drum bum

Id check out yamaha Rydeen Mapex V series, Pearl forum, tama swingstar, Rockstar, If the guys pretty new to drums then these kits should take a pounding, ideal for beginners and ready for gigging. Yamaha's stage custom Nouveu's also a tidy kit at a great price, I was getting told about these kits today and apparently they sound fantastic and look great. Dont be fooled into spending load of money on a drumkit, If you spend 600 quid on everything then that should be enough. If you cant spend 600 quid then get a session pro and change the skins and get a cymbal starter pack. Not much cheaper but your sorted.... Mike Long live Masterworks.......

What linux setup are you running? Also what hardware are you using?

I had a few problems running linux with the terratec 24/96, but with all the hassle and me upgrading my comp during the year, i think i choose windows running cubase and reason just for conveinance. I have a dual boot system and have been using redhat for years and I love it, but for me you cant beat windows for convenience. Linux suffers from driver issues, the hardware companys make drivers for certain distros and certain products and the operating system its-self is always in constant development. Windows on the other hand is different, it comes out every couple of years all ready to use and backward capable with all the hardware you've been using. I would'nt think for a moment upgrading the soundcard or video would be easy as pie, because sometime's you can end up with a mess, with the saying "Its easier to re-install than to re-configure" going through you mind. Using linux friendly componants is you best way for success. Do you know how much hassle i had to go through to get linux to reconise my Zoom adsl modem and use PPPoA mike

Im looking for a couple of Roland vdrum cy12s with boom arms that attach to md10 - cash waiting Im selling purple pd120 dual trigger pad. 175, I would trade pd120 for cy12s if you would prefer.. Mike

Why don't you just buy a practice pad. There not that great for practicing rudiments anyway.

For a beginner there ideal. You might want to get better quality heads, and replace any cymbals (The ones that bend when you hit them) that come with the kit also get rid of the hardware. You might want to try out a pearl forum or Mapex V series.
