Tama Superstar Drum Kit Contest Solo - JOEDRUMS

[wyzyrddrummer]

one small comment. Nice job overall, but if you learn some ergonomics; where you actually place your drums (ie: cymbal height vs length of your arms etc.) you will be astonished at a) how much faster you can be and b) how much less effort it takes. There are drummers that set up efficiently and those that set up to "look" cool. Take a look at a few Buddy Rich vids 1978 concert @ 61 yrs old and notice how he maximizes the kit to his body. Keep up the good work!

HOW DID YOU DO THAT THING IN 1:34???? i seen this many times but no1 wants to explain it to me.

[JOEDRUMS2112]

@Rexillo1830 Well here's how it's done. I do four on top and two on the bottom. Hands: R L R L Feet: R L Hands: R L R L Feet: R L

Once that pattern becomes easier to do, start speeding it up. To where it sounds like a six stroke roll with both the hands and feet. Hope that helps. Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

@JOEDRUMS2112 THANK YOU!!!!!

[FighterOfFoo284]

Hey Joe! Great drums! Its awesome that you still have them! I recently picked up a nice set of Tama Artstar ES drums. I'm sure you probably remember them. I'll be holding onto them for years! Great sizes and everything, almost like a flashback to the 80's/90's! haha.

[JOEDRUMS2112]

@FighterOfFoo284 Yea I really like TAMA a lot too. The Artstar kits by TAMA were definitely a beast to recon with. I had already gotten the Superstar series when the Artstars first come out. Simon Philips had them and many other artist at the time. Thanks for watching, Keep Rockin' JOEDRUMS2112

[yoyo2121nov8]

when they got you the new kit did your parents buy the cymbals too?

[JOEDRUMS2112]

@yoyo2121nov8 No I bought the cymbals by playing out a lot when I was younger. JOEDRUMS

[ibaneziceman300]

[JOEDRUMS2112]

@ibaneziceman300 Thanks for your support. I wish it was done fairly too, but it was just a put on. Oh well, I learn my lesson. JOEDRUMS

[TheRemedy2012]

nice kit!! great cross overs!

[87mmo]

They sound a lot like my 87 granstar kit. All birch shells. I think the superstars were birch too.

[guitar6059]

if you miced that kit up i bet too us it would sound unreal :)

[MYNAMETAYLA]

What time period did Tama make these drums? By my understanding they usually come in Birch. Also, what are the specs of this drumset sizes and all?

[JOEDRUMS2112]

@MYNAMETAYLA

Well I got that kit in 1983. The guy at the store where I purchased them always told me that those were maple and not birch. He may have been wrong, but they are very light weight and I know birch is a lot heavier wood. Thanks for watching.

[Robotdrummerzzk]

Where did you keep this set, Joe? :)

Is the wood panneling stuff for sound insulation? I've got something like this going.

You were still rocking back then!

[JOEDRUMS2112]

It used to be in the basement where the video was shot. Yea the paneling has sound proof insulation behind it as well. It's really the only way to go. The neighbors love it as well. Hahaha.

[jakesnakesoccer]

lol @ ending though

[jakesnakesoccer]

love the hair dude

can't believe you were that good in high school too

[TheDirectorofFoo]

I hear you and see your personality, but the hair... it just doesn't look like you. haha.

[JOEDRUMS2112]

Going Bald doesn't bother me like some guys. I actually like it. I still grow hair on the sides of my head, but I shave it off so it looks more even. My brother is a barber and he always told me if you shave your whole head it looks more even. Otherwise I would look like Bozo The Clown. Hair on both sides and nothing in the middle. Ya know. Hahaha. : )

JOEDRUMS

[TheDirectorofFoo]

Haha. So it's all good.

[sirius083]

it was fix, oh what a shame, im pretty sure you deserve to be the winner
