As far as I can figure the pedals are, from the left:

Hi-hat 1

Not used, there's no tension on it.

Main kick pedal

double pedal for main kick drum

second kick pedal

second hi-hat pedal

Also note the headphones.

By the way, in case anyones confused, the reason for the double kick on the main kick drum is because they will be tuned different. I'm pretty sure the fake pedal is in there to simulate a double kick for the second kick drum.

I prefer these:

Simple yet effective. And it doesnt sound like rock shite. And it doesnt take up your entire living room. And its just as expressive.

Djembes (or whatever the meatal ones are called, I've got a wooden one and a clay one, can't remember what that's called either) are more expressive than a drum. Shove your hand up the hole (fnaar) and move it in and out. How could a rock drum kit ever give you that expression.

Djembes are the african ones, mine is a doumbek and its from turkey and is made of aluminum (kinda cheapo)

To be honest I prefer a computer for putting together beats, I'd like to see a drummer with a traditional drumkit write a convincing 180 bpm breakbeat.

I agree, but I'd like to hear a computer do a convincing 80bpm song.

Horses for courses, use the best tool for the job.

Note to drummers: I did NOT just call you tools, before I get any abusive pms

I used to play around on some bongos... lots of fun.

My timing isn't good enough to go for le big old drum kit. But I can bongo pretty well.

BONGO BONGO!
