Hey all,
I think merely signing up to this forum caused a disturbance in the force that my credit card felt from across the room, but aaaaanyway
I've been an on-off guitarist. Primarily interested in metal, but also electronic music. I'm thinking of getting an electronic kit, cos I think it would improve my rhythm, and it just looks like too much fun bashing away
I still live with the olds, and my brother in the room next door gets migraines, and an accoustic kit wouldn't fit in my current car (2 dr coupe), so electronic is pretty much it for now. Everyone I know says no metal local bands will play with an electronic drummer, and may as well use a drum machine, but I'm hoping to give them reason to rethink that (might as well aim high...).
Gene Hoglan, Portnoy, and some of the swedith death/black metal drummers would be my influence, so I guess decent technique will be a must. I've got a lot to learn. I've never hit a drum in my life, and it's interesting trying to learn the E drum terms as well as the generic drumming terms at once.
I'm eyeing off a TD9KWS (Aussie release of the TD9 kit with the rubber toms), and would be getting a double kick pedal later when I've learnt the basics. A friend tells me it would be a good kit and I might just want to add one tom and another cymbal. The main thing I'm concerned about is learning on an e kit and then later moving to an accoustic kit and finding things work differently and getting messed up because of it :P Cos noone here wants to play live with e drums, I so guess an a kit will be inevitable once the skills are up.
Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself Still reading up, a little while off buying Oh btw, it's annoying to see that we still have to pay a fair bit on top for these kits compared to what the US pay, esp since our dollar is so close :P
Ben.
