Of hardware and equipment

04.12.07

“Wow dude you have like 13029834032892 hihats and 93020382 crashes and 38430 snares! You must be a damn pro drummer!”

Sentences like that piss the shit out of me. Along with sentences like, “I need two rides that sound different, one for heavier stuff and one for jazzier and softer stuff.” What’s with the big hoohah over hardware, equipment and gear? It’s not as though having more cymbals or more snares will make you a better drummer. True enough, having more cymbals and snares give you a wider palate of sounds to play around with… but how often will this come into play?

Zzz. When will people realise that its the skill of the drummer that makes the equipment sound good, and not the over way around.

GRRR.
