A few drummers have talked about getting together again.

Just throwing this up to see if anyone is interested ? Then we'll pick a date.

I'm in.

You're jealous because guitar players just couldn't pull it off.

And I need to point out to any new Rockpage drummers - that you're not a drummer.

Would any of you get there on time?

I would love to eventually make it to one of these. They are often quite a drive though.

Hawk,
Maybe you could do a clinic on your mounting device and how to get the dang mount off of a Yamaha drum! I can't budge it! That's OK though, I saw and heard it work first hand and it is ingenious. Reduce the size of the bounce control screw, make it real pretty and I think you've got yourself a winner. It works!

Hawk · Post by **Hawk** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 4:27 pm

Thanks Clint. I could demonstrate it, but it wouldn't make much of a clinic.

I've been thinking along these lines. Randydrummer is so well versed in many genres, I'd like to have a "Ask Randy" get together. He might cover a bit of blues (my needs) jazz, big band, rock, etc..

I don't want to embarrass him (you) but what do you think Randy ?

If I can wrangle the time, I'd love to come. But, with my work schedule, I haven't been able to make one since we were at Ed's house in Tyrone last year. Still want to introduce drummers to my Saludas.

Clint, maybe you could hold a clinic on how not to forget your Tom mount before a gig!!!

Sorry Hawk, not.

These guys will NEVER let me forget this.

We played a private party last Saturday, in Johnstown. I forgot the mount for my single mounted tom.

I called my daughter, who came to my house and put it on the front porch for nakedtwister to pick up.

In the mean time, my son stopped home, saw it left on the front porch and he took it in the house. Then nakedtwister stopped to pick it up - and it was not there.

I played the gig with only a kick, snare and floor tom.

So I way over played a multitude of splash / crash cymbals.

You guys always have so much fun, i gotta say i'm jealous.

I'd be willing to do a forum on diverse styles. If there's an interest, I'll put together a little something. I have tons of experience playing every imaginable style all over the world. If nothing else, it might spark some ideas for the guys interested in fusing different styles together. Lots of talk about the whole "fusion" thing lately.

Randy, thanks ! I think that would be great.

I think drummers would learn (if they don't already know) that some things you do for one genre can fit into other genres. Like some jazz things can be transferred to some rock.

I have not been on this forum long but I would love to go learn more. I think this is the best way to learn.

Here is an extremely cool video (about 30 minutes) of a guy dissecting Latin rhythms into a very understandable form. Yet when he puts them together, you begin to see the complexity they hold.
