playing drums hard
speakers to play the battery?

Hey, so I decided to get drums, and I want some speakers around $ 100 that I use (and most likely hook my iPod to the height) and they need to be strong, but clearly I can play the drums hard for? … For any suggestion or help?

I agree that the JBL Eon speaker is incredible definitally but not in this price range. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gem-Sound-PXA105-Powered-Two-Way-Speaker-System-?sku=600060 Gem Sound is pretty decent speakers in this price range, when you play make sure no clipping of the speaker, that will just make it last longer.

Led by drummer Tommy Chase, and also featuring Alan Barnes (alto/tenor sax), Nick Weldon (piano), and Andrew Cleyndert, this British quartet makes no bones about playing hard bop on this 1983 session. The phrase hard bop is not only referred to in the title; it's also used as the very first two words of the liner notes. Certainly, the album's revivalist in nature; it sounds as if it could well have been done in the '50s, and five of the six songs in fact were written by top boppers, including covers of Gigi Gryce's "Minority," Duke Jordan's "No Problem," Tadd Dameron's "Ladybird," Sonny Criss' "Blue Sunset," and Sam Jones' "Del Sasser." Nick Weldon's "The Message" is the only original (and convincingly emulates the brand of bop emphasizing rolling start-stop tempos), and "Blue Sunset" is the only point at which the tempo slows close to ballad territory. The record's good straight-ahead bop, and each of the players is skilled. But the lack of original material on a record so dedicated to playing in a style that had been popular for decades keeps it from being a particularly noteworthy effort. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music GuidePerformers: Alan Barnes - Sax (Alto), Sax (Tenor); Tommy Chase - Drums; Andrew Cleyndert - Bass; Nick Weldon - Piano

One term that is being used more and more in the jazz world is Afro-Cuban jazz. The term is used out of a desire to be specific; Poncho Sanchez and others who are mainly interested in combining jazz with Afro-Cuban rhythms (son, guaguancó, cha-cha, mambo, danzón, etc.) have a different approach from, say, a pan-Latin jazzman like pianist Danilo Pérez (whose interest in Latin music includes not only Afro-Cuban salsa but also, a variety of South American rhythms). So where does Negroni's Trio -- a threesome consisting of José Negroni on acoustic piano, his son Nomar Negroni on drums and Jaime Rivera on electric and acoustic bass -- fit in? Essentially, they're a post-bop group that is capable of playing both Afro-Cuban jazz and non-Afro-Cuban Latin jazz. José Negroni, a hard-swinging virtuoso whose influences range from Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett to Michel Camilo, Eddie Palmieri and Irakere founder Chucho Valdés, wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on Piano-Drums-Bass -- and quite often, his playing and writing underscore his love of salsa and Afro-Cuban rhythms. But not all of the Latin rhythms that are heard on this 2004 release originated in Cuba, the birthplace of what came to be known as salsa. "Los Duendes," for example, has a strong Spanish flavor -- the piece isn't unlike some of Corea's more Spanish-minded compositions -- while "Bougainvillea" is Brazilian-influenced and "Mavi" employs the Puerto Rican bomba rhythm. Nonetheless, everything on this CD is relevant to Latin music in some way; that is true of the original material as well as interpretations of Wayne Shorter's "Footprints" (which is incorrectly listed as "Footprint" in the credits) and George Gershwin's "Summertime"." And the album, although not innovative or groundbreaking, is consistently enjoyable if one is open to hearing a variety of Latin jazz. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music GuidePerformers: Sammy Figueroa - Percussion; José Negroni - Piano; Nomar Negroni - Drums

Drums and Guns Drums and Guns
$13.98

A stark retreat from the relatively sunny sound of The Great Destroyer, Drums and Guns is, as its title suggests, inspired by the war in Iraq. True to the spirit of Low's other work, the outrage and regret expressed by these songs is just as timeless as it is timely, lamenting that war still exists as much as it addresses this particular war. And, while Drums and Guns' emotions and lyrics are complex (and on songs like "Murderer," with its "seems like you could use another fool," they don't pull any punches), its sound is often devastatingly spare and simple. It's almost hard to believe that the band worked with David Fridmann on this album as well as The Great Destroyer -- where that album was lush and overflowing with sonic tangents, Drums and Guns' sound is raw and restricted to just a few key sounds that underscore its themes. Fittingly, most of the album emphasizes percussion; whether it's the martial-yet-jazzy beat that drives "Sandinista" or the somber, almost industrial thud of "Dragonfly," this approach keeps the songs intimate, powerful, and uniquely modern-sounding. Organ also plays a key role on Drums and Guns, particularly on "Breaker," where it magnifies the anguish of lyrics like "my hand just kills and kills," and "Violent Past," where its massive sound closes the album by swallowing the listener in a cathedral of distortion. Aside from this song and the similarly epic "In Silence," most of Drums and Guns is gently but insistently tense, like a nagging conscience: "Take Your Time"'s looped church bells and "Belarus"' ghostly harmonies are bleakly, uncompromisingly beautiful. Low lightens up a little on the album's middle stretch, with "Hatchet," a plea for peace that's surprisingly playful ("let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles and the Stones"), and "Dust on the Window," where Mimi Parker's sweet voice sounds inherently comforting even as she wonders, "where can a girl get a meal?" Despite these bright spots, this is easily -- and understandably -- Low's darkest album since Trust. Unlike that album, however, Drums and Guns never feels dragged down by its weighty subject matter. It's a lean, potent work, and even if it's not one of Low's most superficially pleasant collections of songs, it's certainly among their most necessary ones. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

It has enabled him to contrast and compare arguably the two most iconic of sports from the inside. Apart from learning two very different techniques, he learned that the sports' ultimate heroes, the Babe and the Don, might as well have come from different planets, and baseball's pristine Hall of Fame in Cooperstown is a far cry from the ramshackle cricket museum at Lord's.

This stimulating session (reissued on CD by Enja) features the masterful avant-garde cornetist Manfred Schoof (whose surprising jumps into the upper-register recall Kenny Wheeler), Steve Lacy on soprano, pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Isla Eckinger, and drummer Allen Blairman. They explore four of Waldron's advanced pieces, and it is interesting to hear how Lacy's playing a couple decades ago (with its piercing high notes and very abstract combination of notes) differs from his present-day lyrical approach. Waldron's percussive style is a logical progression from his hard bop playing of the 1950s, and the rhythm section is both alert and tight on these three romps and the ballad "Russian Melody." This is a strong live set that successfully combines together some distinctive musical personalities; Schoof often steals solo honors. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music GuidePerformers: Manfred Schoof - Cornet; Allen Blairman - Drums; Isla Eckinger - Bass; Steve Lacy - Sax (Soprano); Mal Waldron - Piano
