Featured Very rare Ella Mae Morse 1954

and drums are always louder bj the drummer used to throw a pillow or small blanket in there to muffle the bass drum , and some duct tape with some toilet paper in it on the skin too muffle the snare

 

thanks lloyd, i knew you'd be able to give me some ideas / info on how this can be done! I carry rhe rubber pad w the drum so i can muffle it when i sing, but there's really not many songs that cannot stand some added drum beats! Tape and small pads look very do-able, thanks! I plan to buy that beater thing next, one with good padding, and look for a hard sided overnight bag instead of a larger, louder bass drum. I have also learned to drum softly, although that is generally followed by wild and abandoned drumming after practice is over!! haha!!

 

ya me too lol it lets off tension i have a record called drumming with hal ,teaches the straight 8 , the shuffle and stuff ,he just died here a few months ago he must have been very old lol he played with all the greats look him up
Hal Blaine (born Harold Simon Belsky; February 5, 1929 – March 11, 2019) was an American drummer and session musician estimated to be among the most recorded studio drummers in the history of the music industry, claiming over 35,000 sessions and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one, as well as many film and television soundtracks.

 

i'm also an electronics tech, so i used to keep everything running good that was a job and a half because they love to break everything at the end of the show lol i have it on video hehehe

 

can't tell you how many times i had to glue and screw this vintage straty together for the next show lol it still plays and i have it now , just have to wait for hollywood (shaun) to get famous , he's supposed to be playing on a recording with 54-40 this year

 

autographed 54-40 guitar i picked up

 

thanks I will look up Hal , I have no idea of drum terminologies yet.. I will check into Hal Blaine too, thanks for listing his names here. I have used youtube instead of paying $45 for a half hour of instruction. Im sure the time can come when I will want some lessons, but not sure how soon that time should come? so far, i have been concerned to watch the posture and stick holding techniques. trying to get started without a lot of bad habits that will need to eventually be altered lol. thanks for all helps!

 

i watch a few drumming vids at youtube also taught me the two snare hits with one stroke two kicks with one stroke stuff like that , you can invest in a double kick also to keep your left foot busy as for stick handling it's what ever you feel comfy with, now ,but i watch the greats and they all hold the right palm up left down . like ringo

 

g n r rocks

 

here is another few

 

i have seen most of my albums live concerts not janis , i miss her lol

 

I remember that Roy Orbison from when I was a wee one, my Dad was & still is a big Orbison fan, he has seen him live in concert. I remember hearing this record Every Saturday at home, great childhood memory.

 

i was at the alice cooper concert when he fell off the stage (drunken bastard lol) , suzi quatro was backing him up ,the next day i bought a couple of her albums loved her ever since lol.

 

i have only ever sold 2 records one was to my moms friend , the four seasons double album set , have never seen it again to rebuy it lol , and the second was dreamboat annie by heart , i sold it to a friend , sellers remorse right after lol

 

i used to write my name on them ,on the centers , but i stopped after awhile , 4 times my stereo was stolen out of my house (b & e )and they never took my records .

 

You will have to go on a record dig and make it a quest to find them!

 

haha they have miles on them also lol from vancouver to windsor ont. in 75 , then back to van then to sask in 79 , then back to vancouver , then to sask again where i lost one in my dads trunk , and been here since 1989

 

had friends and family look after them for years at a time hehehe

 

Your collection must be pretty incredible though.

 

one time when i was in van a my dad was is sask and he was at jims looking through his records and he spotted my name on some and said hey these are my kids records hehehe jim said i left them there which i did but i got them back lol
