[Acustom997]

Great Drum Solo !

[ManiacGuitar98]

since i see you using them i am gonna ask you im shopping for new heads and ive benn wondering why sont people use sound controlled heads on toms anymore and by the way amazing drumming

[joaoa13portugal]

just by the video image i could see your a John Bonham fan

im guessing 12" 14" and 16" toms or maybe 13" 16" 18" and those remo heads with the DOT that Bonham used too

[l0c0m0nster]

[TeringHerrie4Life]

Awesome jam, I just love the solo's on floor toms :)

Is there any advice to give on how to practice these kinda things?

(Yes, i'm still an intermediate drummer)

[punkrockdrummer1990]

wow luvly set dude! dont use blue heads tho IMO they make it looks cheap,....AND THATS A FUCKING SIN!

[flicky76]

@punkrockdrummer1990 The heads aren't blue. They are clear. But thank you.

[VoteforJimJepson]

@flicky76 Hahaha "But thank you." If he knew it was a vistalites they are transparent with a blue tint. I personally love this kit with it's warm hit to every stroke. I own a Ludwig Green Sparkle Zep Accent kit. Love Ludwig, and Bonham. I love all your videos and setups!

[CasperGgoodwood]

@punkrockdrummer1990 lol

[EILIVdrummer]

@punkrockdrummer1990 HAHAHA! xDDD

[froidalo]

@punkrockdrummer1990 don't use electric drum kits they ARE cheap

[flicky76]

@punkrockdrummer1990 The heads aren't blue, friend. They are see through. Only the see through drums are blue.

[MyManDan]

[bradzdestroyer]

I might buy the hydrolic heads when i need some new ones. Any body use em besides this dude?

[1gannuscio]

I have been using Remo Clear Ambassadors and they are nice heads. I have a 12" abd 14" mounted toms and they sound really good on 'em. Nice and bright..

[vinnypapa63]

That was REALLY good. It felt like I was at a swing dancing club back in the 30's.

[CABEZONPITUDO]

[jtn2895]

hey i was wondering if i could convert a 13 by 10 rack tom into a floor tom?

[BrainDamage769]

YEAHHHH... And then get a 10 x 7 rack, a 16 x 14 bass, and a little 12" snare. That'd be shweet! =)

[jtn2895]

sweet thanks :D

[ninfreak18]

hahaha a 13x10 rack tom would not make a good floor tom :p

[lasting130]

Real nice, has a big band feel to it.

[zeppelin511]

Nice seat. Haha, awesome.

[Btess01]

what kind of drum heads you using?

[flicky76]

These are Remo CS (Controlled Sound) heads. Otherwise referred to as black dots.

[LudwigDrummer40]

You are insane! That was awesome

[Sendrand]

I need some advice...Im about to get a new kit. My current one is wood. I really want some vistalites, but i dont know if i should, because i hear they can crack.How often do they crack? I guess im trying to say, how long until they crack? PLEASE SOMEONE RESPOND

[flicky76]

Mine are from the seventies. I have not cracked them, and I have taken them out to gigs and I play them a lot. one of my floor toms had a crack that the fellow who owned the set before me had fixed. The repair has held up perfectly well. I wouldn't worry too much about the cracking. Like I said, except for that one instance, mine have no other cracks, and I have two bass drums, threee toms, and two floor toms.

[AveNgeD767]

sexy

[kapikpai]

awesome mate ! an old school solo that really stands and groove !

[thekeysman1]

great work man, excellent, what are you doing on the floor toms? as far as the beat, like a paradiddle? or something different?

[arron2800]

nice job man

[KKSNATE]

u rock

[jbonham978]

Fun to watch! Definetly got me interested in getting a set of vistalites again. Its fun watching your videos - inspiring! Especially the Krupa/Bonham mix. More please.

[FEHN]

5 stars.

[amishrockstar]

"Sing Sang Sung"

[000Aviator000]

First time i see bleu skins! Nice play

[Hyce777]

They're not blue, the drums are hence giving the mostly clear heads the appearance of being blue.

[000Aviator000]

Oh its true lol

[XtrenchfootX]

their clear skins but they look blue because the drum shell is clear blue , i just figured tht out lmao i thought they were blue aswell

[jimmyhammett]

nice sounding kit

[minibuddy321]

EXELLENT and a really nice colour aswell!

[anawsomename]

jene krupa style!!

[favd2002]

cool!!!! it´s a vintage drums and cymbals???

[flicky76]

Vintage drums, not cymbals. New Paistes. 2002 series.

[TheDirectorofFoo]

Are Controlled Sound Remo Heads good?

[ManiacDrummer1212]

in my opinion yes. i don't have them yet, but from what i've heard and seen, they last a long time, are really loud, and have brilliant attack.

[DrazharX]

That was sick. Can you tab that shit? :P

[MarkArandjus]

A joy to watch!

[indiedrummer4]

that was bloody great! great krupa tom feel!

[jevaka]

Great job I really enjoyed that!

[fallenfx]

what drumkit is that its gr8?

[drumboy222]

Ludwig...Greatest Drum Copney ever.

[CheGuevaraRules]

Hey my floor tom is a way out of tune any idea on a good way of tuning it and getting it to sound anyway the same as yours? Great jam by the way!

[Drummingwizkid]

what kind of heads are those?

[flicky76]

Remo CS (Controlled Sound) Black Dots.

Just like Bonham used on his Vistalites.

[drumboy222]

Remo!

[Drummingwizkid]

This was pretty sweet..i love doing stuff like this..

[flicky76]

That is called an "L-arm". You can find them on ebay, but they are a little rare . . .

[bonzoboom85]

dude what is that kind of stand called when it attaches a cymbal off center but on your bass drum

[simonantics]

Very nice. Been copying this. Thanks.

I need to know how you tune your green sparkles in the "Green sparkle ludwigs!" clip. I'ver got a vintage (1976) set of L's I'm setting up. What skins do u use and what's the relative tension top vs. bottom. Thanks again for sharing your Ludwig collection -- and your drumming skills!

[flicky76]

Well, the green set has Remo Amabassador coated heads on top, and medium clear Ludwig heads on the bottom. I try to keep the tension relatively the same, though a tad tighter on the bottom heads. Also, I occasionally use a DrumDial (if you don't have one, get one!) to help keep the tension even. It measures timpanic pressure (so it says . . . )

[flicky76]

If you get a DrumDial, it has a guage, and I set the rack to about 77-78 (not quite sure how to categorize the units) and the bottom to about 80. The Floor tom is close, though a bit lower. I hope this helps!

[ziek44]

thanks

[reother]

Is that stool a pork pie?

[flicky76]

No, it's totally a custom made thing back from when I was a kid. It's just an awkward stool from my dad's garage that he had upholstered for me and I've kept it all these years.

[Drummerfreak575]

amazing stuff

love those Vistalites

[kev123a]

Man, you got it goin on Daren! The kit looks fantastic.I dig the fact you USE that 18" ft
