Drummer Talk 01/16/2006 – Custom Drum from A to Z(ed) (Part II)
January 17, 2006 in Gear, Podcast, Tips/Hints/DIY by Dave Kropf
We finally finish part 2 of Custom Drums from A-Z(ed) with Bryan Rumfola. Plus we talk all about bass drum drum head choices and the many options for you and the Pearl Reference reference returns. Oh, and Steve Gadd swings by for a visit!! (P.S. I know the sound is a little peak-ish on this episode and the background music is a bit loud but please bear with us. It was a crazy sound night last night.)
Note: part I can be found here.

The DW pad does look sexier and sports a slicker strap setup, but c'mon, DW. BTW, once you get past the feeling of looking like a complete moron wearing the Nee ...

The EPCRD (Evans Power Center Reverse Dot) is Evans' answer to Remo's Controlled Sound & Emperor X snare heads. Just like a G1 it's a single ply 10 mil head, the only difference being the little 5 inch, 5 mil patch on the underside of the head. The little patch looks a little something... like a dis.
Most people think of heads with dots being two ply heads with a really heavy and dead snare sound. ...

Alright then, this is the Sonor Giant Step Middle Pedal... which is a really long name to type out so I'm gonna abbreviate it as GSMP. This was the last pedal I used before I sold my drum-set for reasons I shall not disclose. The Giant Step series is Sonor's high end line of pedals and all share some basic features. Most of which I appreciate, one of which I wish they would have made ...

Matt Ritter is just your average drummer. Outside of having his own dvd, the chances are that you've never heard of him... and probably never will. I've just got to say flat out that I don't like his playing from a musical stand point... it's flat and boring IMHO.

This dvd is kind odd in the sense that it accomplishes two very distinct goals as opposed to one vague one. The first dvd in the set is like a clinic with general drum technique in mind. The second one is like a themed showcase concert, the theme being the history and development of the U.S. beat. I'm extremely satisfied with the set as a whole but the second dvd is the thing that makes ...
