I just learned also I need triggers, pads, and modules so how does the module exactly work tho??

[Onthegig]

@drummajuney Do you still need the answer to this question? I could make sure I get the answer for you on the next interview.

[Onthegig]

That's exactly what we like to hear!

Legend FINALLY has a respectable drummer. His last drummer was WHACK!!!! Rashid is BEAST!!

[drummer328]

I totally agree with Garystanionis... Every drummer has a different style and Swiss Chris is an excellent musician that gave a lot to the industry overall... Let always remember that style does not constitute or reflect skill. In this case, two different drummers with different styles play and played this music in their own way... Respect is given to both.

Rashid has some serious skills--two things that I really appreciate though:First--he is serious about percussion--you can tell he is interested in the technical side of sound and the whole creation of the exact right sound for the right scene.Secondly, I was watching the Toca percussion video, and he smiled through most of the performance--so I found myself with a big grin--because I knew he was having fun! Keep drumming Rashid--you are the right mix of a skilled cool guy and a drum techie geek!

It's funny seeing him talk up Paiste so much when he's now with Zildjian...Zildjian must have given him a better deal!

Just saw this cat last night when he played for Jill Scott on the Jill Scott/Maxwell tour. It was off the charts!!!

[marceaulechiffre]

What heads is he using on toms?

[jermiahhogan]

I'm surprised that you would make such a strong statement, and then make such a bold assumption about me. I know about Swiss Chris, and you know as well as I do that Rashid is a better fit for a John Legend gig than Chris. No one has to agree with me, but again that's just my "opinion" lol.
