Hi all - UK drummer (TD12)

[Asholay]

Hi everyone!!

I've been prowling this forum over the last week in anticipation of purchasing an electric kit... and am over them moon as I bought it last night!!!! So it's time to formally join the group.

I've been drumming since school (i'm 25 now), and played in various bands - lots of live perfomances... all on accoustic though. I did have an old single unit Yamaha set of pads to play on, which kind of set my opinions on electric kits as being pretty naff...

As I can't play drums at my house (I give my neighbours enough grief), I've been getting rusty, so I did some research into electric kits. I saw some superb demo videos of the TD12, and starting looking straight away.

And here I am! So helllo!!

Hi and welcome aboard!
Congrats on your TD12 purchase. Enjoy

[Asholay]

Thanks - I did... until 1am last night

I think most of it was spent on "melodies" kit mind...

[SuperPuss]

I can totally relate to that!!!

Hello and welcome on board!...

yes staying up to 1 exploring seems familar somehow...

[Fullback32]

Right on Asholay! You're gonna love that TD-12...good choice.

[Asholay]

Hell yeah..! I'm itching to get home from work!!!

I would have gone TD20 if it wasn't such a huge chunk of money; all the preceeding models seem to be so closely priced, it made sense to go with the 12...

It's a slippery slope... 1am........ then 2am.......then 3am........ you get the picture...

...and then there's GAS!

Hi Ash. Good you could join us. Another Brit for my list.

I didnt start till 12.30 this morning.

Well its better than sleeping. (What a waste of time that is).

[Asholay]

I already want to get another cymbal... so it's GAS time already for me unfortunately!

Hi John - good to hear it, sleeping is indeed a complete waste of time... you started where I left off by the sound of it (although I only stopped because my right arm was killing me from playing along with my ipod - now that was good fun)

[Shorty]

Trust me. This is where it starts!

I have already bought another cymbal and a KD-120 kick. It's a slippery slope my UK drumming compadre

Welcome in, V-drums for the win

[Asholay]

You're damn right - couldn't resist going to the music shop at lunch time... bought some lighter sticks and a new throne - only just managed to stop myself getting a Big Dog double kick pedal, but I'm pretty sure I'll cave in soon lol...

Oh dear!!!! You have almost certainly caught the GAS virus! 14 months ago I had never played drums before and didn't even own a pair of sticks. Have a look in my signature for the results of chronic and advanced GAS!!!!

Its terrible, GAS is...I never even thought about headphones before reading these threads, and now I am saving up for a ATH 50...after having ALREADY bought a good pair....I got it from Herl who got it from Stijn, and stijn got it from Puss who got it from michael...and maybe, mind you, i said maybe, we'll give it to you...

apologies mr lehrer....
