There comes a point when every drummer has had enough of just using the stage monitor and earplugs. They want something more…. no, they yearn for more.
Picking out new in ear monitors can be a pain… you never know what you’re getting until it’s game time. That’s why it’s always good to check out the reviews of other drummers.

I’ve been shopping for a new kit for a while now (I’m very picky as I’m sure most of you are). While I’ve been looking through catalogs and stopping by my local music store, I’ve also been researching different wood types and composites. Birch and Maple kits have ranked high at the top of my list and I’ve been trying to find the best way to explain the differences.
No need to take too much time doing that since there was a great piece written about it already.
My good friend Kent Aberle wrote up a great article that should help those of you who are looking to buy a new kit and decide between birch and maple.

My name is Keith Wilson and I am the creator of The Drum Buzz. I’ve been playing percussion since I was 8 years old and have continued to fall in love with the world of drums ever since. Growing up I’ve played everything from concert and orchestral percussion, to jazz band, to marching band, and have rocked it out with some great musicians.

When I learned Moeller Whip I didn’t have the honor of learning if directly from the great Jim Chapin, but the person that taught me did.
Aside from his incredible talent and knack for teaching, Jim was a great role model to me in the sense that he didn’t really start playing drums until he was 18.

I started playing percussion (mallets) when I was 8 years old. I then eventually moved into concert band in middle school where I taught myself to play drumset. After middle school I played in the highschool drumline and played in several bands.... I stopped playing drums for about 5 years until I was approached by a friend to start playing again for his band. I have been playing with Blaming Tim in Atlanta for about two years now.
