my biggest problem's been the bass. i know rod-typr bass beaters are a available, but they're not worth buying if you're not gonna use them regularly Call me Markus www.catnipcreations.co.za

I find keeping the cymbals quiet, yet full sounding is the biggest issue. I used the wallet on the snare drum to keep that quiet. The good news is they loved us at the gig. The hotel was one that had an indoor water park and the company that owns it is building a second one in the south side of town. Hopefully it will result in a couple gigs a month just from those.

It does take disclipline to have an entire band play quieter.. It is good practice.

I too think the wooden multi-rods I'm used to weigh closer to my wood sticks than do the Flix type.. But I'll look at some of those again... Steve Studio Technologies

That's the hard part for me too...keeping the cymbals quiet but still sounding good. It's almost impossible to do with regular-weight cymbals. Much easier with very thin cymbals like Zildjian's "Paper Thins" and thin K's. They sound nice and full when played softly. Problem is being able to afford a whole other set of light cymbals. Lee
