Members Wellhungarian Posted December 26, 2006 Members Share Posted December 26, 2006 My son bought me Guitar Hero II and we had a blast playing it yesterday. Also, he got the new Porcupine Tree DVD and Gavin Harrison is quickly becoming one of my favorite "new" drummers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FitchFY Posted December 26, 2006 Members Share Posted December 26, 2006 The lady got me a Humes and Berg hardware bag, which I sorely needed, as well as a drum-oriented painting and a Sabian t-shirt. Scored a new shaft for my Tama Iron Cobra double pedal, as well as $35 in Guitar Center gift cards. Plus clothes. All in all, this was a very Merry Christmas!

Members mraia Posted December 26, 2006 Members Share Posted December 26, 2006 As far as non drum related stuff, the kids got me the new Superman and Pirates of the Caribbean dvds. The wife knows I need cymbals, so she gave me a card that basically said "treat yourself to whatever you want at whatever drum shop you want". Cant beat that, as far as Im concerned. Plus, she's a truly great wife and mother, which is gift enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zeromus-X Posted December 26, 2006 Members Share Posted December 26, 2006 New Tuxedo bags for my drums, and a brick of cheap sticks. Other than that, picked up a 4 gig USB flash drive to store songs on, because my car's CD player has a USB port on it and it plays MP3s right off the flash drives. That's a freaking lot of music. The drive itself is less than an inch, it's ridiculous. Bunch of other random {censored} too but nothing musically relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also got The code of funk Drumming by David Garibaldi and The Buddy Rich memorial scholarship concerts on DVD. She also bought me a new music stand since the one I had is crap. She spoils me.

Members twosticks Posted December 27, 2006 Members Share Posted December 27, 2006 Sabian HH 18" Crash/Ride- in a word "awesome" has taken some getting used to after playing a 20" dry ride for awhile. A cheap everyday watch, which is what I wanted. A moustache and beard trimmer. I'm very happy Two things: Sat night my wife was feeling really crappy after we got off work, she was short of breath and confused and was out of it. Took her to the hospital and found out she has a urinary tract infection, but also want so more test done with regular doctor. SHe couldn'ttalk well and was acting drunk on the way. SHe is resting with antibotics and doing much better. Christmas day woke up to a power outage. Had to work, so I brushed my teeth at a local store and combed my hair after having a flat on the way there. Once I got to work found out the power outage was due to some storms and knocked down some houses and tore up others. Got as close as a mile from my house. So I would humbly say that having my health, my wife and family and my house still standing is the best Christmas of all. Peace to all. Just made me see things in a different light this season.

Members Zeromus-X Posted December 28, 2006 Members Share Posted December 28, 2006 Our local Guitar Center has a V1 double pedal sitting right out on the floor for people to try out, with an $850 price tag on it. Can't believe it every time I go in there. They're really careful if they see some kids trying to sit behind them or anything, but still... those things should be in a case.

Members DownByLaw Posted December 29, 2006 Members Share Posted December 29, 2006 Short review: Trick ProV1 This is a very nicely made pedal. (with caveat) Mucho adjustability. No case. (wtf?) The biggest issue I had with it was it's lack of backwards momentum/swing off the head. Because of it's design, the bounce off the head seems to be far less than either the Axis or any other pedal I've tried. This makes the pedal very tiring to play imho. (leg cramps) In addition, despite what their website says, I find the increasing tension as the beater approaches the head to be more than standard pedals. The pedal basically wants to stop EXACTLY at impact, (12:00) with no "follow through". In other words, with the pedal off the drum, when pushed hard the beater does not want to go past absolute vertical, hampering power and giving a strange feel as the beater approaches the head. (my axis has far more power, and the axis is not known for being very powerful) If you do the test most do for kick pedals, namely number of free swings before stopping, it comes up very short. In fact, even my Pearl Eliminator far surpasses it. I also feel there is a serious design flaw in the pedal to beater linkage as the link is not machined exactly enough to prevent rubbing at it's connection to the pedal. (cocked to rub on one side) This spells failure/wear to me. Mine was making unpleasant rubbing/bearing noises right out of the box. My Axis is silent, quicker and cheaper. And with the adjustability of the Axis (Original, A) it can convincingly mimick the feel of the Trick, and more, silently (absolutely silently) For what it's worth, I play mostly heel up, some heel/toe. And yes, I adjusted this pedal 6 ways from Sunday over the course of 3 days.
