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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stripey Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundian Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I'm pretty sure the fake pedal is in there to simulate a double kick for the second kick drum. Hmmm. I don't think there's a fake pedal there. He has two hi-hats on the left side. As far as I can tell, from left to right it's - Left side Hi-hat 1Hi-hat 2Left side of left handed twin pedalRight side Right side of left handed twin pedalsingle kick pedalHi-hat 3I think you're right about different tuning, they could even be different sizes. He has the option of playing double kick on both, or just on the left one. Quite unusual as he's probably a right-handed player. I think all the hats are remote cable types, but maybe one of the left ones is a stand, can't really tell. It's a Tama Starclassic kit, so there's a good few thousands worth there. Can't say I'd like to play it meself though. That's his 'other kit' too, I'd hate to see his main one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundian Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'll have to take your word for that then. Why is the tension so low on the second (standard hat) pedal though (especially since it's open)? I have to assume my assumption about the different tuning of the two kicks is right, cos I can't see any other reason for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris the teuchter Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 the reason for the 2nd pedal from the left having no tension is cos it actually hits a cowbell if u take a gd look.i have bongos. but im gonna have to get my hands on a djembe!

You obviously never heard playing for Star N Garta's Live breakbeat extraveganzas at trhe University Union (1998 I think).Must have been at least 180 bpm easy .

M Hucknell Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 That was a few years ago and although Badger has dellutions of past fitness the only way this was possible was through vast quantities of amphetimines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedal is infact as previously mentioned the pedal for a remote hi-hat -FACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Rocker Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 The pedal with no tension is the clutch, and the cable has eaten through the bulkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
