My first set was a Saint George. Anyone remember those? The drums made a sound
like you get when you hit a cardboard box REAL hard. The cymbals were the right
color for cymbals, but they sounded more like trashcan lids. The set was OK to
practice on, but as soon as I got hired by a real band, they made me buy a real
drum set (Slingerland) with real cymbals (A. Zildjian).

Saint George made solid body electric guitars & amps too. I played one of their
basses for a while. SOunded OK, but it had a split baseball bat for a neck.

I have been a percussionist/drummer both professionally and casually for 23 years now
and I have to agree that you must start on a pad. There are fundamentals that must
be started with the basics. I have taught students for about 5 years and have found that
all want to start out on a set because it is fun. I guess there is one fundamental question
you as a beginner need to ask yourself - What do I want to do with what I am about to
undertake? If you want to become a musician, then learn to read music! If you want to 
become a metal head , then go buy the biggest, loudest set you can find and put on 
your favorite CD and start beating! There is nothing wrong with the later, but IMHO
you will not be a musician.

I might need glasses, but what I have read in all publications is that Porcoro died
from an allergic reaction to a garden chemical that he was spraying in his yard. You
might want to check your facts out before you state them. That is, unless you are close 
friends to him and know something we don't.

I have to agree with your vote for Vinnie as a great player. I really only have one 
recording with him playing - Joe's Garage from Zappa. 

One of the purposes for me spawning this talk of great players was to investigate 
recordings that they all played on. I would like to start a list and post it on 
a regular basis so that we drummers can have an index to check out. 

Here are some of my favorites: forgive my speeling please!

Dave Weckl
Steve Smith 
Peter Erskine
Chad Wackerman
Vinnie Colaiuta
Terry Bozzio
Jack DeJonette
Steve Gadd
Dennis Chambers
Will Calhoun
Tony Williams
Gregg Bissonette
Alex Acuna

If you know of a recording that these or others have played on and would like to
participate in helping me out with this project, please email me your responses.

Thanks!

What albums has Colaiuta played on (I know there are probably hundreds)?
I have Zappa's 'Shut up and play yer guitar' and I didn't find the music
that interesting (I haven't really, really listened to it though).  I
thought most of it they played because thats what they played and

My first kit ( most of which I still have in the basement somewhere ) was
a 4-piece set, originally from Sears, which I bought USED for $75. Sounded
like shit, but hey. I played semi-professionally with it too.

Howdy y'all...

I currently have a piece-of-shit set that I am too embarrassed to mention
the brand name of (assuming anyone else in the known universe owns this
brand) but I am thinking about buying a new set in the forseeable future.

I have heard lots about the Export sets, and as I am not rolling
in cash and don't use/make enough money using my drums to warrant a huge
expense, I am looking for some reasonably priced drums.

I have seen/heard a number of Sonor sets and am thoroughly impressed by
the sound quality. Unfortunately, I have never seen a pamphlet, ad, or
store that mentions/sells any Sonor equipment. I assume, for some reason,
that Sonor sets are quite expensive. Is this the case? Anyone got any
prices for various sets? 5-piece? 7? 9? Double bass?

Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Jeff died back in August from a heart attack caused by some type of

a great musician's life.  He may be gone now, but we still have his
music.

You will be jerked around by both dealer and manufacturer, both placing
blame and responsibility on the other.  This is standard practise for
manufacturer's who care little about their customers.  This is also
standard practise for just about every dealer of musical instruments
I've ever had to deal with.

"We've got your money, you've got your equipment, end of discussion."

I did not place Ludwig in this category, until now.  Yes, you should
(as previously posted) let Ludwig know that you have advertised their
inability to resolve a problem with a brand-new item of their manufacture
in this forum.  Perhaps someone can come up with an actual number of
readers of this group, or the net as a whole, or just tell them it posts
to (ahem) "thousands of machines throughout the entire civilized world".
At least that's how they describe it locally.


Good luck and *please* let us know how this turns out.

I'd like to put in a plug for Dave Weckl.  I recently picked up a copy
of his "Heads Up" release.  Excellent!

He also has a piece on it called "Trigger Happy".  It's all Dave and no one
else. Here's what the insert says about it:

	TRIGGER HAPPY   3:58
	(inspired by Tony Verderosa)
	Dave Weckl - EVERYTHING - all at once.
	All sounds are electronically triggered live
	from the drum set in one pass.  No over-
	dubs, no sequence, no other musicians.

It's a prime example of what can be accomplished with a combination of
acoustic drums, pads, and triggers.

I have been using the same Royce set for 13 years now: 3 bands, 4 cracked
Ziljians, and countless marching sticks used for heavy metal. I am still
amazed this thing (nicknamed the Drums of Death by my friend Al) has held
together. All Al and I have to say is:

"Royce: the Rolls Royce of sets, drums of champions!"
"Hi, I'm Ira 'Beatmaster' and I use ONLY Royce drums and plenty o'reverb
and flange for that SPECIAL sound.Who needs a $2000 set when you have a
$200 reverb unit lying around?"
"Reverb is drummer's friend...."

I'm not a percussionist, but I love the drums on a lot of the songs
from Peter Gabriel's album "So".  I believe the drummer on my favorite
songs was named Manu Katche.  Does anyone know anything about this
guy?  The only other place I've seen his name is on the credits
for a Robbie Robertson song called "Fallen Angel".  This song was
produced by Peter Gabriel, so it sounds almost like it could've been
on "So".

One of the more recent (though it's a couple of years old) recordings that
Vinnie plays on is Sting's 1991 tour video (live).  This video really
captures the essence of Vinnie: the ability to play in a rock/jazz setting
and still embellish the music with incredible subtleties.  Ironically, as
much as I admire Dave Weckl, I don't think he as the "feel" to pull off a
rock/pop situation.

Vinnie can also be found on one of the Rippington CDs.

How about Mickey Hart of Grateful Dead.  Besides his playing ability, he has
contributed extensively to the education of your average Joe Shmoe as well
as pro drummers as to the history, meaning, psyche, ect. of drums and
drumming. Check out his latest book and CD Planet Drum.  He also did much of
the sound track to Appocolypse Now - the jungle scenes and such.
