First drum set ever, don't even know how to play the things: Slingerland 5 piece kit. Bass with two toms, snare and floor tom thing. Crash symbols with no stand, a ride symbol and some other big crash symbol. Also got assorted sticks and wisks or whatever. I lack a few symbol stands, a throne, or bass pedal, but I'll get them tommorow. Set is off white and looks new. it is used, but the price to me ~$350 ----------------------- Anyone got any tips about this drumming thing? I'm just going to teach myself and see how it goes. This is rather exciting I'll say! :D |

"all we need is a drum-mer.." etc. Drums are cool indeed. Great for letting off steam! |

eight notes with the right hand on the high hat. play the snare on 1 and 3. play the kick on 2 and 4. you can play a lot of pop songs now. |

Never, ever cross your arms when playing- looks cool, but if you can mastr playing without it you can get so much better. First thing my mate's (good drummer- plays for a samba band that plays clubs & festivals) drum teacher taught him... |

damn, doesn't everyone do that though? to hit the hi-hat and the snare at the same time? does it just mess with your coordination or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Oh, and there's really no disadvantage to crossing your arms. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you're right-handed, it'll be really hard to play un-crossed. If you're left-handed you could try it. Although many lefties put the hi-hat on the right side just so they can cross. |
||||||||
|

|
|
oh, well, I'm right handed, I don't even know how to keep time, so got to start from square one I guess I'm going to go out and by my snare stand, etc in a little while, can't wait to wake the neighbors with my beats |
||||||||
|

|
|
omg, this is the best therapy ever I set it up , bought a few stands, and just drown my own mind out. this is wonderful. Hours go by and all that happens is my ears ring. joy of joys, my dreams are true |

Slingerland's snares are nice. Had one for a while. Protect your ears. |

|
|
they hurt after not too long I need those earphones that gun shooters have. yeah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can play open, and closed. I prefer open for jazz, and closed for rock beats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
open = un crossed? closed = crossed? |

blatantecho: i sugguest 8th notes on high hat/ride and bass on 1 and 3, snare on 2 and 4. sorry to correct rarndaraki |

you're blowing my mind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i don't have a bass pedal yet either. in fact, I lack a stand for my ride symbol I am using a wooden chair as a throne too hehe, I love this life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's what I use. They're great. I like them much more than ear plugs, because when you put them on, you're set. You don't have to worry if they're slipping out of place, like ear plugs tend to do because of sweat. symbols = cymbals. I use a wooden chair too, heh. Just have fun. |
||||||||

cymbals, nice catch i don't feel stupid cuz I never claimed to know what I was doing :) thanks for all the advice |
