Drummer?

[marty]

Hey, how many drummers is there on this forum? Im bored so i just wondered.
Could you post how long you've been playing, what kind of music you play and maybe a shot of your setup.

I've been playing for about 5 years, i play allsorts from Jazz to Punk to Metal, but in my band we tend to play Heavy/Hard Rock with some influences from people like Fu-Manchu and The Melvins etc.

here's my setup:





uber-loud side-snare



cheers,

Marty

hey, dont really want to rain on your parade or anything, but its not really my bag. bit too mutch of a shredder for my tastes, and he deffinatly needs to work on his foot-work, stick-tricks are nothing on practising the more basic stuff.


just my 2-cents

[intothevalleyofdeath]

were a metal band

[marty]

maybe so, but the foot-work was still very sketchy.

[intothevalleyofdeath]

well he like just recently got the double bass pedal

[samr]

he seems like he's just going for random hits.

its repetetive as well. whatever, better than any thing I could drum.

[marty]

ok. well, practise makes perfect! ( cheesy as that sounds)

what kind of stuff do you play ?

Marty = what's your cymbal set-up?

[marty]

hey, its a mix but here goes:

14" Sabian B8 - HiHats
16" Sabian B8 Crash
16" Zildjian Medium Thin ZXT Rock Crash (not in picture, but getting stand for it tomorrow)
10" Zildjian Titanium Flash-Splash
16" Paiste Alpha China ( awesome)
20" Sabian B8 Ride

all of em are pretty much low-end stuff, most of it sounds reasonable really though (the china sounds awesome however), until i start earning enough from gigging i'll buy some new stuff.

i presume you drum too?
whats your setup?
