Drummer's Lounge - EVERYTHING ABOUT DRUMMING and GEAR (kits, cymbals, sticks, etc..))

[Bonzter]

Here's a little friendly tips guys: The most important essence in playing drums(musical instruments) or in form of art is the Creativity and the feel. Speed is just like a salt you need to lay in to make it tasty. Hehe.. I usually dig to different genres. From Rock to the complex jazz and fusion. My advice for all aspiring drummers is. Practice, Dedication, hard-work Discipline, Patience and the importance of Basic practice. Whatever genres you play. Always remember to play because your in the band or as a part of the art.

agree ko sku migo nga c Bonzter...playing with the feel is to me the most important thing in drumming, its the foundation of your playing...then you add speed and technique to enhance the groove=)

Cool gears there guys.. I don't really have drum set, since I am playing for 8 years. I only have is my double pedal. hehehe.. The Gibraltar Avenger Double Chain cam. But I'm planning to save up for my gears also. Mag pratice rako sa balay sa ako friend or sa Music School sa Asian Academy of Music sa Raintree Mall wherein I recently teach there. Dili man gyud mag matter ang brand sa Cymbals. As long good quality gyud imo gi use. It depends on the artist taste and views. And for the pedal... Most likely it depends also. Many Drummers uses with chain cam. Like Virgil Donati, Dennis Chambers and other great drummers uses chain drive pedals. It depends on you improve your skill. Just Practice...practice....practice.

Maynta naay drum community diri sa Cebu sa? That we can meet ug mag share sa mga ideas ba. Like also the successful guitar fest nga gi held sa outpost.

Mao ni akong set nga gigamit sa church
Yamaha Stage Custom Drumset and hardwares
K custom dark Crash 18" (right side)
Avedis Rock Hi-hats 14"
Avedis Ping Ride Platinum 20"
Avedis Thin Medium Thin Crash 18" (left side)
Simple ra. But I'm planning to add some splash and a China. Maybe I'll get The Oriental China 18".





By the way I'm Osbourne Cafe.
a drum freak also, teacher and a sessionist.
Gi career man gud ni nako. hehehe
Most of the time I play in our Church (citichurch)
Naka perform nako ni Raki Vega, Luke Mejares and some other local bands here in Cebu.

@EZRA i love your set bro.. Just like the set-up of Ryan Uybengke (if you know him?) but most likely he uses all Zildjian Cymbals. And your son looks great on the drums. Also the set.
@xen_lex: Broadkaster na nga gretsch bro? cool kaayo! I wish I have that set-up. hehehe. Makahinumdom lang ko ni Stewart Copeland sa imong set-up


Good day!
