ello all, nothing special really, just wanted to say that yesterday I bought the Unreel transcritions book & cd - [img]eek.gif[/img] a Yamaha Clickstation - Nice!! and Billy Wards dvd, which I've just watched. The guy is so tasteful and groovy it's untrue. He also talks a lote of sense.
[in my best Homer voice] mmmmmmm, so much drum p0rn!

Sounds like some nice stuff! My most recent drum-related purchases have been the new modern drummer issue and a new battery for my Tama rhythm watch. Doesnt compete with you, but Im happy [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

My most recent purchases would have to be a 5X10" DW maple baby snare, and an 18" O-Zone crash that I punched a few brass rivets into. Loving every bit of it!
I watched the Gadd Tribute DVD. The Vinnie rehearsal footage is very cool.
Oh, and I bought a leather jacket today.
i got a 7x13 zebra wood stave shell snare
Sonor Giant Step pedal, groovy retro Pork Pie throne, Queen Latifah's new CD (nice track Erskoman [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] ), Sam Rivers' "Inspiration"...
I also got the Billy Ward DVD recently and really enjoyed it. Anyone read his book? I think I'll get that next.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Although I dont own an O-Zone crash, Ive tried one in a store and think its a great substitute for a China. I wouldnt be brave enough to punch rivets into though...poor cymbal.Quote:

Well I was thinking about getting some of those nifty Thomas Land red shoes to see if my foot speed would dramatically increase but I didn't... I bought lunch and then came home and PRACTISED dammit!
Suspiria- Trust me, it was definitely worth it! That cymbal is my definitive china/dirty ride, and I get nothing but compliments on it. It really does sound awesome!!
i just bought a new dvd called travelling throught time, with el negro and giovanni hidalgo. great stuff. i just love horacio's playing.
sorry to slightly change the thread here, but does anyone know how horacio gets his clave pedal to be so stiff. i.e when he is doing quater notes between hi-hat pedal and clave pedal, the clave pedal has no "swing" so it doesnt interfere with the pattern.....u get me? i looked as hard as i could......but cant see how he does this....the spring is still on etc......
any ideas?
I got the Gadd DVD (at long last) last Wednesday and sat for several hours with a goofy smile on my face as I watched it. Loved every second of it.
I particularly enjoyed Duke's Lullaby - both on the night and the rehearsal footage. Nite Sprite sounded a little under-reheased IMHO but I still loved it.
This is my new favourite drum DVD.
Hmm, let's see. Last two purchases were an impulse eBay purchase of a no-name cheap Maple snare for ?40, onto which I popped Evans HD Dry and Hazy 300 heads and some 42-strand wires (mmm, nice); and the Billy Ward DVD (which I picked up at Music Live and which is excellent).
Previous less successful purchase was "To The Stars" which I am sad to report has singularly failed to grab me so far.

Today i received my Sony condenser mic for my minidisc... Can?t wait to start recording every practice session! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I just got a pair of Zyn hi-hats on Ebay for 30 quid..... they don't fit on my stand and sound a bit rubbish, oh well.
+ just got Phoenix Nights series 2 on DVD (one for all the UK Hodders)
Just bought a second hand 20in Custom Dry Ride from the Drum Shack in Clapham....love it.
Ahhh Pheonix Nights - listen to the commentaries!
I ordered 16 tom for my Renown Kit and Gadd DVD. Waiting for them.
And I get new 16" sweet crash from Istanbul Factory. She's very beautiful [img]wink.gif[/img]

just bought the shure E5c in-ear monitors. can't wait to try 'em out for the first time this weekend. [img]smile.gif[/img]
btw - does anyone know of a friend or store that is selling a used silver sparkle finish (pre nouveau) maple absolute toms? i'm looking for a 12X8 tom or a 16x16 floor tom. thanks!!
The new Gadd dvd, and a round of coted Evans G1 heads on my nr.2 kit.
I have replaced buying mountain bike parts for my drum and music buying sprees.
Bought Hayes 8" brakes and Sun-Ringle SUV Disc wheelset.
Next is possibly a downhill bike...
I recently bought a pearl free floating snare drum which sounds lovely when miked-up. a great multi purpose and it cost me 170 quid on e bay
I just bought the new Jamie Cullum CD "Twenty Something" which I find to be a rather cool one.
Also the Lettuce Live in Tokyo CD. Man the tempos on some of the tunes are a bit on the quick side.
But it is nasty funk.
Also, as noted in another post, a set of Protection Racket Bags.
Last but not least, a bag of Cheetos which I ate right before typing this. So, now my keyboard is Orange!
Milkman...give us your step by step surgical technique where by you install rivets
I just bought a Gretsch 5x14 USA maple snare drum a few weeks ago. great, great sound.
I also purchased a set of used 14" New beat hats, although I still have to pick them up.
I also ordered a 21" K Custom Special Dry Ride, which I have played numerous times, and love it very much.

Picked up a new DVD called 'The Hang' by keyboardist Don Grusin. It's a live show of different groupings of players doing sort of smooth (GRP, Fourplay,etc.) instrumentals and some vocal tunes. Musicians include Don and Dave Grusin, Lee Ritenour, Abraham Laboriel, Nathan East, Ernie Watts, Nelson Rangell, Pete Escovedo, and others. Vocalists include Patti Austin and Phil Perry. The drummers are Alex Acuna, Harvey Mason, and Oscar Seaton, who all sound great on this.
Some recent CD purchases are Manhattan Transfer - Vibrate (w/ Steve Hass), The Philadelphia Experiment (w/ Ahmir Thompson), and Marilyn Scott - Nightcap (w/ Vinnie).
I just ordered the TD20 kit.

Matt Wilson's Arts and Crafts- 'Wake Up! (To What's Happening)'
Not very exciting, except to me. Just bought a 22" Aquarian Super KickI bass drum head. Got good reviews in MD so I thought I might try out a different bass drum sound. I'll let you know how it works out. PT.
Just got 'Drum' and 'Rhythm' mags... see how they compare to MD. Dig the minus-drum stuff that comes with transcription in the 'Rhythm' mag. Finally picked up the Marco DVD. Stagg 10" hi-hats. Sabian, Andre Cecarelli ride. Some Roland PD-7 and PD-8 pads to throw into the acoustic set.
FT- I just drooled all over your new TD-20 kit, sorry [img]tongue.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Super Kick I's are da bomb!!!! I recently went to all Aquarian and am still getting used to tuning them. I haven't finalized my snare drum batter head of choice. You'll like that bd head, though!!!!Quote:

Hey PalmerLouie...I was lucky enough to sit about 3 feet away from Negro's left foot at the Blue Note NYC a few years back and the beater at rest is like 1-2 inches from the block/cowbell. That way, gravity doesn't make it bounce when his foot's not on the pedal. It takes some getting used to, but the pedal's alot more cooperative when switching to and fro'...Hope that's helpful.
