Topics about musical instruments other than guitar should go here. There's bound to be a Carter, LeRoi, or Yo-Yo Ma out there.

beginning drum - Update

Unread post by dmb_tatertot » Mon Aug 02, 2004 1:09 am

hey everyone, after 12 years of playing guitar and 11 years of piano, i decided to take up some beginning drum. Anyone have any suggestions on good practice pads / equipment and training methods??? Low budget here, just wondering.

You would really be best off going to gutar center. They handle this stuff and they will get you some good starting equipment.

they are good, but not a beginner set. Espeacially not a yamaha. fucking expensive things. I have a yamaha recording custom 7 piece (same as Carters) and its an absolute beau. Now I need to work on Carters cymbals to get the complete setup.
