I'm contemplating buying EZdrummer - anyone with any experience, or suggestions of anything better ?

[quote name='pip' post='38079' date='Jul 28 2007, 10:47 AM']Hi guys Is there anywhere on the net that clearly explains the cycle of 4ths 5ths etc? because I would like to understand it. As I am starting to explore the boundaries of interval playing and theory. Thanks Phil[/quote] [url="http://www.dolmetsch.com/theoryintro.htm"]http://www.dolmetsch.com/theoryintro.htm[/url] - it's all in there somewhere or there's Wiki - [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths[/url]

I've got two, a 4HS I've had for a couple of years, and I recently picked up a 4HH/piezo. (I've also had a 4HH without piezo, a 4H and a 5HS and very nearly bought the HS that dub_junkie mentions - maybe one day ) I rarely use anything else and absolutely love the sound and playability of them. I wasn't that sure of the look at first, but they've grown on me over the time I've had them and everything I've bought has failed to beat the Bongo for sound.

the answer is : Bongo.

I'll be in Devon in a couple of weeks time parents live in Exmouth so it's my regular Summer Holiday destination

It did come out rather well, though I'm not responsible for the lovely wood underneath Trev, I forgot to take pics of the job, would it be ok to use (as in add to my flickr page) yours ?

It was built as a test/show bass, with multiple pickups to give potential customers more variety to try out. It's had cutaways added front and rear and the neck thinned since I first built it, and I've changed the original BareKnuckles for Basslines to see what they sound like. It had passive circuitry originally too, but after a chat with John regarding dealing with the number of pickups, I decided to add a U Retro to the mix. The first pot is a typical U/J Retro vol/balance control which blends the J pickups and the P pickup, the second single pot is a blend for the two J pickups and the other two are the usual U Retro tone controls. It's only 7 1/2 lbs, which is good, but the oil finish on the soft swamp ash body makes it a little fragile (I've already marked it !) I'm probably going to make a small matte black scratchplate to save further marking to the finish. Next time I strip it down I may paint it for a bit of extra protection, we'll see how the oil finish fares Gigging tonight, so I might take it along for a change from the Bongos I usually use.

Finally put my old show bass back together and stuck a U-Retro in it it sounds massive !

weird, it all looks fine in Firefox 2.0.0.4 for me
