For The Drummers Out There...

Here's a fun one......too bad most of Gene Krupa's stuff was only put on film in the movies. There doesn't seem to be a fucking film from that era that doesn't have Krupa in it somewhere. Gangster scene car chase, out of nowhere there's Gene and his band.

I read that Gene was a big influence on Keith Moon.

From watching this clip I can see where Keith's act came from.

Good stuff!

In the late 80's / early 90's I used a Double bass set up with 4 on the top / 2 on the floor + loads of cymbals etc.

These days i find less IS more, as I find I am more creative with just a Bonham set up and a twin kick pedal.

Bullshit. Post photos or fuck off !

Ever use the Remo Fiberskyns? Used to love those heads, for the snare anyways.

Here's a cool website.
Fiberskyn 3 - Snare Drum Heads

I've never tried them. I had Pinstripes for a while, then switched to Coated Emperors for a long time and recently went back to Pinstripes. I'm using the Coated Emperor X on the snare and I get a really thick sound out of it.

I use no muffling in my kick and it's earth-shattering, I love it. Last weekend, I was recording some demos at a friend's house and I tested out the kick and he came running downstairs thinking there was a gunshot or explosion.

Love the pinstripes and use a coated emperor myself.

Dig the '87 kit there. Dude you never said you played in Anthrax!!!

But I bet your current kit sound 100 times better!

I have always used pinstripes since about 85.

So much easier to tune, No constant rings to gaffer up etc and great for the studio.

Black dot remo on the snare.

That's my snare right there, the Super Krupa COB, plain ol' 8 lugger. I lovvit.

I had lost 3 snares to theft, but I picked this one up in 06 just passing thru a pawnshop and they didn't know what it was.. stole it for $65.
