I've got some questions for the drummers out there. Are there any good drum boards similar to Talkbass?
There's a Pearl one that's pretty good, although there seem to be a lot of "kids" there. But there is good info and if you ask a specific question, it's likely that a knowledgeable person will step in and offer some good advice. There are a lot of sections for Pearl drums discussions, but there's a general "drum set" category and some others too. http://209.25.203.234/
www.drumset.com it's not quite as funny as it used to be, coz there are too many people on it and it tends to be too gear-focused, but i've gotten good info there and have made some friends as well. note: it's not a multi-category forum such as this, just a regular bulletin board type place.
