Hey Drummers...

LOL, oh great. Another glee club thread

 

You makin' fun, GayMedic?

 

I remember "Grand Funk's" drummer absolutely wearing out a l'il bucko 4-piece kit when they opened for ZZ Top. Doesn't really take a "40-piece" kit, does it???

 

NOOOO not at all...i loved that set...

 

Nope i could play almost the same stuff on my 5 piece set .. but it was a visual thing ... i guess kinda ego thing back then

 

The hospital put that paper plate in your head yet? Last I talked to you; you mentioned that every time you went near a running microwave with the old metal one, you started flatulating uncontrollably.

Hippy!

 

I used to have a Gretch Blackhawk 5 piece, with 3 roto-toms on the side, a Premier snare and Sabian cymbals. (12"spalsh, 17"crash, 24"ride) Don't have a set now, but still get to sit in on the drums for one tune in every show. Our drummer uses DP stuff. Very nice, no holes in the toms.

 

and my potato would cook but that's for another thread....

 

I'm impressed. I didn't know drummers could count that high!





















(just kidding!)

 

Ludwigs

Until recently I had a vintage set of Ludwids I played when in high school.In college I even played Ludwig Timpani's I had four of them.small to large. I loved the way they held a tone.

My buddy played Slingerlands because Buddy Rich played them...I took lessons from Joey Gentile....who was Tommy Dorsey's drummer. He played Ludwigs.Case closed

i used to play alot around locally, but the group broke around 3 years ago. played some decent gigs, largest crowd i've been in front of is 10,000 at festival in orlando. when i got into motorcycles drums went to the wayside and i just started playing again a couple months ago. currently just playing in what we call "coffee house rock" band, but basically light rock that you can chill to. just doing it for fun and enjoy playing.

 

DP?

 

I've been drumming since I was 6 or 7.. (I'm almost 26 now). Havent had a decent setup in a while because of living conditions, but I had a tama 5-piece with Sabian AA cymbols. I loved that set... DW 5002-AHM double bass pedal.. I would rock out on that thing. I loved it.

I also marched drums in HS and WGI... played quads/quints in HS and top bass in WGI. Went to the world finals 2 yrs in a row but never scored higher than 5th...

 

Yeah alot of drummers used them back in the late 80's

 

Does DP stand for something? I've never heard of it.

 

drums and percussion? i know there are some cheap starter sets called that. (not dp but drums and percussion)

 

Drums and Percussion

 

DW's sound great as well.


still remember the sound of those SONORS. damn.

 

DP makes a great "claw" for mics -- just clamps right to the rim.

I believe you're thinking of LP.
