Hey Everyone.
I love seeing so many drummers in one place. Bonzo is by far the greatest drummer to grace this earth. As for newer drummers, please check out Derek from FFTL. He's pretty mental. Normally I hate people that use double bass pedals. It's cheating. You can do just as much on a single pedal as a double. At least a single takes some skill. I do want a double bass pedal just for kicks (note the hilariously unfunny pun). It's fun to mess around on sometimes. Right now I'm on a 2001 six piece Premier kit in a beautiful Mahogany finish. Two offset mounted toms, two floors, snare, kick. I'm using an amazing Tama pedal right now. I only use Sabian cymbals. I have I believe, 7 cymbals on my set right now:
-12" Crash
-16" Crash
-14" Crash
-10" Splash
-20" Ride
-16" China
-and a massive 25" Ride from my old Cronet set from when I was like, seven or eight.
I've been drumming since I was four. I am now 17. I am currently in two bands: A Red Light Love Affair (Screamo-core), and Studslonigan (80s Metal/Rock). I also have two solo bands going. One is Topenga, where I play all the instruments in a normal band. Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards, Vocals, etc. I have an EP out now (Pedal K). I also have a purely acoustic solo thing going under the title Comforting Carly. Just me and my acoustic. I'm actually recording in my dad's studio tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a couple tracks down and set up a purevolume site. For now, keep rocking, and check out:
