In the studio setting up some triggered sounds, going well, only gripe is... Why aren't power leads longer???

After using Paiste 2002s for years I started looking for cymbals with a much shorter controlled decay. I didn't want to get in the way of the vocals all the time. I liked the sound of the Sabians on a Rockschool Grade Six performance video - I contacted the drummer to ask the identity of the cymbal set up and they turned out to be AAXplosions. I bought a 15" cymbal as a test. I fell instantly in love. It sounded like someone was catching/damping the cymbal every time I hit it. I loved it. Just what I wanted. I bought a cymbal pack for an incredibly low price even on credit. The set also came with a 21" raw bell dry ride. I've not looked back. #drumset #drumkits #drumsets #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #teamcode #gigging #giggingdrummer #groove #groovedrummer #pocket #pocketdrummer #inthepocket #pocketplayer #passion #passionfordrumming #soul #funk #reggae #ludwigdrums #ludwigrocker #ludwigacrolite #sabiancymbals #sabianaaxplosion #vocals #backingvocals (at Heather, Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bl-zlK7HPr7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17pyh5j52c3lq

A pair of unused 1970s Ludwig brushes. Care of @thedrumbunker.

Taptonic play "Sway". Part One Most arrangements I have heard feature a bossa nova with additional percussion. I'm playing a rumba over a samba foot pattern - this "off the cymbals" approach gives a lighter more bouyant feel whilst still being quite busy. Took a bit of practice to play the samba pattern consistently under the undulating stick work on top. Worth it. #taptonic #taptonicband #sway #drumkits #drumsets #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #gig #gigging #giggingdrummer #groove #groovedrummer #pocket #pocketdrummer #inthepocket #offthecymbals #drumgroove #jazzmusic #swingmusic #jazz #ludwig #ludwigdrums #sabian #sabiancymbals #samba #rumba #sambafootpattern (at Sileby & District Liberal W.M.C)

I play two solos in Jacuzzisoup @jacuzzisoup_band and they are quite different from each other. The first is everyone's favourite, Wipeout, which I endeavour to play as per the original sticking - an accented single stroke workout based on a cadance. Not technically hard but challenhing from an endurance point of view. Been playing this solo since my early twenties but now playing it better than ever. The second is a more standard solo building up to a cresendo with lots of cymbal crashes, which I play during "You should be dancing". I originally played this as fast sixteen note single strokes but now use a combination of double strokes and paradiddles - my first "technical" solo. Using a more technique oriented approach makes the whole thing much easier to play than before. And more importantly, it sounds great! #wipeout #drumkit #drumset #drumkits #drumsets #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #gig #gigging #giggingdrummer #groove #groovedrummer #pocket #pocketdrummer #drumsolo #drumsoloist #function #band #functionband #ludwig #ludwigdrums #sabian #sabiancymbals #vocals #vocalist #backingvocals (at Royal Oak - Rothley)

Fixing up my Ludwig floor Tom to double as a portable bass drum.

Loving the new @gibraltarhardware. Flat based. Lightweight. Strong. Adjustable. Just the best hardware I have ever used. Getting easier to set up every time - flat bases require a little finesse in positioning, as you can imagine. Over the years I've used Pearl, Tama and Yamaha - single braced Premier has been my favourite. Its always been a balance between stability and weight. Too much weight and transportation is impractical. Too unstable and I couldn't trust it to hold my cymbals and drums. But this stuff is outstanding. So easy to carry. Everything in one bag when I used to have to split between two. Once set up, I forget about it whilst I play. Which is how it should be. #drum #drumkit #drumset #drumkits #drumsets #snare #snaredrum #bassdrum #kickdrum #floortom #racktom #acrolite #ludwigacrolite #ludwigacrolitesnare #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #ludwig #ludwigsnare #ludwigrocker #ludwigrockers #ludwigdrums #sabian #sabiancymbals #sabianxplosion #sabianaaxplosion #sabianaaxplosioncymbal #sabianaaxplosioncymbals

Another outing for my custom* Ludwig Rocker - this time at the Dirty Duck with @jacuzzisoup_band. This time I used 14" AAXplosion hi-hats; 18" AAXplosion crash; 10" Stagg splash; 21" Dry Raw Bell ride. After this gig's experience I still think I prefer the 20" AAXplosion crash in place of the ride. BTW at the end of the video you can see the TEMPO app which I use to check my tempos during the gig - my secret weapon. Also the #pellwoodsticks I've been using since the start of the year. * courteousy of @thedrumbunker #drum #drumkit #drumset #drumkits #drumsets #snare #snaredrum #bassdrum #kickdrum #floortom #racktom #acrolite #ludwigacrolite #ludwigacrolitesnare #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #ludwig #ludwigsnare #ludwigrocker #ludwigrockers #ludwigdrums #sabian #sabiancymbals #sabianxplosion #sabianaaxplosion #sabianaaxplosioncymbal (at The Dirty Duck)

A game changing little device - a foot operated vocal effects pedal. The TC-Helicon VoiceTone R1 Vocal Reverb Pedal. We have been using our Studiomaster mixer for Jules’s solo gigs but it al aye seemed like over kill. The we saw our friend George Mason at one of her solo gigs and she was using one of these babies. Incidentally, we had originally looked into getting one to add reverb to Jules’s vocals but opted to get a mixer so we could use it for the band. I have been trying to simplify or solo gig set up and this seemed the perfect solution. And now we’d seen it used by someone else. I was able to grab one from eBay for a great price. #drumset #drumkits #drumsets #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #teamcode #gigging #giggingdrummer #groove #groovedrummer #pocket #pocketdrummer #inthepocket #pocketplayer #passion #passionfordrumming #soul #funk #reggae #ludwigdrums #ludwigrocker #ludwigacrolite #sabiancymbals #sabianaaxplosion #vocals #backingvocalsonfleek (at Leicester, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MEGHCgzh0/?igshid=1e9rnr6ghqfv9

Sabian Raw Bell Dry ride. As much as I like using my 20” crash as a medium cymbal (crash/ride) nothing beats an actual ride cymbal. Particularly one as characterful as this one. #drum #drumkit #drumset #drumkits #drumsets #snare #snaredrum #bassdrum #kickdrum #floortom #racktom #acrolite #ludwigacrolite #ludwigacrolitesnare #code #codedrumhead #codedrumheads #codedrumheadendorsee #codedrumheadsendorsee #teamcode #ludwigsnare #ludwigrocker #ludwigrockers #ludwigdrums #sabian #sabiancymbals #sabianxplosion #sabianaaxplosion #sabianaaxplosioncymbal #sabianaaxplosioncymbals (at Pirate Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8EJFaOAVjm/?igshid=1w2l0tm75ex70

Before I go on to talk about today’s story about my first drum lessons I have included notation showing how I started to take Bob’s lessons and adapt them. This is the syncopated sixteen note beat that I liked to also play using eight note and quarter note ride. On with the tale. Still things were going really well when Bob hit us with some awkward news. He was moving his drumming practice to Leicester. And he kind of expected everybody “who was serious” to go with him. I however had other ideas. I didn’t fancy travelling all the way over to Leicester every week and I had spotted amongst the shelves amongst the bookshelves in the book in the music shop a particular book that I thought would serve just as well as the teacher would. Bob‘s comment about only serious drummers going over to Leicester to carry on having lessons with him jarred with me somewhat. This was because a few months earlier he had made a quip in a lesson about there only being one guy amongst his students he considered good enough to “make it”. I didn’t like that very much - in fact if anything spurred me on to work hard in bands and prove him wrong. But I would do that without his continued lessons.
