...drumming is one language dawg. Whether you're in Cali. or I'm in Florida, it's all one. I understand what your mentor is saying doc'. If you read Modern Drummer Mag. and any other Drum Mag. you will notice that this term is used often; Drumset Musician vs. Drummer. It's not that deep though man. Your mentor knows what he's talking about.
that's what I wonder sometimes. once everything is mic'd, eq'd, and processed in the studio, who really knows? i started to put some music on here, and ask everyone what size and material was the snare, and what material were the toms and kick. But i never could figure out how to upload music on here. when i figure it out, i may still do it.this is why i was questioning the descriptive words that some were using to explain why they like each wood. bright is not usually used to describe maple, and warm is not usually used to describe birch. i didn't wanna start a fight, though. i just thought it was kinda odd.
Yeah you should definately upload some music cause Im sick of everyone tryin to act like they can instantly tell the difference! I will upload a clip and give $100 to the first person who guesses what shells Im using! No mics. No eq. raw drums! Who's up for the challenge?I will send the video to JFunky so that he can see the set and the shells. Then I will upload the audio from the video so that you guys can guess the shells. What do you think J? And I promise to give another $100 to the person who can tell me what heads I'm using!
What are the characteristics of basswood & phillipine mahogany? Seriously.
...the characteristics are "cheap sounding drums". lol ...Seriously...it will still be a phillipine mahogony type of sound. You know, ringy and many overtones. The basswood is used as filler wood but the dominant wood will still be the P.M.
So, it's pretty much the same as poplar? Speaking of which, what kind of poplar is used in Exports?
...100% Poplar, what do ya think!? Gosh!!
...dude, seriously.....I don't know. Poplar is at the bottom of the pole buddy. I'm not even going to do research on it.
Alright Fre...here ya go:Poplar:Poplar is derived from fast growing straight medium hardwood trees and is a less expensive alternative to Birch and Maple. Its finish can be somewhat green in color and is therefore used in the inner ply layers as substitute for more expensive and less plentiful woods. It takes on more of the tone of birch or mahogany than maple. Basswood:Basswood is a great less expensive hardwood that mimics the sound of Maple to some, mahogany to others. Yet it is more plentiful and gives the manufacturer a price advantage. It in many ways is an upgrade to luaan, or ramin and is often used as a core wood with a bit more of the lower register tone to it than realized out of maple. Its more like mahogany than maple.
...lmbo@Freddy and E-R. I guess one man's junk is another one's treasure. lol....by the way, if you find an older Export made from Mahagony, buy it and keep it. I've heard many stories on how those are way better than the Poplar ones. There were even a few pro's that have used them on Live gigs. ...I think Sticksinmypocket has one of those.
Why not invest in something nice? Aren't you worth it?
