Bought my drum set

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.

My band just got a new drumset. More like upgrading the old
one, actually.

7 toms
2 bass drums
-a double bass pedal on the bigger one
2 hi hats
3 crash
1 splash
2 ride
1 gong
1 cow bell
2 snares

It's friggin' tight....

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.

I can play open, and closed. I prefer open for jazz, and
closed for rock beats.

open = un crossed?

closed = crossed?

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.

doing :)
