Members boomboomdrums Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah that kindof threw me off a little bit last year. To get ready I was practicing on my 5 peice with 2 toms mounted on top of the bass drum. I knew they'd have a 5 piecer. However, the kit they had was set up with the 2 toms to the left of the bass drum. Some of the licks I had worked up on my kit were harder to pull off in that configuration. I think a few of them I just had to not do. Good experience though. Drums solos can be good if they're musical and not just a flurry of fast notes. Working up a solo and performing it is good experience for any aspiring drummer IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dwdrummer732 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 ya that makes me very nervous. im a short dude and anytime i go to jams the hihats are too high and the stool is to low and the snare is nipple height to me lol. I hope the hardware on the house kit has a good range of adjustment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jarick Posted August 25, 2008 Members Share Posted August 25, 2008 You could bring your own bass pedal and sticks and had five minutes to set up. I believe when I played it was a fusion sized Starclassic Performer with Paiste Signature cymbals (two crash, hihat, ride, china). It was fun for me because I hadn't used a china in years or Paiste cymbals. A few of the drummers were wondering why I was hooking up an old 5000 single pedal when I could have used GC's Iron Cobra doubles (I had never used a double pedal at the time). Beyond that, one of the other entrants, who played a real jazz-inspired solo, complimented me on my playing, as I started it off with a jazzy intro. He also commented on how I was the only other drummer to use hearing protection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cross Eyed Mary Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 When i worked there, i didn't attend ONE single drum off. I had school on those days, so suck THAT! And yes, they were mostly douches with double bass chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one (besides me) who used a single bass changed the whole set, it took about 10 min. and he pissed the tech guy off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
