The are so many chess sets on the market today that it can be very confusing when you are trying to buy one. Chess sets are either used in playing or as a decoration in the living room or den. Chess sets are even used as centerpieces for libraries and studies. Some chess sets are even considered as heirlooms and are valued for their collectible quality.
1. Determine Your Reasons
Are you going to play with it or you going to use it for decorative purposes only? If you are going to play with it then look for a practical looking set. It should also fit your personal taste in the style.
2. Price
It is advisable to buy the best quality chess set that your budget can afford. A good chess set can last a lifetime and can even become an heirloom. You will definitely be admired by your friends when you take out a beautiful chess set. Of course, a finely crafted chess set can enhance every chess players’ playing experience.
3. Tournament Guidelines
Unless you are using the chess set for official tournament use, you can do away with considering the size of the chess pieces in relation to the board. Nevertheless, the general guideline is that the King’s base should be 78% of the width of a square. To get this, divide the King’s base diameter by 0.78 and you get the proper square size. You can increase the square size by 1/8, but the square size should not be any smaller. This info is valuable if you are buying the pieces separate from the board.
4. Durability
Choose an extremely durable chess set if you are planning to use your chess set daily and take it to tournaments and clubs. A weighted plastic chess set would be a good choice. If you need a handy chess set that you could carry anywhere then it is advisable that you get a travel chess set which are small and compact. These kind of chess is usually magnetic or pegged to protect against bumps and jolts. The boards can be folded and the pieces and pawns can be kept inside. Travel chess sets ara available for for somewhere around $20 A very basic one can even be had for $10 or less. You may even find miniature ones sold in most dollar stores.
6. Special Considerations For Wooden Sets
If you are buying a chess set that is made from wood then choose good quality wood. Wood is definitely a good material for a chess set. They are very impressive to look at and the pieces feel very solid. The only disadvantage is that they can be really heavy and are therefore not ideal for traveling. Wood chess sets will definitely be a great addition to your home or office. Wood sets and the prices can range from 50$ to as high as $5,000. In general, ebony is more expensive than rosewood, which is, in turn, more expensive than boxwood, etc. Exotic woods are more expensive still. There are less expensive sets that are made from oak, pine or walnut. In buying a wooden chess set let your budget be your guide.
7. Check For Uniformity
When buying a chess set check out the pieces, particularly the knights which can represent up to 50% of the total cost of all the chess pieces. The quality of the turnings, the finish and the uniformity also add to cost of the set. You must also check the craftsmanship of the King’s crown that is usually decorative. Keep in mind that the King and the Knight are two of the most important pieces of a chess set.
8. Decorative Sets
Chess sets that are made from crystal or bone china are generally termed as Glass. These sets are commonly used for decorative purposes but you can also find glass sets that are practical. Crystal pieces are generally heavy while china pieces will feel a bit light unless they have weighted bases. These kinds of chess sets are definitely nice to look at but they are very fragile and will break once they are dropped. They are also easily dirtied by dust and fingerprints. Although beautiful to look at, the pieces will break if dropped and fingerprints can become a problem on some models. They’re dust collectors too. Many people keep a glass set for looks and another type for actual play. Glass chess sets average in the $300 to $2,000 range.

After watching this historically successful Broadway show, you will feel that the Lion King tickets are worth every single penny that you paid for them! Adapted from Disney’s famous cartoon movie, which in turn was based on the book by Roger Allers and Irene Mecchi, this hit Musical show has broken all records in Broadway productions and has achieved new technological heights in theater art! While the animated movie was cute in its own childish way, The Lion King Musical will touch you to the very depth of your heart’s core!
The vibrating music by Elton John and Lebo M., together with the superb acting of the 40 member cast, will rock you with laughter and move you to tears! You will find yourself singing along with the cast and watching the show like an enchanted kid as the majestic scenes of the African Savannah unfold before you, brought to life on stage by set designer Michael Curry and Lighting specialist Donald Holder!
A Broadway Success All The Way!
The Lion King tickets sold out for the very first time in July 1997, when the show was premiered at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis, MN. Needless to say, it was an instant hit with audience from all age groups! And it is still going strong in theaters across the nation, even after 10 long years! People aged 30 or 40, or even grandparents, come and watch the show, forgetting that they are too elderly for fairy tales now, and later leave the theaters with the same child-like wonder in their eyes as their children and grandchildren! The Lion King Musical has got to be the best family show to have ever come on Broadway!
Winner of six Tony Awards – Best Musical (Elton John and Tim Rice), Best Director (Julie Taymor), Best Choreography (Garth Fagan), Best Scenic Design (Richard Hudson), Best Costume Design (Julie Taymor) and Best Lighting Design (Donald Holder) – The Lion King Musical created new benchmarks in theater production. The lavish sets, the stunning effects, the captivating music and the life-like acting of the cast, all serve to make you sit glued on to your chairs throughout the 3 hour show once you have bought the Lion King tickets for your family and have entered the theater!
Theatrical Feast!
Julie Taymor has managed to create a spectacular visual feast out of Disney’s golden animation! The rolling landscapes of the Savannahs, the rich variety of animals, birds and insects brought to life with human acting, masks, shadows and puppets, and the swirling Pride Rock, where we first see Mufasa and then Scar, standing in the exact same place but with totally different emotions on their faces! And these are just a few of the special effects that have helped to dramatize the cartoon version of the story on stage!
If you really want to experience this magical Musical in its totality, then you must go and watch it today, with your entire family, because it is not every day that you get to spend such quality time with your entire family! Book the Lion King tickets right now through secure online servers of authorized ticket booking websites and have them delivered right till your home!

How to Deal With Arthritis When Your Doctor Wont
Arthritis is an umbrella term used to cover many types of pain and disease. It is a term many doctors use when they don’t know what is wrong and they don’t really want to check it out.
For instance, several years ago my doctor told me I had arthritis in my back and there was nothing that could be done about it. He gave me a prescription for pain pills and said I just had to make the best of the situation. He never did an x-ray or ran any other tests.
Several months later I could barely get out of bed. I was 58 years old and felt at least 90. When I tried to get out of a chair I fell into the campfire and blistered my arm.
When the doctor saw my arm and I told him it didn’t even hurt when I fell in the fire he got a worried look on his face and said “Maybe we should see what’s going on there.”
Duh!!! I had so many pain pills in me I couldn’t feel anything except the excruciating pain in my back.
He scheduled me for an MRI and guess what? It wasn’t arthritis after all. It was a tumor in my spinal column and I was very close to becoming paralyzed.
A few years ago my favorite Uncle went to his doctor for back pain. His doctor said it was arthritis and there’s nothing we can do about it. Just take some pain pills and live with it. Finally he got so bad my aunt took him to the emergency room. A new doctor looked at him and said, “My God. You’ve got cancer. If you’d come in here six months ago we could have helped you. There’s nothing we can do now. You’re going to die.” He did.
These things happened to me and to people in my family. They shouldn’t have happened. I hope you can forgive me if I’ve lost all faith in doctors.
Yes, I know they’re human, just like us. I know they get lazy, just like us. They get tired and bored and overworked just like us. But if they’re going to be doctors and hold our lives and our loved ones lives in their hands, shouldn’t they be held to a little higher standard than the guy working on the assembly line at the local manufacturing company?
The message I’m trying to get out with this article is that we all have to take responsibility for our health. The doctors aren’t going to do it. When you leave their office, their attention focuses on the next patient to walk in.
When the doctor tells you that you have arthritis and there is nothing that can be done about it, don’t believe it.
You may very well have some arthritis. Most people over fifty do. If you have any doubts or concerns insist that the doctor run some tests. Stomp, scream, cry, whatever you have to do but get the tests. You have the right.
Do some research. Find out what causes arthritis. Search for ways to alleviate the pain and reduce cartilage damage in the joints. Did you know that some of the pain medicine sometimes prescribed for arthritis can actually cause more damage to joint cartilage while relieving pain.
Dr. Mark Stengler, N.D. says in his book, The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies, “… there’s evidence that NSAIDs and aspirin actually destroy cartilage by suppressing the cells and enzymes that should help to build it.”
There are nearly 100 types of arthritis and no one really knows exactly what causes it. Research suggests poor digestion, toxins and nutritional deficiencies may be part of the problem.
I’ve found that herbs and nutritional supplements help to relieve the pain and stiffness that goes with arthritis. Since there are so many kinds of arthritis and because everyone’s body is different not every herbal remedy will work all the time. For this reason I take a variety of herbs and supplement every day. It is rare that I need to take a pain pill. (Yes, I do have some serious arthritis. I just don’t take the doctors word for it anymore without tests to prove it.)
Dr. Stengler recommends glucosamine for arthritis relief in his book. Glucosamine does not work immediately because it must build up in your system. Give it a week or two and it naturally relieves pain without damaging cartilage and has even been known to help rebuild cartilage.I like to use a supplement that includes chondroitin and msm with the
glucosamine.
Boswella is a natural anti-inflammatory herb that works well with all arthritis. It does not accelerate cartilage degeneration and works well with glucosamine.
Bromelain, feverfew, and tumeric are also good. Take them along with boswella and glucosamine and within a few weeks you should notice a big difference in the way you feel.

Birthday Party Invitations for Birthday Celebrations
Birthday Invitations for Birthday Party Celebration!
A birthday party is one of the most enjoyable events for people to celebrate – from first birthday invitations, child birthday invitations to any age! Although once people reach a certain age, they may not relish the though of adding another year to their age, most of them always look forward to getting together with friends and loved ones for a celebration. Plus, there’s the matter of gifts – everyone loves gifts. However, before you can have that special party feeling, you or the party host need to work on those Birthday Invitations, http://www.cardsshoppe.com/party-invitations/birthday-invitations.htm
Kid Birthday Party Invitations, http://www.express-invitations.com/kid-birthday-invitation/kid-birthday-party-invitations.php
While putting together an event for adults is one type of challenge, if you’re going to be arranging a party for the little ones you’ve got to be aware of some information that absolute must be added to the children birthday party invitations. One of those details is the party’s location, obviously. However, you want to make sure that the location you choose is going to be appropriate for the age of the guests. No matter how much four year olds love pizza you’ll always be better off choosing Chuck E. Cheese over a sports bar with a family room.
You also need to include information about refreshment on the invitations birthday for children. Although not technically required by etiquette, this is just a nice thing to do for the other parents. Most of us who are parents have received birthday party announcements for our children that did not include this information, and we had to struggle with whether or not to feed our child lunch before sending him or her off to the event. Just remember the golden rule for these cards is always going to be the more information the better. Even if more of the ones you’ve received have been limited in details, set a good example for the other parents.
Other Invitations for First Birthday , http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/kids-birthday/first-birthday
Once we reach a certain age – usually somewhere in adolescence – our idea of what makes a good party changes. We no long want clowns and themes; we want music, dancing, entertainment, and fun. If that’s the kind of party you’re planning on throwing, there are some other pointers you want to keep in mind. If these are still going to be Kids Birthday Party Invitations, http://www.cardsshoppe.com/kid-birthday-invitation/kids-birthday-party-invitations.htm, you need to specify whether or not an adult will be present to supervise the event. Having an adult is always a good idea because as the host of the party you are taking responsibility for someone else’s children. You need to know what’s going on. Plus, some parents will not let their children attend an event if the birthday invitations do not guarantee proper supervision.
Additionally, the birthday invitations should provide details about the end of the party. Remember that many of the guests aren’t going to have their own licenses so parents will need to pick them up from the event. Also, some cities do have curfews for minors that apply unless the child is going to or returning home from school or work. Finally, make sure that you always include a contact number on the invitations so the parents can reach you with questions and concerns easily.

How And Why You Should Tune Your Guitar
Wouldn’t it be nice if you were able to buy something, use it at your own leisure, and then just be able to put it away without having to worry about it. Well, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but things just don’t work that way. Lets say you buy a vehicle. You’re going to have to maintain it to some degree whether it be oil changes, tune ups,or whatever. If you purchase a dog, it will need to be fed and housebroken, and when you own a guitar, there are things that need to be done so that you don’t look like a fool when your jamming your favorite riffs. You will soon realize that you must tune your guitar on a regular basis. As much as we would like to skip this step, my professional opinion would be not to.
There is a standard, as there always seems to be, involved in a guitar tuning and it is conveniently labeled the standard guitar tuning method. The standard involves tuning the strings from the thickest to the thinnest. The order should be E, A, D, G, B, E. This method is the easiest methods because it is the easiest for tuning the most amounts of scales and chords. The way to start this method is with the E string. The E string is the thickest, and the least likely to fall short of tuning. The A string is the next string that you should tune. The way to adjust the A string is to place your finger on the fret, pick the fifth and sixth strings while adjusting the fifth string tuning peg until the two notes sound the same. The D string comes next in line. The way to find the proper D string note is to find the A string that is located just behind the fifth fret. You then turn the fourth string to that note. Tune your G string to the note that rings when you put the first finger on your left hand just behind the fifth fret. The B string should sound like when your first finger of your left hand is placed behind the forth fret. You should recognize that the tuning of the B string is the only one in the method that uses the fourth fret and not the fifth. Last is the E string which is where you place the first finger of, you guessed it, your left hand behind the fifth fret on the B string.
There are other ways you can tune your guitar, but they can get more complicated. You can use an online guitar tuner. You can customize these tuners or you can use the standard method in order to hear how the note is supposed to sound. There are many sites that you can visit in order to find an online tuner, but when you find a site that you like, you should bookmark it in your favorites so that you can easily find it the next time.
If you don’t have a keen ear attuned to different pitches, you might want to invest in an electric tuner. With this device you can look at a tuning monitor to see how off-tune each string on your guitar is. Then, by following the needle on the display, you can tune each string on your guitar according to the reading being given. Even if you do have a trained ear, electric tuners can come in handy if you’re trying to tune your equipment just before a gig. Noises and other distractions can keep your ear from creating just the right sound on your guitar strings.
Other methods for tuning a guitar aren’t as easy as the ones already described. Piano tones can be used to tune the strings on your guitar. However, if your ear is not trained to tuning this way, it probably won’t help much, plus you need access to a piano. You can also tune your guitar by using octaves or harmonies, but these methods are typically for musicians who have been tuning their strings for many, many years. If you’re just a beginner, it is best to go with the easier methods that do not require as much skill and

Guitar Pro 5 Crack Mac
Many musicians over the years have fallen in love with the SG and have remained loyal to Gibson.Guitar Pro 5 Crack Mac Here is a bit of the history of the SG for you to enjoy.
Around the year 1960, the Gibson guitar makers were suffering through a sales slump. Not that the Les Paul was not selling, as it was and very nicely. The trouble was that music was evolving and musicians were looking for a sound, or tone, different from what the Les Paul offered.
So in 1961, Gibson radically altered the body shape so it was now thinner, more lightweight and now featured a double cutaway neck area that permitted deeper access to the higher frets. The neck took on a heavier construction and the neck joint was raised approximately three frets higher. This was done in hopes of competing with Fender’s Stratocaster model, which was gaining popularity then.
The new design was marketed with the “fastest neck in the world” and this was largely a fact. The neck had a thinner profile (from the side) and with the higher neck joint, the heel was no longer an obstruction, as was the case with the Les Pauls.
Another name was sought because the guitar looked nothing like a Les Paul. Since the guitar was it’s inventor’s namesake, Les Paul (the inventor of the electric guitar and the Les Paul design) asked that his name removed from the new design completely.
So, the good people at Gibson brainstormed and called the new model an “SG”. Ironically enough, this was simply short for “solid guitar”.

The Gibson factory had an abundance of plastic “Les Paul” nameplates in stock. So even though Les Paul’s name was removed in 1961, Gibson continued to manufacture SG’s with the nameplate between the topmost pickup and the fret board until the end of 1963. Finding one of these early SG’s with a Les Paul nameplate would truly be a valuable collector’s item.
Since the SG was introduced in early 1961, numerous variations have been made carrying the SG name. There was a standard model (SG Standard) as well as a junior model (SG Junior). Then the top of the line Gibson SG Custom made the scene. Curiously, the SG Customs manufactured from 1961-63 did not say ‘SG’ on them, yet they did have a Les Paul signature plate under the fret board, as did all Les Paul’s.
From 1961 to early ‘63, the truss rod cover on the SG Standard was engraved with “Les Paul”. The SG featured a small pick guard on models made between 1961 and 1965. Then, in 1966, another slight redesigning took place. Now the SG had a different type of neck joint and a batwing-shaped pick guard appeared on models from 1967 upwards.
The design was firm until around 1970 or so. The year 1971 saw the release of a new version of the SG with a floating pick guard reminiscent of the Les Paul. Also the control plate was mounted from the front to decrease construction cost.
A variety of quality tailpieces were offered as options as well. Notable ones were the “Maestro”, the “Lyre Vibrola” and the Bigsby vibrato tremolo arm. A few new designs were brought into play with the new tailpiece design. A few of these were the SG 100 (a low end version that was more affordable) and the SG 200 (with two single coil pickups). On the higher end of the SG spectrum were the SG Pro and the SG Deluxe models.
Gibson returned to the original design of the SG in 1973. The pick guard went retro to the small original pick guard and the controls were moved to the rear again and the neck was set deeper into the body with a joining point around the twentieth fret. But by the end of that decade, all the SG models reverted mostly to the old design. Current models are now made with 1967-1969 constructions, the larger LP style pick guard that encases the pickups on the SG body. Variations are still available with the small pick guard. Re-issues of the SG are common and popular.
These guitars resemble their 1960’s brothers except that a stop tailpiece is now standard. Models of the SG with a vibrato tailpiece are now a custom item or a special edition model.
The first SG that had active factory pickups was introduced in 1980. Gibson tested an SG model with the same active Moog electronics that were being used (or had been used) in a previous model called the RD Artist. This experimental SG sported a thicker body due to the extraneous added circuitry. This model was lovingly nicknamed the “Gibson SG-R1″.
The SG-R1 was made of solid mahogany with a black glossy finish. It had no pick guard, the fret inlays were “dots” opposed to original trapezoid shapes and it featured transparent barrel knobs for the treble and bass controls ranging from “0″ to “+5″ or “-5″ instead of “1″ to “10″. There was also an extra switch to activate a “boost” on the bridge pickup.
The SG-R1 had a fixed bridge with a tremolo/whammy bar standard. Gibson renamed the SG-R1 the “SG Artist” circa 1981 and subsequently discontinued it. Of these SG’s, there were only about 200 ever made.

Beginner Drummer’s Guide to Equipment and Technique!
I’ve been playing drums for a while, and I’ve noticed a few people on the nation wanting to start up, or showing some desire that they wish they could have started up. Well I’m going to try to help out and make a thread that would help outline what drums are, what good drums are, and some other neat stuff that I’ve picked up/people are willing to contribute.
Section 1- What are drums?
Drums, as I will be addressing them, refer to a kit of varying size. There are many forms of drums, such as congo, bongo, djembes…none of which I have any real experience playing. I’m not really an alternative pecussion player, but they are pretty straight forward.
A drum kit, is an assemblance of several different kinds of percussion instruments arranged in a fashion that allows one to play a beat/rhyhtm in a way that they see desirable. There are many, many derivatives of a drum kit, but I’ll run over the basic elements.
Section 2: The Basic Kit
Hi-Hat
A hi-hat is 2 cymbals (usually between 13″-15″ in circumference) that are operated by a pedal. When pushing down on the pedal, the hi-hat closes, creating a dampened “chk” sound. Releasing the pedal in certain degrees makes a more “jangly” sound, until the hi-hat is open. This is the main cymbal that is used by most drummers, as it keeps rhythm without being overbearing, as a crash or sometimes a ride would be.
Bass Drum
The bass drum is the main measure of beat keeping in a drum kit. They come in varying sizes, from 18″ on something like a jazz kit, to 26″ (which is what John Bonham played). Bass technique is some of the hardest to get a hold of when first starting out, because most people are trying to concentrate on staying on time with their arms, then you have to factor in your foot!. The bass drum is operated by a bass pedal, which gets its own little section.
Bass Pedal
The bass pedal is the method of hitting the bass drum. There are many kinds of many styles. This is a single bass pedal, but there are also double bass pedals, which simulates having 2 bass drums. That’s considered a more advanced technique, and until you nail a single pedal down, I highly recommend staying away from a double bass. Its kind of sensory overload until you get yourself straight.
Snare Drum
The snare drum is probably the most used drum on a kit. It is a basic drum, with a batter head (the head you hit) and a resonant head (the head you don’t hit), but with a series of “snares” on the bottom resting upon the resonant head. They give it the signature “crack” sound that is commonly associated with said drums. There is a switch on the side of snare drums that allows you to let the snares hang away from the resonant head, which in effect just makes it a tom-tom. This is recommended to do when you are not using the snare.
Tom-Tom
TomToms (normally just called Toms) are one of the things that gives your drum set an individual flair. They come in many shapes and sizes, from the standard 13″-16″ rack tom (which is normally mounted on a rack, or from a stem coming from your bass drum), to floor toms (larger toms that sit on the floor, typically a little smaller then a bass drum, but have a similar sound). Then there are things like roto-toms, which are very small, very shallow toms with a higher pitched sound. Toms are a matter of preference, as some people have a lot, some people have a decent amount, and some people have only 1 or 2. I currently only have a floor tom on my set.
Cymbals
Having already addressed hi-hats, I’ll skip over that bit. But there are also an astonishing number of different cymbals, which could have a whole post dedicated to them. I’ll run over some basic ones. There are varying parts of interest on a cymbal, for instance hitting the edge of the cymbal results in a louder sound, while hitting the middle is a quieter and less pronounced. The bell of a cymbal is the rounded part at the top, which creates a sharp “ping” noise. The bells of cymbals and their sound depends on the quality of the cymbal, the type of cymbal, and the design.
Ride- A ride cymbal is a larger cymbal that is used in a similar fashion to the hi-hat, only it rings out and its resonance gives it a louder, more pronounced feeling. They can be anywhere from 20″ to as big as you would like. I’ve personally not played anything bigger then 24″, but I guarantee they make them up to at least 28″.
Crash- A crash cymbal sounds like you imagine it would. Like something…crashing. They range in size from 12″ to about 18″. They’re good for accenting hits, and including in fills. Some people use them as they would a ride. They come in smaller sizes, varying from around 6″ to 10″, and they are classified as splash cymbals. They are characterized by their low resonance and “splash” sound they create when hit.
China/Trash/Etc- There are a ton of other cymbals out there, all of which can add a unique feel to your kit. China symbals/trash cymbals just sound like you’re hitting a trash can lid, with low resonance and a cheap sound. As unpleasant as that may sound, you’ve probably heard one, and they can sound pretty cool. There are other things like rock bells, which are just the bell of a cymbal, which make a really cool addition.
I’ll be adding more, focusing on some more stuff.
Section 3:Buying a set, plus Heads, Hardware, Sticks and Shells
Does this mean anything to you? If not, that’s okay. I’m going to help you get a grip on some of the stuff that throws new drummers through a loop.
Buying a Set
There are a million sets out there, and therefor a million decisions to make. There isn’t a right or wrong way to start, but there are some decisions that are better then others. It really depends on your budget.
Musiciansfriend.com offers complete drum kits with hardware, and cymbals, and this is a good place to start. They are lower-end, but I play on one and it gets the job done. The reason this kits are decent is because they come with so much stuff.
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/navigatio…001+304831
Many kits only come with shells (the outside of the drum). These kits come with shells, heads (expensive), hardware (expensive), snares (expensive) and some decent beginner cymbals (very expensive). All between $400 and $800. I forgot to mention drums were expensive, probably the most expensive instrument. But beginner sets are where it’s at, and until you know the ins and outs of it, you should just stick with those.
These kits do not come with bass pedals typically, so thats something else you’ll have to check into. They will state if they do or don’t. Many of them do not come with thrones, either, and you’re going to need something to sit on.
Unless you want an electronic kit. Electronic kits are neat because
1. They’re quiet. You can play through an amp, or headphones. (they do have a rock band sound when you hit them though)
2. They can be good, and about the same cost as a higher-end beginner set
3. They come with the capability for a variety of sounds.
All in all, it’s up to you. If you can find a used kit, that is a viable option too. Then you can personally inspect what you need and don’t need. Drum sets are pretty much completely adjustable, so feel is just how you make it.
Heads
There are two heads (what you hit) on a typical drum. There is a batter head, and a resonant head. The batter head is the one you hit, and the resonant head goes on the bottom to..resonate. There are many types of heads, and they are similar to guitar strings in the sense that it’s pretty much completely preference into what you have. If you break a head, and want to try a new one do it. Here’s how you can do it.
Quote:http://www.indie-music.com/modules.php?n…e&sid=1000
Start with the bottom head. (Make sure you remove the old one first!) Place the bottom head on your shell then install the rim. At this point you can go ahead and insert the tightening screws. Only give one or two turns so there is no pressure on the head but the screws stay in place. Next, press your index finger in the middle of the head. By doing this, your finger should create a dip in the center and a bunch of wrinkles will appear. Using your drum key, pick any lug and tighten the screw until the wrinkles next to that lug barley go away. Make sure your index finger keeps pressure in the center of the head during this entire process. Now you can move to the lug directly across from the one you just tightened. Tighten that screw until the wrinkles disappear. Repeat this process until you have all screws tightened and the wrinkles are completely gone from the head. Once the last screw is tight, you can remove your index finger.
Repeat this procedure for the top head. Once both heads are in place and wrinkle free, your drum should be roughly sitting at its natural resonance. Hit the drum and listen for its tone. If you hear a vibrating buzz the head is either not seated correctly (redo all of the tightening screws), you’re using an old head that’s shot, you’ve got some foreign matter floating inside the drum or you’ve got loose hardware. Otherwise you’re off to a great start. If you like what you hear repeat the process for the remaining toms. If you are going for that cool dipping sound, detune the top head by slightly loosing one of the screws. On my kit, I tighten the top and bottom heads just a bit more than the natural resonance point. Then I detune the top head. This gives me the desired dipping sound that is great live or on tape. You can now experiment to get a sound that you like.
That is a good guide. Just remember to always go ACROSS from the screw you start on. It should make a star pattern.
Hardware
Hardware is what holds your drumsets together. Cymbal stands, screws, drum keys, hi-hat stands, the works. Hardware is expensive- and if you want to add a cymbal, expect to pay at least $50 for a decent stand. I bought a Pearl Export kit (on a deal with a bass drum and cymbals) and it has GREAT hardware. Lower Tama and Mapex kits in my experience, have hardware that is not nearly as good. Tama makes good hardware, just not with their entry level stuff.
The drum key is the main tool for your set. It’s how you tighten/loosen/manage everything. They are pretty much compatible on for all sets, and it is essential that you have one near your set at all times. DO NOT LOSE IT. It’s generally a good idea to have several stored away, because they’re small and easy to misplace.
Sticks
There are also a million options for sticks. Most are made of American Hickory, because of its light weight and good shock absorbtion, but there are sticks that are made of Maple, and the cadillac of sticks, Japanese White Oak. Once again, it’s just preference. Maple is lighter with a brighter sound, but not as durable as Hickory or Oak. Hickory and Oak are darker sounding with better shock absorption, but are generally heavier. It’s all preference, try stuff out guys.
Sticks come in several sizes, the main ones are 7A, 5A and 3A. 7A is the smallest, with 5A being the standard. 3A is rather large, but guys like Travis Barker play with them. There are even larger sizes like 2b and 5b, which are good for heavier playing styles and guys who have a tendency to break sticks.
I personally play with 7A, because they’re light and the most nimble. 5A is what most people play though.
On top of these, there are also
-Brushes are metal or nylon…brushes, that allow a softer sound to be played by people who usually have a jazz/swing/softer style.
-Hot Rods are louder then brushes, but softer then sticks. They are a bunch of smaller sticks bound together.
-Mallets are softer on things like snares, but louder on toms, and allow you to easily do cymbal rises.
Stick Heads
Like is the case with most things in drumming, there are a million different options for things as small as stick heads. They come in different shapes and sizes, and even materials.
There are stick heads that are ovular, round, acorn shaped etc, and they can range from big to small. They all have an impact on your sound. Bigger heads allow a darker sound, while smaller heads are subsequently brighter. A darker, heavier sound comes from wood tips, while nylon tips allow cymbal guys to work quickly and smoothly on the hi-hats and cymbals.
All in all its preference, and its up to you to try as many different kinds of sticks as it takes to find the right one.
Section 4: Technique
Technique pretty much follows the same path as the rest of drum related advice. It’s just how you approach it. There isn’t a right or wrong way to do something. I’ll try to make this a FAQ, because there are so many facets, that I can’t address all of them.
I’ll also have it known that I’m definitely not the paragon of drum technique. I’m completely self taught, so I’ll post what I have to say and then I’ll see if I can find a video that explains it traditionally.
Foot Independence
This is the biggest issue probably when overcoming drums. It’s hard, but its mainly just an issue of patience. The foot has a tendency to follow the dominant hand, and the easiest way I’ve found to practice breaking that habit, is to try and get some basic rock beats down. Then, once you get those beats down, mess with some extra snare hits, or add/subtract some bass hits. If your foot follows your dominant hand, you can also speed up that hand and make it easier to add bass drum hits because there are more hits to follow.
Here is a video that explains it far better then I can through text, haha.
(See link at bottom for rest of article)
Time Signatures
Most of the time, time signatures do not matter. But some people are set on them. I don’t use them, and unless you really want to, you shouldn’t have to either.
(See link at bottom for rest of article)
Section 5: You’ve got your set, now what?
As seems to be the case with drums, there is no set in stone way to accomplish what you’re going to do. If you want to learn rudiments, go ahead. If you want to hop on the set and thrash away until you’re better, go ahead. I, personally, am completely self taught. I had a friend who was learning guitar at the same time, and we jammed together, and progressed together.
You’re not going to be Neil Peart the first time you hop on your set, and there is always going to be someone better then you. It’s not meant to discourage you, but it always makes you better knowing there is someone to compete with. Never get comfortable with where you are. Get a teacher if you want, or a drum pad to practice on, but if you just want to play some songs, listen to some easy parts and emulate.
Here are some Youtube Channels I’ve found helpful if you’re ever stuck in a rut.
(See link at bottom for rest of article)
If anyone else has any content, I will be sure to add it. Just post or PM.
