Slim asked:


I know this may seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to use a guitar for consistent bass on a drum and bass track?

My drummer is comfortable playing drums at 180bpm so I was wondering if I could play bass at that speed.

If so, what effects would be recommended to make it that little more punchy with more bass?

How many BPM’s do you think a good drummer should be able to play 16th note bass drum beats with a single pedal. I’m talking like drummers in rock/hard rock bands.

I was told that drummers learn special patterns that a non-drummer wouldn’t know. are there techniques, sites or books that help a programmer get better with the drum box.

I am a guitarist and I do not own a drum set, but I do have a keyboard with drum kit presets and I also have Fruity Loops 8 so I can easily make my own loops, but they don’t sound too real. I want some rock/pop/punk/blues drum loops that sound really nice and are in a variety of rhythms. Basically I want to make it sound like I have a drummer. Haha.

MOMSTER asked:


Our youngest son is going to be graduating from high school in May, and we want to get him a drum set for his grad. gift. He was on the drumline all four yrs. in high school. He’s a good drummer, but has never had a set of his own. He hopes to continue to play, maybe in a band someday, too. Would it be better to get him a regular drum set or an electronic set? Our budget is about $2,000 or so.

Bddrumma asked:


Hey everyone. I am new to the recording world, and I finall have a decent pay check and some money. Instead of saving for a car, I decided to save for a recording studio instead. I am a drummer first and foremost, and have been for about 12 years now. Therefore I wish to purchase drum mics first (after the board and software of course). Anyone out there able to link me a site, or tell me of some decent mics. They don’t have to be cheap, I am looking for quality. Thanks for the help!

Ozzy2495 asked:


Ok, well i’m a drummer and i want to post videos on YouTube. But i can’t record while the music is playing and me playing the drums at the same time. it sounds horrible. there are a few people i know that download music without drums and add that music to the video, but i don’t know how to do it. I just want the singer, bass, guitar and whatever else is in the song. not the drums. can anybody give me a website where you can find this kind of music to download? thanks a lot.
