my chemical romance. Banned Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 18584	November 28th, 2007 at 08:28pm mae crash.: If you're able to, I'd buy a cheap beginner's book. I'll try to find one of my old drum books and scan a couple pages for you, though. And I'll find some old basic beats in my binder. But I have to find that, too. I was led on that I was going to get a Pearl set for Christmas, but that seems almost impossible, now. I've had my shitty set for four or five years now. Atleast there's a possibility for my birthday.

They aren't as good as a real kit, however, they are great for people who cannot have a proper kit. This one sounds great, and has several kits in one, so it's not half bad!
never coming home. Bleeding on the Floor Age: - Gender: - Posts: 1526	December 27th, 2007 at 08:00pm ---I've always tried to use tabs and it never really worked out so well so I just put my iPod on shuffle, turn it up really loud and play to the song.

They aren't as good as a real kit, however, they are great for people who cannot have a proper kit. This one sounds great, and has several kits in one, so it's not half bad! I also have an electric drum kit. It's not the exact same as this one, but it's pretty close. The sound quality is pretty good, but sometimes the pads wear out and you have to replace them. (or at least with mine.) I've just actually got them on my birthday and have been getting lessons for about 5 months. I love the drums, and I'm not half bad if I say so myself. Right now I'm just learning the basic rock beats and how to read the notes, but I can't wait 'til I get into the actual full length songs. I'll also be getting a drum set probably on my next birthday. EDIT: for people who are thinking about starting to play the drums, I advise you to first get the electronic. You'd be amazed at how much they sound like real ones. You really get alot with them. You can change the sound to different type of drums, and they come with headphones so if your parents don't want to hear you banging away, just plug them in.

(at least for an electric kit which doesn't double hit when you hit it once) Where do you buy new pads for your kit? (I think one of mine is broke, it misses out sometimes when i hit it >.<

And, where I bought mine...(GuitarCenter) if you contact them and let them know, they will reach the company and ask them to ship some out. =) Where'd you buy your set, it might be different.

Boys Night Out Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2684	January 18th, 2008 at 10:35am Alright, I have a question... I've never used tabs before, so I'm totally lost. Can anyone explain to me how to read them? (ex.)Paramore-Misery Business: F\|o\| C\|X---------------\|----------------\|----------------\|----------------\| H\|----X---X---X---\|X---X---X---X---\|X---X---X---X---\|X---X-----------\| S\|----o-----o-----\|----o-----o-----\|----o-----o-----\|----o---ooooo---\| B\|o-o---o-o-----o-\|o-o---o-o-------\|o-o---o-o-----o-\|o-o---o---------\| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + C\|X---------------\|----------------\|----------------\|----------------\| H\|----X---X---X---\|X---X---X---X---\|X---X---X---X---\|X---X---X-------\| S\|----o-----o-----\|----o-----o-----\|----o-----o-----\|----o-------f---\| B\|o-o---o-o-----o-\|o-o---o-o-------\|o-o---o-o-----o-\|o-o---o-o-o---o-\| 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + obviously not the whole song.
Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616	January 18th, 2008 at 02:04pm c = crash h = highhat ( I presume closed) s = snare b = bass I find tabs harder to read than music (drum music is much easier to read than music music) , as they often don't show quite right. Basically, play the high hat through, and add the other peices to make them fit.
Boys Night Out Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2684	January 18th, 2008 at 02:36pm Yeah, I agree...Reading the sheet music is way easier. Thanks, but one more question... What do the x's and the o's mean? lmao.
Simple and Clean Salute You in Your Grave Age: 30 Gender: Female Posts: 2616	January 19th, 2008 at 06:54pm ohhh I remember! the x is closed high hat, and a o is an open one. Not sure what a foot high hat is >.<
Boys Night Out Salute You in Your Grave Age: 31 Gender: Female Posts: 2684	January 20th, 2008 at 11:29am Thanks! And that's okay! lol, that helped though. I probably still won't get it. hahaa. Ah, well.
