More jamming on the Mountain with the Hipgig

[J35T3R33]

Hey give Ritsu her drums back :3

[glock868]

u ever watch the anime K-on??? cause this is the exact set they use in the show

[reginr]

Thank you for the post! We just got a HipGig like yours, we are having difficulty in tweaking it, did you made some changes with the heads? thanks!

[uwepetersen]

@reginr My head selection is: Remo Ambassador coated on top and clear on bottom of Tom's and Snare.

On the bass drum I have a clear Powerstroke4 on the beater side and a Powerstroke3 Renaissance with a 5" hole and a felt stripe across the head.

[uwepetersen]

Low tuning on the beater side of the bass drum and med. tight on the front.

[Slayer100]

[kulastrio]

Envy much XDD

[paisteguy799]

@RutboyNiles its socal so the coldest it ever gets there is probably 55 degrees...and it never rains..so hes golden in the winter

[miamiwax]

[Jammess95]

i bet your kit fits inside your big yellow stool? ;) handy

[uwepetersen]

@Jammess95 Actually the drums fit inside the bass drum and the hardware goes in the throne. It's an awesome invention.

[Jammess95]

@uwepetersen oooh still very neat, and they sound great :)

[Brien182]

i bet everyone in the towns below could hear that. it would have taken the police hours to get there so no noise complaint. I love the mountains.

[jwaldman69]

It sounds like you are using mics. Must be a good camera.

[Britney24able]

Awesome awesome drumming in the mountains with a beautiful scenery.......But you look so bored....hahaha. Why? Just asking! You are awesome though. You just dont look like your enjoying all the beauty.

[unclesam6]

[RATM4LYFE]

[SpagsJippy]

i wish i lived near such a place. recently moved into an apartment. no drumming going on here. but man if i had a location like that near me, id disappear.

[uwepetersen]

@SpagsJippy: that's why I went on that mountain because I also was living in an Apt. at that time. (2008)

You can do this everywhere...
