This is pretty cool. Never knew this existed. Im a drummer have an old school Rogers set with the blue sparkle holiday wrap that ive used for shows and its held up through the years. Unfortunately we moved to a condo. And we have a 9 month old baby boy so they sky in the attic now. But was thinking about getting those new Roland v drums. The collapsible ones. Look pretty neat and the price isn't to bad.
[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Hi zipp, welcome! Nice old kits are becoming a rarity these days, so hang on to yours. The time will come when you can set her back up and jam. But in the meantime, if your budget allows, definately pick up an e-kit and keep those chops up.

How long have you been playing, and what kind of music do you like?
[Off-topic] zippox180:
Ive been playing on and off since I was 14 im 26 now. Took lessons for a bit but then I just started playing by ear. I cant read music too well lol but I can replicate pretty well. I always liked the pop punk since I started playing when that was big. So like blink 182,mxpx, nofx, and some old school afi. I did venture into some hardcore types specifically evergreen terrace and poison the well. So when I played hardcore I actually did not do double bass that much but i really worked the Toms and single pedal. I love fills and awkward combinations of cymbals and Toms lol. Say like a tom roll into a ride bell then immediately open hihat to splash. I took the pop punk influence and just made it heavier.

Ended up having to work late...... So I'll have to try it tomorrow. And as far as the recording goes, we haven't done them yet. I got a new job in the last 6 months and it's taken over my life. Pulling 50+ hours here a week is pretty frequent. My energy to play drums after work keeps diminishing and it's breaking my heart! Working almost every weekend as well!

It's been getting more frustrating lately because my feet are now terrible! Not consistently playing in the last 6 months or so has really taken its toll on my progress in speed/coordination with my feet. My hands are better than ever though! Considering I'm able to practice chops daily.

I actually made my self an oath on Tuesday about forcing myself to practice on my pads at home for an hour everyday at least. I'll start that tomorrow!

In the mean time, I remember you saying that you love Periphery so I'll leave this here for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h3sW-UKpeY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

And Axisdrummer, I know your a double bass focused drummer. Any good practice suggestions to really get me going again? With the style of metal I'm playing I really want to get up in the 230bpm range. I was around 180 or so when I was frequently playing but now it's no where close to that. I've always kind of just forced my self to achieve that speed and never really learned a technique. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yep I just found basically the same thing, stating:

The shell is an alloy of aluminum called "Ludalloy." The chrome on Supraphonics is known to pit, because chrome on aluminum is not very stable. Anit-galvanic aluminum, was Ludwig's attempt at preventing the pitting.

My dad bought it from a guy on the side of the road for $80 back in 2001.

Indeed. A fully equipped TD20 with all the fixing will set you back $10,000 beans. BUT...its also built to last, @nd can easily endure road shows. The other great benefit in owning digital drums is the ability to assign different sounds to each trigger. Basically, you get pretty much every digital version of every instrument. Kind of nice. The only complaint I have ever had is with the cymbal triggers. They randomly cut out when struck.hard.

Gotta say...I'm kinda sold on the Hart Dynamics kit with the td20 module...the cymbals are far more realistic, and the snare has some nice nuances going on. The drummer in the video is a little stiff and awkward, but Hart seems to have made some nice responsive pads/cymbals to compliment the td20.

[Off-topic] TheSkinnyDrummer:
Earlier tonight, my 6 year old daughter went digging and found some DVDs of some shows I did a few years ago.

Now, I've pretty much avoided showing her what I did, for a few reasons. First of all....the bad language of the vocalists, secondly, having dancing girls on stage...that kind of thing.

I haven't actively played in a good touring quality band in a few years, so she's never seen me play a big show. Or any show, for that matter.

Long story short, I think she's been sneaking into my bedroom and watching all my footage. She's been asking me lately if I want to be in a band again.

Honestly, I miss playing shows, And I want my kids to see what I can do. They have no idea, because I don't play drums in my house. There's nowhere for me to do it.

I feel like if I were to form/join a band now (at 35), I wouldn't be satisfied if the band didn't have ambition. Which means I would be in it full time like I did all thru my 20s. I just can't be satisfied playing in a cover bands at bars once a week.

I didn't see my older daughter during her first 2 years of her life because I was touring....now, at 6, she wants me to be in a band.

I just don't know what to do.

I just know the type of person I am. I only like to play when going for broke. I only like to play to big crowds. I have been spoiled by some good experience.

Its almost like I want my kids to see me play as the person I was 5 years ago...but I wasn't a great person then.

I just want my kids to see me do something cool. Sounds so superficial, I know.

But one last point...I started my love affair with drums when I was about my daughter's age. She just won't leave me alone about it, and because I was 6 years old once, I know the feeling...
