Re: Big Weckl announcement?

Re: Vinnie out with 60 year-old bass player

Saying one drum sounds drier than another is very subjective. I think Gretsch drums actually have a rounder tone with a bit more sustain than Ludwig, which have a kind of "thonk" or "bark" to them. Vinnie really does love the Ludwig sound. As for your dislike of his recorded bass...

Re: TONY ROYSTER JR - MONTREAL DRUM FEST 2012

And they mess up your technique! :evil: They really can. I admire Roland for their advancements with electronic drums, but like we've said before, they sound and work best when doing anything BUT trying to mimic/duplicate real drums. They are their own instrument. If someone digs it, and wants to d...
