Picture the little drums you get at a tourist joint or toy store. It's a cylinder, with some sort of rubbery fabric on both open ends, and they use that plastic cord to string them together and tighten them. You could use rubber bands to hold the fabric in place while you string it together. Or just the rubber bands.<a href="http://www.completeschools.com/"> Debdeb</a> A large can like a coffee can was my thought too, but I’d use muslim or some other taut fabric instead of paper, and a rubber band.

]]> Comment on What looks better on a college application: high school marching band or being in a drum corps? by Andrew http://www.bestdrumshop.com/blog/what-looks-better-on-a-college-application-high-school-marching-band-or-being-in-a-drum-corps/comment-page-1/#comment-6160 Andrew Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:15:15 +0000 http://www.bestdrumshop.com/blog/what-looks-better-on-a-college-application-high-school-marching-band-or-being-in-a-drum-corps/#comment-6160 ahhhh college apps. Colleges care about quality over quantity (really!) Not saying that you shouln't do both, but they will be mostly impressed at the amount of time you will put into it and how much leadership you put into it. I preferred marching band because it was a definite four years for me to show leadership and let myself be reallllyyy devoted. and its tons cheaper than joining a drum corps. so its not really which one looks better. In which one will you be more successful and have more leadership? If you can do both and have leadership in both for all four years that would look very impressive!<a href="http://www.greatjewelrydesign.com/blog/"> Andrew</a> ahhhh college apps.

When you go into a recording studio they are using state-of-the-art equipment to obtain the optimum sound possible from the drum set. A modern studio uses great mics through top of the line recording gear with tons of processing including effects, and E.Q. Once the basic sound is dialed in then they spend many hours, if not days or weeks to perfect that sound. This can include sampling the sounds and re-triggering them to combine multiple layers of sound. In a live situation you still have the mics and sound board with major processing capabilities that can totally change the sound from what is being played to what you hear out front. I have worked with plenty of "big" bands and you would often be amazed at how the drums sound acoustically compared to what they sound like recorder or in a live concert situation.<a href="http://www.goldbuyingguide.com/buying-gold-canada.htm"> gtarczar</a> A big part of that sound has nothing to do with the drum itself.

Is he planning to play in a band some day? Do you want to hear him drumming all day? Does he want to "JAM A LONG" with his favorite CD? (great ideal by the way to learn). I bought a Roland, TD-8.
