Do we not have a drum section?

If I could find one, I'd post this there. Get more cowbell here ;[]

She's amazing. This girl was a true inspiration to my son who latched onto John Bonham after watching all of her videos. He started woodshedding and learning songs.

Apparently she moved to the Oakland and is studying drums now in the U.S.

Posting here for lack of a batter place, if you love drumming, is this not the birth of rock n roll?

I think it's neat that all those old jazzers used big kick drums. Do companies even make those large diameter bass drums anymore for kits?

Drums will be covered by Hans in Vol. III.

Tell him to look up George Fludas. He's the current foremost authority on all things Bonham. (There were other self proclaimed ones from the preinternet days that have since been found out to be all BS. One even wrote a book about tuning claiming to have been teching for Bonham from 77-80....just to have Jason Bonham ask who the hell this guy is many years later because he'd never once touched one of his father's kits.

Yes, but mainly as "signature" kits. Like the ones that copy Bonham's kit.




But nothing like this...

They definitely do! I plan on upgrading my shells to the 26" bass drum 3-piece Brooklyn series (in the sparkly orange wrap) https://www.gretschdrums.com/drums/brooklyn

Here is my current set up

 

[Cougar]

Wow, she's got quite a kit, and the chops (literally ) to go with it!

Good to see the young girls getting into hard rock drumming, this girl Sina is amazing:


Of course the man who originated that awesome drumming, one of my favorite drummers, Cozy Powell, working on that very intro:

This is why I play guitar.

Assuming that Yamaha does some creative cross branding....

Oh, let's hope not.

Absolutely they do. Right now, however, smaller drums are back in vogue. Many sets come with 20" bass drums, but all the drum companies make 24," 26," and some even make 28" bass drums. I just took delivery of a DW/PDP set in 10," 12," 14," and 20." I needed a set for small space gigs.

For me, a 22" bass drum is the ideal size, with 13," 16," and 18" toms.

My old Slingerland kit has 22" bass, a canon, but oddly, the 13" tom outbooms the 14" has lower natural pitch, it's bizarre.

The other oddity is the 20" 2nd floor tom.

I've been rearranging it - I took away 3 toms - and the cymbals - took away 2 cymbals - drumming my head off yesterday, working on Bonham triplet inspired grooves, really getting somewhere all the sudden with ease. At dusk, I had to stop to attend a doggie funeral at a neighbor's - my buddy with the '53 D18 - burying the dog the boys have had their whole lives, and we're standing around the fire, it turns out drums carry surprisingly well and my bass drum just booms and the older boy tells me that it helped him dig the grave, the cadence.

We are all connected, even when you don't realize it.

I recently had a bass drum built to match a snare I had built in the 90's. It's a 10X20, but it sounds bigger. Baltimore Drum makes some of the sweetest drums you'll hear.



I have another BD kit with a 22X18 bass. Might have to cut it down to 14 for fear it will crack my foundation.

Bonham had been known to add a kicker to his bass drum, tho I can't find a picture of it, green sparkle I think it was.

Something like this.

What do you make when someone hands you a canon?

Canonade ;[]
