The 14th Drum Xchange Singapore at Geylang East Library - 27 September

hey laquish. if you dont want ah. pass to me. i wanna work on them.

i'm taking the cymbals to hammer and probably do some drilling with them.

experiment abit.
see what i can get out of them.

they seem pretty much like what cymbal smiths would call blanks.
just pure sheeted metal. no hammering done to them.

good for me:D:D:D

i'll do some stuff with them and bring them for the next meet up :D
 
Hi fellow drummers,

We hope you have enjoyed this month's Soft DXS Programme!

Please email your ideas & suggestions to drumxchangesingapore@gmail.com to help us continue to refine and improve DXS programme.




We'd like to thank Wen for taking the time to conduct a drum workshop. If you'd like to get in touch with him, you can drop him a mail at wenming.soh@gmail.com

For more information, check out http://wenmingsohmusic.com/



Stay tuned for pictures and video highlights!

Have a great week ahead!

Best regards,
Team DXS
 
Huge thanks to Wen and Fuman for all the sharing yesterday. All that knowledge was invaluable. It was like attending a Master Class that most would pay good money for, but it was FREE!

To all those who came down, huge thanks to you for being there. We hope that everyone took home some knowledge, ideas and wisdom from the session. I know I sure did. Some very inspiring words and skills shared yesterday.
 
Sure okay,maybe find a day and i'll pass them to you.
Who knows,maybe it'll sound okay after experimenting. haha

Yellow and black set looks cool :D
 
We've got pics and videos to document the meet up. Give us a couple of days to get them up yeah? Hopefully that will give us some stuff to remember/reference, as well as let those who couldn't make it that day know what went on that day as well :D

retardeddrummer> Still have a couple videos to upload, including you drumming with Wen... lol when you were bashing away, i overheard the comment "i wouldn't want to date this girl... wait she beat me up sia" :mrgreen:
 
I'm sure it was a fruitful event for the DXS commitee as well as its members! Before I say anything I have to say that the new carlos kit (with the black DXS reso) is SMOKIN'!! Hahaha wonder how it sounds too, looking forward to watching the videos on the duel *Ahem Alfe and Wen* to hear the sound comparison. :mrgreen:

the verdict on the new carlos kit: incomplete - mainly because of stock heads. watch out for round 2 next month as we fit in new drumheads and give it another test drive. maybe should set up a poll and get everyone to pick their favourite heads or something :mrgreen:

wasn't a duel, it was more like james brown-meets gospel woodshed. wen & i were chatting about how happening gospel woodsheds were, u get 5 drumkits in a room and everyone just "sh!ts out everything" (thanks to a fellow attendee for this quote of the day :mrgreen:) the 2nd camera battery died by then too, so no footage. too bad. ha

gamsia!

appreciate the help getting the qns thru, alfe and the guys.

his 4badap phrase is enlightening...what vocabulary he has!

the bossa...pity, coz the qn wasn't how to do it but how would he approach the style at different tempos with brushes. i've been experimenting, and it's harder than swing!
