Cesar asked:


I bought a couple new drum symbols and i know how they can get damaged easily by miss caring them. One way to prevent them from loosing there sound is by cleaning them regularly. I want to know what is the best way to clean them with regular house hold items. I already know about the lemon and baking soda so I’m looking for more options and different strategies. I don’t want to buy a product from guitar center so again, regular house hold items only please. Thank you

Esteban Torres asked:


Well, basically the question is this:

How can I get a good kick drum sound on my recordings and make it stand out?

Whenever I record drums, the only thing that doesn´t seem to be audible is the kick drum, the snare and cymbals are ok, but not the kick drum.

How can I solve this issue?

If you need more info, please let me know.

Thanks!

I like drum and bass but hate the stuff thats just a beat with some effects chucked in (like the majority of it is). What are some cool songs that are catchy and actually have singing in them. I love songs like: In love- Andy C, Shark in the water- Blame remix, and loads of pendulum etc. So if you have any please say!!

sean asked:


I just bought Rock Band 2 for the PS3 last week and it’s addictive but I feel it improving my drum chops a lot already. My only complaint is that the pedal is a little hard to use. Since I have a nice electric drum set, I was wondering if there was anyway I could somehow connect my electric drum set up to my PS3 (at least the kick pedal) and play using it instead of the Rock Band drums. Has anyone tried this and been successful? Any tips or advice would be highly appreciated!
