Yeh, I thought of that except my 16 yr old son covers his ears in pain and I hear absolutely nothing? I agree though, I might be able to here a little higher on better speakers

Yep, went with the roland and even I am having fun on it. LOL, Brain damage. Yeh we noticed that to so I sort of tucked it in between the HH and Crash. Hopefully it will be safe there.. They should put a raised foam edge about 1 inch high around the perimeter of it. At least that would reduce the risk a bit.

Went and got the Roland TD-3 Kit and its very good so far. Well built IMHO. My son plays guitar and needed the drums so he can rehearse at home once he finds a drummer. Will use it for recording as well. He also plays drums. So now we are thinking something along the lines of behringer B-215A active speakers and a 8 to 12 channel mixer. Also could buy some used rentals Yorkville NX55P for about $550.000 each at long and mcquade. Would either of these be ok for a small to medium room 100-175 people. We would likely run drums , 1 lead guitar, bass and vocals through them. Could add a sub but I am thinking the 15 inch speakers will be ok for now. Any thoughts?

Whie I understand that 2 screws in the cover for the truss rod is a good sign I still am not sure about this one Please give me opinions on this http://saskatoon.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-...QQAdIdZ97337224

LOL All their cards are 5-8 times the price they should be. too much crack or something Wonder if anyone has bought one. Would have to pawn a guitar or amp or something http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/med...-cards-upgrades

Am I missing something here Check this price from Musiciansfriend on SD cards http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=475675

Looking at setting up a rehearsal area in the basement for my son to practice, write and possibly basic recording. Need to keep things fairly low volume . he is buying a Roland TD-3 kit to continue writing his own songs as he plays pretty much as well as his drummer did Here is my thinking, please set me straight if this sounds goofy. What he has so far. Gibson SG Standard Zoom G2 effects pedal Crate Tube amp Shure SM58 mic Boss RC-20 Loop station Zoom H4 recorder Roland TD-3 kit next month Now as for a PA system, I am thinking powered speakers and a mixer as opposed to powered mixer and speakers. Want something inexpensive that will sound good in a small room at home. BUT, I am thinking that it would also make sense to get something that would be capable of playing for a small room of 200-300 people. I hear that a lot of guys wont use electronic drums live but for a small gig in apinch a cant see why not. Could probably achieve a great sound overall in a lounge setting. Would 500 to 600 watt speakers be enough and say a 12 channel mixer. Been looking at Yorkville - NX55P 550 Watt 1x12inch Powered PA Cabinet and maybe a behringer mixer. Would the behringer speakers compare. they seem a lot cheaper. Please let me know if I am on the right track. I really know nothing about this stuff. thanks

Yep, I agree with your point. There are some songs that I can see might make a difference but only the ones that I listen to specifically for the picture , image , or memories that are triggered by the lyrics and thus might be altered with information to the contrary. In My case however, those songs are very rare. And by the way, I absolutely love spanish cooking

would the facts surrounding a lyric / song change your perseption of the song ?

As a follow up to this Some of the convenience stores are now puting loudspeakers outside blasting 17.4 khz to keep teens from hanging out in front of the store. They cant stand it. Us adults cant even hear it. So, Parents want some private time, now you know what to do:)

Can barely detect 14000 HZ . 46 yrs old Could this mean there is a lot we are missing and does it mean that some of the mixing levels might be pointless for an age group. Couple links here to test your hearing. Post levels and your age for some fun http://www.freemosquitoringtones.org/ http://www.flashpresskits.com/hearingtest/

So then, why are there no songs about oranges

I believe your observation is universal. particularily in the Pop/rock/metal/country genres Is it genres..........genre.....moose..mooses

Yep. You are so right .they have played to 200+ crowd and he was pumped. He would play every weekend if he could. Needs to decide whether to get another drummer as they havent rehearsed in 2 months due to level of committment. I might fill in been 20 yrs but with a little practice who knows. Thats another story though and posted in another topic.

your right I took my son and his bass player to a blues bar this afternoon.They have an open stage every saturday. Today was primarily guys jamming mainly Rhythm and blues and some great soloing. Some weeks there are a few kids get up but not this week. Christian was intimidated needless to say. Bar was full and all the jamming was seasoned musicians. Well, the guitars stayed in the trunk of the car as i suspected they would ,but after leaving , they both agreed it was something they wanted to do. So next weekend or maybe the wekend after we will go again. I told Christian he could play a Nirvana cover or something like that and if his bass player comes they can play a couple of their originals. I assured him that the host drummer will do just fine even with their originals. We will see what happens
