[drmmrboy88]

what is that system of grades?

[celticmaps]

Usually beginners start in grade 4 for solos, then move up as they get better. This guy is a grade 1 drummer now.

@nickppp yes nick.it does have

[ClTIZEN]

@nickppp100 Yup there is a snare on both heads.

for some strange reason i felt like taking a crap when i heard this....

[TripperDipper1]

let this guy play on a floor tom (or on a surface with low rebound) and he will suck like hell because he just presses the stick against the head without implying any finger work.

I don't get why this gus is supposed to be a good drummer, because his technique sucks, especially his left hand.

[nickppp100]

someone said that the snare drums in pipe drums have snares on both heads. Is that true? It seems odd.

[Jamiek246]

well i am in City of Limerick pipe band Gard 3 and 1 of the best pipe bands in Ireland ........ the drum sound bit flat i recommend an Adanta head they sound well better....
