Custom drums are specifically designed to fit your musical needs and go with your specifications. Typical drum kits come pre-constructed with a snare drum, at least one cymbal, bass drum, and toms. But, what if you want control over the types of drums that go in your kit? Custom drums are the perfect option for you. When you purchase custom drums, chances are you a serious drummer with specific musical tastes.

Handmade Custom Drums

Building a drum set made entirely of handmade custom drums can be rewarding. Handmade drums tend to have a more complex and interesting sound than generically manufactured one. To find handmade custom drums, look for companies or people that specialize in this craft. You can locate the companies online or obtain information using word of mouth. Having drums custom made for you by hand allows you the unique opportunity of providing your own specifications to develop a one of a kind percussion instrument.

Custom Drums for the Handicapped

Besides that, custom drums can also be created to accommodate drummers who are handicapped. The drummer from Def Lepard, for example, has only one arm. His custom drum set includes more foot pedals to compensate for his missing arm. You can also find custom drums that use different materials or have different sounds.

Making Your Own Custom Drums

Another option is that you can make your own custom drums. Before you start doing this, keep in mind that people who make drums by hand are incredibly skilled. The slight abnormality can alter the sound and integrity of the instrument. If you are series about making your own custom drums, it is best to take lessons, especially if you are a serious player.

Final Thoughts

Having your own custom drums and custom drum set can make you stand out from other players. Your own custom drums can help you develop your own unique sound and style. Though handmade and custom made drums are usually more expensive than regular drum sets, they are definitely worth it.

A Floor Refinishing: Sanding


Image : http://www.flickr.com


Flooring - some from the Baroque period of 1625 to cover some of the most famous Royal properties in France - not as a nightmare few thought it would be of bodywork. The main objective is like the grain of the wood parquet ninety degrees from one field to another, and how this squares on milling wheat.

Patience is the key!

Parquet secret ground so that the grain will not be affected, is patience.That's right - patience. Most of us want to hurry and get the job done and over done. Make rent a drum Sander and a couple of attempts on the floor, wipe the stain of polyurethane to protect everything, and the tree ... You're done! But if you want the best results are patience, as well as a good, old-fashioned hard work.

Although Sanders will drum the job done quickly, there are two potential problems in dealing with them. Number oneUnless you are a true professional, with one of the big ones, you run the risk not only spoiling the grain floor, but also from reality, making the big gouges in the wood, that can solve any amount of the adjustment. The large orbital sander can make rent this danger, even if they are a bit 'lighter drum control Sanders.

Use smaller Sanders for better control, less dust

Alternatively, it is a proposal to use a handheld orbital sander. The work to makeTake a little 'longer, but the potential to ruin the beautiful parquet floor gouging is close to zero. Maintaining a much better control over the machine, you can also do a better job. These small dust Sanders even less, so that one less thing you have to be, when you are fighting this work.

Many are (with pockets like a vacuum cleaner!), To catch the dust, so that all you have to do, it's usually empty. Smaller, 3-4-inch belt sander can also be used forMain open part of the ground speed things up a bit ', but you must use the orbital position of the edges and maybe even a paint scraper (hand tool) to get the last remnants of the old surface angles of view.

Reduce the abrasive grain

Another tip for finishing wood floors that has to do with patience, with sandpaper in a decrease in the level of granularity for the best surfaces. Depending on how bad the old floor, you start with a grain naturally enough, maybe even 20 Kdeeply scratched floors. For an average working body, but it is very likely, you can start with a 60-sandpaper. From there you can take 100 and 150, and finish the job with sandpaper 120 for a smooth-as-possible surface.

Stain, polyurethane, wax or oil

After the adjustment, the choice is yours whether to stain or not. You can then polyurethane - three layers to get the best - or you can choose, the simple application of tung oil, or goWax. You have the hardest part is grinding the middle so that what is done at your side, but the most important thing to remember is to enjoy a great new interface on your amazing too parquet!

Dubstep Mixing Guide - Kick and bass mix


Image : http://www.flickr.com


In this part we will be looking for a cut down, and mixing football and bass drum.

Low Cut

First, you want to add a low-cut filters on every track, except the bottom. You can use these wherever you want, but should not be less than 90 Hz, as there are other frequencies interfering with the bass. With approximately 200 Hz, you will start losing punch, 3-400, and is cut muddiness.

Mixing the Kick With the addition of a low-cut to 70/100hz,Using aggressive compression at a ratio of 6 to 8:1, and a very fast attack (from 1.5 to 3.5 ms), with about 8DB gain reduction, so the addition of a Mid Boost 3/4DB (3-5kHz standing) and boost (6-8kHz), the case is much more in the dubstep mix. Power Tip: When using compression for the attack may dubstep most important factor. The most common error when people are starting to think that is the very attack that the sound is improved, but the function of attackactually have control over how fast the compressor starts to work, actually a long attack on a powerful sound and will not affect compression.

Through the use of 1-4 ms by dubstep dubstep kicks and snares so they are natural "snap") the tone (in milliseconds before the compressor starts and then compresses the rest of the sound. The bass drum is the 2nd most important element of a dubstep track and was the strongest part of 0dB peak on a desk and digital3 DB on an analog desk. It may be strange, in between, and tips on adding a bass "drum sound, 'but if you listen carefully, a classic 909 kick, you will notice much of its impact is actually in the higher frequencies, go ahead and perform a low pass filter on a 909 and you will see that is pretty pathetic up. It took a while 'to learn, I did happen to my kick down to about 200 Hz and has never been received, it sounds good.

That was because I had taken all the energy ofBass. Here are the attributes of the drum are the boom: This is the bass, which takes in the belly, is about 80-110Hz The Smack: This is the area of attack and the area to hear that most of the stops as the definition matches found in 3-5kHz area, I tend to make relatively high up to 5 or 6 dB, with a big D. The Click: This works with the use of the smack and the massive support for the establishment of a bass drum in the mix, which is located in the 6 to 8 kHz, again a strong increase in this areaworks well to define the drum. The peat surface: a thin band between 250 Hz to 300Hz can be effectively removed all the unwanted mud (mud and especially the clarity of the UN) recipes compression: to strike hard: the ratio 8: 1, 10dB gain reduction, 3ms attack 200ms Release In Your Face: 6:1; 8dB gain reduction, 2.5ms attack 200ms release subtle: 3:1, reducing the gain 6 dB, 4ms attack 200ms Release Mixing the Bass: Good starting point is that an EQ to remove any muddy andThere have been slight increase in your take on more.

If low light than playing football with a cut up, removed the upper end, where the lower end. Then, the equalized signal to a compressor with a ratio of about 4:1, fast attack, and reducing the gain of 4dB. Avoid contact with the spirit that you can not EQ the sound in a certain way because it sounds different from how it should sound, he is also working with football and a private room or the resultA messy end with the lower call rate. You can hard / dirty dance music, good product and has a good separation. The subgroup of low ranging from 30 - 60 Hz, but may slip as 100Hz. Try to get under the law, as sub sounds too bad on a system of small, but it might cones or amplifier, and a larger shock. A good way to check is to listen through headphones and long term for a few seconds before it should, football makes it buzz,and the sub so that they buzz the same amount. If you are really busy due to go on the low notes as pause, then roll some areas with a lower shelf 49khz with 2 or 3 dB of gain reduction removes the excess energy in the region of sound. There is now a good idea to add a hi open, has set a gross volume, and then listen to see if there are harmonics that there is between the real and the Netherlands are the hats. If it againParametric EQ catch the bass frequencies and out.

The ride cymbal is the custodian second most important moment of pelvic types. Is usually the largest swimming pool of your organization and has a nice open sound. Ride Cymbal variable thickness, which have an impact on attack, volume and tone of the sound.

The bell or a center dome is large enough, in general, which can be used for the different accents in a specific rhythm or pattern on or off beat. Crash Cymbals are designed to emphasize oneRhythm. Big Crash Cymbals work well or extend the current selection, or to limit the number of tanks needed while traveling all over, like a light.

A children's pool is the smallest of the collapse of the family. Have the same purpose, but their use is different. Splash pool sounds great when you beat in line with a snare or Tom. China Basin is to be used often as a pool for children. Chinese have the unique shape of the pelvic types. Clash dishes by hand or flatPlates are used for identical pairs and a plate in each hand and falls, the two played together.

Bass Drums - Preventing Slippage

The low index (also known as "kick") drum is something that can be eliminated. Many consider playing drums more fun to play the bass part of a series. There are only a small step on the pedal, but a little 'fun more than meets the toms with the poles. Then connect the pedal can be fun as a process of "creeping" occurs, the impact on how you can perform.

Creep is what happens when football starts slowly, as the drummer used the pedalagain and again. This is something that usually happens slowly, but at the end of a series of songs, and drummer sometimes need to deal with her body in a position to forgive just to reach the pedals.

There are a couple of things to do to make your escape you cash as you can play them. To begin creating the bass on a small rug to help to slide so far. If a smaller rug is used, it is important to make sure it is big enough forHis throne was able to adapt to the carpet. This prevents the full set to leave at a time.

Once the low was set on the rug or carpet, you may install the best to have the legs, sharp peaks. The ends of the legs are positioned so that the tips are capable of digging in the carpet. You do not stab the carpet, but can be useful to gently press down on top of the drum after spot on the carpet, if you need itbe.

Many people believe that it is enough with their kicks to stop the creeping, but when he continued to move there are still some things that can be tried. Try the front legs so that in a corner, which are a bit 'steepest increases.

The best results, be enough space between the front and rear of the drum so that you can place the palm of your hand. If the scan so on, after this has happened, try to bridge the gap and see what happens. After asteep angle will help to move more weight on their feet. This in turn will help us to be reminded legs effectively.

Anther thing to do, some people have problems with which the insidious placing a heavy object in front of the drum. This could be something of a big rock on other musical instrument. Although this may help to place, there are problems with this method.

One of the biggest drawbacks is that it touches a pointThe front was the sound.
