| Take up drums at age 56? I hear that the cymbals on the lower end kits sound like trash can lids.I think if I decide to go acoustic I will talk to the local guy who refurbishes kits. I think he could get me in the door for around $500 and probably with better gear than a ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? REM - Fables of the Reconstruction | |
| Take up drums at age 56? Fortunately I'm probably the least OC member on Audiogon.....in regard to audio anyway. Plenty OCD in other areas. But I prefer CDO.....so that the letters are in alphabetical order............. | |
| Take up drums at age 56? @jc4659 : Appreciate the offer but I'm way down in South Carolina. | |
| Take up drums at age 56? @lowrider57 : Correct. There is a brand new Tama set and a Ludwig for about that price. I'm sure they are low end as well but more than enough for a beginner. I'm guessing a better bass pedal and cymbals could improve that if needed over time.But ... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? Thanks @jc4659 . Good info.Today at lunch I made the mistake of going by our local music store. It is not a chain store but is very large and well respected locally.I went in to get a new harmonica. My previous two had non-functioning reeds.I got ... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? Thanks for all the great replies guys. This really helps. @bdp24 I think probably my biggest hesitation would be that even if I learned to do it I don't have any way to play with other musicians. I don't even know anyone to play with. So while it ... | |
| Take up drums at age 56? I've never seen Step Brothers. I can only handle Will Ferrell in very small doses.I can't get the "@" function to work to tag bdp24. But he is a professional drummer and I'm sure my drumming aspirations will sound silly to him. Although I'd be int... | |
| I woke up with cold ears My hearing _perception_ changes constantly. I think the variables are countless and I'm certain mood has a lot to do with it.Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) can be a real problem. When severe you feel like your head is in a fish bowl and nothing... | |
| Check out this reviewer Okay. I just watched his review of the Schiit Mani. He absolutely gushes over it and claims that there is a large "gulf" between it and its nearest priced and some higher priced competitors.I'm assuming a lot of serious vinyl-philes would scoff at... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? I guess my approach to cars is about the same as my approach to hi-fi. Use what I have and enjoy it. I’ve got a 2007 350z (quite pedestrian and slow by today’s standards) but I take it to the track and thrash the hell out of it 4-5 times a year an... | |
| Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile? The music. | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? I'm pretty much done. And happy. Maybe something for streaming if Amazon makes hi-res available for cheap. But that will cost less than most of you guys wall outlets and power cables. ;-) | |
| WANTED: A remote control for my Audio Research CD1. @eebart, that's what I was saying. I've contacted AR. They did not have remotes for my unit and indicated they did not keep remotes for old components in stock.@cleeds : I could be wrong but I don't think it is a problem with the remote. In other ... | |
| WANTED: A remote control for my Audio Research CD1. The Harmony remotes work on my AR LS-16 but only a few of the functions. You cannot change inputs with the Harmony. Pretty much just volume. So a Harmony helps but it is not the complete solution. AR does not stock old model remotes.....not that o... |
