My site is always growing. More and more content is being added...I strive to share my latest journeys with all who wish to visit my pages.


I am always adding movies, pictures, words....everything and anything that has to do with my world...and other worlds that pertain to music and creativity within that realm.


I have found that uploading movies/videos to YouTube has many advantages...and I am taking advantage of those features.


No longer is the visitor needing to download QuickTime movie software to play my videos. One can access them immediately from YouTube itself.


I offer up new media content as soon as I make them!

As always, enjoy in good health and spirits~!

Best to you...
Michael

The KayJae practice drum pad

I recently purchased the KayJae Back-Saver drum practice pad...I have the utmost respect and admiration for this innovative and lovely product.

I find that I am finally able to experience the ultimate practice session...comfy and relaxed in my favorite chair...while I'm able to watch T.V.

Amazing how fast the time goes by when relaxed yet still able to focus on my hands.

I highly recommend this practice pad for everyone!

Check out my review on this wonderful practice pad.



TRICK Bass Drum Pedals
TRICK bass drum pedals explained

My camera person, Tammie, and I made this four part movie of me explaining in great detail the TRICK bass drum pedals; The PRO 1V, the PRO 1V Big Foot and the Dominator.

Here I demonstrate the beautiful features of these magnificent bass drum pedals.

My hope is to offer some advice and make clear how to set up these pedals so one can get the absolute best out of them.

TRICK Custom Snare Drums
Click on Custom TRICK snare drums
I recently tossed up a few microphones to record my beautiful custom TRICK snare drums.
I am aware that many drummers don't get the chance to hear them...as a TRICK snare drum is not common in most music stores.

My goal was to let the listener hear these drums at three different tunings with and without Moon Gel Muffling;
Low/Med/High

Microphones used were:
Peluso 22 47SE for the room and the Gefell 2000 mic body with m21 hypercardioid capsule

Batter head on all four drums is the Evans Power Center Reverse Dot and the snare head the Evans Hazy 300.
All snare wires are the Pure Sound 16-20 strand.

Hear these drums by clicking on the the TRICK snares.
