i got a pearl drumset that i got used and it has the biggest ass base drum, sucks casue the toms are way to high and raise me seat and i cant reach the foot pedel, and nice sabian simbols
Recording day today. The bandmembers want to film me recording the drums and put them on the band-page(which is under construction). This makes me nervous somehow since i look like a spastic infant when i play drums. That BTBAM vid posted was fucking funny. I always get angry when i miss, especially when it's going well.

[img]http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/emot-v.gif[/img] Its all in the face [img]http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/wink.gif[/img]. But yeah man, awesome. Can't wait to hear it. Alright guys. What pedals do you use? [img]http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/smile.gif[/img] I currently use a Axis AL2 longboard double pedal, got it a few months ago, and its single handedly the best pedal i've ever used, and i've tried alot of pedals. Infact, its so good I wouldn't mind having sex with it. But sadly, drum pedals..even as epic as the Axis ones. Lack vaginas.
I need a drumset I learned how to play from Guitar Hero :D Now I can play Raining Blood on a real set.
I started with Rock Band aswell (made me fall in <3 with drums) Terrible place to start. It was horrid trying to learn how to play on a real set from RB.

I use a Gibraltar Avenger double bass pedal. It's feels really good to me, but I haven't used that many other pedals so I can't really give it a fair review.

You just need to match what buttons you are hitting to which drum/cymbal you'd need to be hitting
[QUOTE=Trogdon;16996592]but I transferred pretty well. You just need to match what buttons you are hitting to which drum/cymbal you'd need to be hitting[/QUOTE] Timing and technique on the pedal is what got me. If they added a Hi-hat control/double kick to RB, it would be awesome. [/rb]
I feel like getting a cowbell for Christmas. But I don't know whether to get one on a foot pedal or one I can beat with my stick.
[QUOTE=The DooD;16997835]I feel like getting a cowbell for Christmas. But I don't know whether to get one on a foot pedal or one I can beat with my stick.[/QUOTE] Latin Percussion makes good cowbells.
[QUOTE=Benjy355;16997533]Timing and technique on the pedal is what got me. If they added a Hi-hat control/double kick to RB, it would be awesome. [/rb][/QUOTE] Yeah the high hat pedal still screws me honestly. I can't match the way it sounds in certain songs but I can use it when I want kinda.
Man it's true what they say about coating on remo heads ha! but I still love coated emps over ebony ambassadors
[QUOTE=poryon2;17001688]Latin Percussion makes good cowbells.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the heads up :v: But personally i dont like cowbells they irritate me :buddy: [editline]10:38PM[/editline] BTW guys, when i play rockband , the foot pedal always sends pain up my foot, wheni play it for like half an hour +. how do i stop this it really hurts, and today i couldnt walk :(

Well, that was a stressing weekend. Recorded drumtracks twice, but with technical problems and switching of drumgrooves, I have to record them again. But it's ok, since we've(the band) made a new tune. Probably record drums again in the next few days. Until then, I have to practice like hell, since every little microsecond out of time is easily discovered. No filming either. Blah..

Drumline is legit.
Sup drummas. I uploaded a little ditty to test the drumsound from recordings. It's just some wailing around with some EQ and Reverb slapped on. Hope you like it!(Its the one called "Demo Trums" [url]http://www.myspace.com/thordnordli[/url]

On the toms i use remo smooth white ambassadors on batter and emperor clear on reso(i can't remember exactly), snare i use coated emperor on batter and emperor clear. Bass uses Powerstroke 3 batter and evans something reso.

On all of my toms I have Remo Pinstripe, with stock reso. Snare: Coated emperor, and a stock head for the reso. And on my Bass drum, I have a Powerstroke 3 batter and an Evans EMAD 2 reso head.
[QUOTE=Hav0k;17049708]That was awesome dude. Very groovy. [/QUOTE] Yeah that was sweet man , nice one !
Thanks alot. I'll probably record more tomorrow, maybe more grooves 'n stuff.
My drum teacher every year hosts a drum fest where all of his students, including me of course, bring their set and do a bunch of stuff at my uncles house, because he's friends with my drum teacher and he lives out in the country with a huge-ass yard. Anyway because of rain it keeps getting canceled, and it's been post-poned for like five times. gaaahh
