Title: Every Drummers New Best Friend!
Post by: CarlosVegaJunior on January 02, 2008, 01:41:31 PM
LGM,

So... i got this new toy and i think every drummer should have it.

In gospel music there is not too many percussionist... probably because you cant really play shout music with a cowbell and timbales... lol.


But... I think every drummer should have a few snaps, claps, 808 kicks, and the ocassional bongo/cowbell in their setup. This new toy of mine comes with some nice sounds but you can also sample sounds and/or loops.

It's a Roland SPD-S and its about 300 bucks new... Anyone else have it? Have question?

Check it out...

Sweet overhead view, man. 

...yeah for real.  I see the Remo Hybrid Head Combo and the lovely DW5000 series pedals.  I have to pick up that 5000 Hihat stand to complete my collection.

Indeed. 

I use my 5000 hat stand combined with the Pearl rubber "washers" (part NP-210/2) as well as the Pearl rubber seat washer (part NP208).  It brings more clarity to my hats (as if the Meinl Fast Hats or HHX Groove Hats needed more clarity, lol).

Yeah man I got one when they came out, its on my list of top things every giging drummer should have. It does way more then just playing Latin percussion.

...yeah, the first time I saw it being used was when I was watching Sean Paul on SNL and his drummer was doing all of "that genre of music's" ;) popular contemporary sounds and voices.  He was also triggering Lil' John's "Yeaaaah".

I have the MPC 2000XL AND THE ONLY BAD THING, when playing live, IS THAT I CANT HIT IT WITH A STICK! LOL...

I got one!!! I think it the one of the tightest pieces of gear ever!!! It sometimes trips people out when we're playing a song and then all off a sudden they get hit with a couple of 808's. One of My favorite patches is the "Perrfect" patch....this is foreal Ya'll...a worship patch...LOL!!! ( I would post pics....cause sometimes cats be lyin about what they got....but that ain't me. I'm just used to the easy upload thing that LGM doesn't have or I dont know how to work....1 of the 2.) ZK
