| Take up drums at age 56? Lots of good advice. The consensus is no matter what your goal is and whichever type of drums you choose, learning the rudiments is key.I must take exception to the statement that "drumming is all in the wrist."All the great drummers know that for... | |
| Best 80s New Wave Very true, n80. I'm trying to think of other bands from the 1st wave who changed their colours. | |
| Best 80s New Wave I saw UK Squeeze in ’77 in a small NYC club. They were part of the punk invasion and were cursing and spitting on the crowd ala Sex Pistols. It was an ugly scene.Their early stuff is not at all like the band who later became Squeeze. | |

| Take up drums at age 56? @n80, like our hobby here, there are always upgrades and tweaks with drums; hardware, pedals, cymbals, heads.And before you know it, you're ready to move up to the higher line of kit. | |
| Take up drums at age 56? You can find a nice used acoustic set (brand name) for $450 | |
| Take up drums at age 56? I say go for acoustic drums. There's nothing else that can provide the feel, the sound and the satisfaction of striking real heads whilst hearing and feeling the resonances and vibrations of a drum kit.If you start with an instructor, you will be... | |
| 3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase? OP... I just want to clarify that Audio Note preamps and components are tube driven. Preamps have a tube gain stage and power stage which includes rectification and regulation tubes.If you can find a used AN pre or linestage, grab it. They have wo... | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve Erik, I agree this measurement is overlooked by many audiophiles (except by the technically oriented).I look to see if the curve is relatively flat. As you state, a clearly defined hump is common and usually acceptable. If the specs of the speaker... | |
| Rega Neo, MC & MM mkiii wal-wart Upgrade I own an upgraded Swagman LPS as well. Very impressed with the build quality and the sound. It produces a black background and adds weight to the music. Mine is designed specifically for digital. There's no excuse to keep the wall-warts when there... | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? @mickeyb, I lost my riding buddies once they started having kids. I can understand that.And there's no way to go all-in on both hobbies at the same time. There's the time factor, do you ride or do you listen on your day off? And then there's th... | |
