Was that your official school picture that year? They didn’t give use the option of posing with a drum.

I have worked as a prosecutor for almost 25 years. The first 8 as an Assistant DA. The last 17 as a Fed. I handle mostly gang murder cases, as well as some drug cases and bank robberies.

So on the batter side, what are the lugs at to get the fundamental pitch you want?

Have you guys done much recording with your SQ1’s?

Yes- saw that just now too! Awesome deal.

Now that they have discontinued the red and green finishes, there are some crazy sales. I am tempted to to get 13/16/24 in green for like $1799 new. Thoughts?

All these answers are very helpful. This is a great forum. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

While I have you here, which head for good all around but fairly fat sound? I have other snares for high end crack. I have both ambassador and evans hd dry on hand.

I’ve wanted to learn for years. My percussionist daughter wants to learn as well. I’m buying her one over the holidays, and may try to learn on it myself as well. Was thinking Squier also, or Used Fender player series. Is there a strong argument for precision vs jazz bass for beginners?

Okay, now unfortunately it’s my turn to explore the “I’m getting divorced and need to be able to practice in an apartment” thing. I bought an Evans real feel bass pad. What’s best low volume cymbals on a budget? I’m a zildjian guy, but for this purpose okay with going cheaper brands. And am I...

Okay- loosened the snare wires a good bit, and it totally worked! I feel like everything I thought I ever knew about snare drums was wrong, ha ha. Thanks for your help, everyone!

Has anyone seen his paid 10-13 hour one on mixing drums for $97 or so?

JDA- thanks for sharing your Berklee experiences. I was a nerd and went to Harvard. My drum teacher, Bob Gullotti, went to Berklee, but a little before you, I think. He then became an instructor there well after your time.

I recently got into home recording, and have Logic Pro X. I found Austin Burcham's free youtube series "How to Record Drums" very helpful to get started in Logic Pro X. Just the right amount of detail to get started.

When you say "crank," roughly how high in Hz, if you know?

I'm at work now, but I am pretty sure that I have it around 260-270. I can try lowering reso tension and report back. That is sort of counterintuitive for me, as I thought that would give less sensitivity and a more "tom" sound on ghost notes. No?

Hey guys- Recently got a lightly used Yamaha RC 8x14 birch snare (new model) on reverb. I'm not that experienced with snares of this depth. Snare sounds good when hit hard, but any ghost notes have no snare sound on them. Like I'm hitting a tom. I took off the Evans HD dry I had put on, and...

What was his wife’s name? Lil? Anyway, some big names were with you at Berklee, no? And studied with Alan Dawson? Fred Buda?

I grew up in Belmont and Cambridge. And Jack’s was The drum store growing up. A couple of other one’s in the neighborhood- Harvey something. Harvey Simon?

If stuck on a desert island I, too, would want my Gretsch Bell Brass. I love the way it sounds live and in recordings. Plus, I could use it to communicate with people stranded on neighboring desert islands hundreds of miles away.
