Hi everyone!
My name is Dan. A-drummer for 25years, with a short diversion into electronic arena in the Simmons SD9 days. The days spent with it and my Yamaha TX16W, and Alesis drum machine left my hands, elbows and mind weary.
I am a hopeless gear whore. Just 5 years ago got bit by the drum building bug, and many builds later I have just about all my bases covered tone-wise with anything not needing AC power. Built myself a wife and neighbor friendly concrete encased studio under my garage that lets me woodshed at anytime I get the urge......bye-bye my 41year old self asking mommies permission to play.
I play in a 4 pc rock band that gigs as frequently as our families let us. We play mainly our own music but mix in enough covers to fill out the night. This brought me to the Roland SPD-s, which I just purchased this morning. I wanted to add some texture to our originals and in process I am excited to loose my tamborine, jam blok, vibraslap and side snare that cluttered my left side rack.
I found this forum and immediately was overwhelmed by the sheer wealth of knowledge shared here. I am ready to get my hands dirty and get INTO the SPD-s guts......don't worry I can swim pretty well but don't hesitate to throw me a life perserver if I go under
