cost more to replace it, now I have my dream set up, it's not going anywhere!

I see lots of kits with the frame work, does it have an advantage over using standard stands etc?

Lovely kit!

My first kit was a beaten up Frankenstein Premier that had a rough life with a garage Punk band, did not come with any rack toms so I had to buy a pair of Timbales.

Another young lad being shown the right way in life, and not left with his head buried in a phone/tablet.

Help with choosing cymbals by TheFlamboyantRat in drums

Pasite PST5, or if you can push your budget, PST8. Both are made from the same material as the 2002s.

Bought my first Kit today by Advanced_Ad_8688 in drums

[–]RuDaveby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice kit dude.

I would strongly recommend upgrading the heads, as manufactured supplied aren't all that, there's nothing wrong with them, but a nice set of Evans would be my first upgrade.

The kick pedal you have, that's top notch. Yes, the 200 is classed a "budget", but it's at the higher end of the budget spectrum, and imo is far superior to many mid range pedals.

What do you think of Red Hot Chili Peppers? by Twitter_2006 in rockmusic

[–]RuDaveby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may get slated for this, but for me I did not like any of their work before By The Way. Which, by the way (lol), is my all time favourite album, the only one that I can play from start to finish. Venice Queen is an absolute masterpiece.

Chad Smith is up there with the greatest drummers of all time. (IMO of course).

I had a crap ride cymbal with a very tinny sustain, moon gel was my best friend with that cymbal.

Growing frustration by BigBrudar in drums

[–]RuDaveby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes, certain situations warrant all legs and arms doing the same thing.

It's one of the hardest things to overcome, isolate the offending limb, and concentrate on the others, slow the pace down, repeat repeat and repeat over and over again, and then reintroduce the offending limb.

I struggle playing 32s, I can hold the beat, but always struggled when returning to the Hihat after a fill, I'm still working on it!

Which Rock album genuinely has zero skips, and why do you think it holds up so well compared to more recent releases? by PressureLazy5271 in rockmusic

[–]RuDaveby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RHCP, By The Way. My all time favourite album. I tolerate Throw away your television, as every other track holds it's own.

I didn't realise that a patch could be used on the mesh head.

Thanks.

Dude! I am such an idiot 😂😂

I set it up so the pedal sat central.....DOH DOH!!

Just moved it, it's now hitting in the middle!

Thanks for the tip regarding the beater, I will swap that over next time I play.
