Be sure that drum kit is not on a floor that is easily damaged, like hardwood. When my brother got his first one, mom and dad made the mistake of letting him keep it in their livingroom at first. That foot pedal made a real gouge in the floor.

I appreciate the heads up! (Or foot down, or whatever applies here.)

I sure hope that Master Clements has a sense of rhythm.

This could turn into a never to be forgotten holiday for our Emm.

Learning to fiddle is one thing but an apprentice drummer, well that's something else altogether.

Still and all, from small acorns..

Slan,
D.

You certainly have!

Word dat!

Emmline, how will you ever know what it means if someone says, "It goes to eleven"? Or drummers combusting spontaneously?

You're right Fly. I'll have to find out. But it may help to know that the
drummer in question here already has a keen interest in such concepts
as spontaneous human combustion.

And you imagine, Dub, that imperfect percussion will jar the otherwise blissful silence we keep around here?

golly, I thought this thread was going to ask how to change a drum brake assembly.

I think you need to get out of the shop for a while...

Derek Smalls: We're very lucky in the band in that we have two visionaries, David and Nigel, they're like poets, like Shelley and Byron. They're two distinct types of visionaries, it's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water.

That's it! That's why I'm like I am.

I grew up with a brother who is both a drummer and a fiddler.

My cousin, David, had a drum set in the upstairs of his house. Luckily, he was an only child and had the upstairs space all to himself. He was good, though, and the whole neighborhood knew it. He was on TV once, but that was so long ago that they still had test patterns on during part of the daily broadcast times. Probably not many people here can remember the test patterns. Or can you?

I remember them. barely.

I remember them. It seems like my dad would jump up and fool around with the TV when they came on. Were they something to adjust the contrast and fuzziness to or what? I found them very annoying.

Hey Em, did you remember to tighten the down rod pin that attaches to the bearing pivot? You better go do that.

Yep. And I eased the torque of the dual flanges, as well as stabilizing the pan fitters.

But seriously. Are you yanking my chain, or referring to the hi-hat rod thingy?
