Hell you can't even say bad words at em, I shouldn't ever even swear or argue online, that is bad for business. We've had so many patronizing comments made to us over the years about how we're dong this or that wrong, it's just silly.but it'll drive you mad in the moment if you let it, and you can't let it. They come in many varieties, but two main breeds are guaranteed:įirst and most annoying are the ones that always know better. The bit that still kills me every time, is the random schmuck. You bring drums of all size, make, and cost.they're impressed with your work and want to talk for an hour about a custom job that they have no real intention of following through on.īut all this is normal, warranted, and pretty much expected. You bring nice drums, they want cheap drums. You bring drums of all sizes, and they want different materials. You bring big and small drums, they want medium drums. You bring big drums, they want small drums. Well, I like to think I'd be making a lot more money and have a more steady and secure life if I didn't start a drum company, but who fracken knows?īuilding and selling drums sure beats the hells of tiered management, memos, and organized corporate frivolities like casual Friday, hell I'll varnish in my bathrobe if I want to (I don't)īut starting out did kinda suck, I'm glad I was younger then. You can try, but GET A DAY JOB because this ain't gonna pay the bills. Starting a business is a dodgy prospect right now anyway, and such a niche item is even tougher, when there are people out there already doing it well. I'd recommend buying one except who knows if they are going to be around in the future? The drums sound pretty much exactly like Tempus drums but for less money, without the proprietary lug design or established identity. One guy is a drummer and the other is a non-drummer engineer/fibreglass guy. There is another company making f/g drums not too far from me: Bello Drums I met these guys at the PA and Delaware drum shows, and they are very nice. Tempus was mentioned - he's about as close as you could come to "cornering the market." And it took him decades to get to where he is now, which is finally being successful and turning a real profit.

Not sure how they could "have the market cornered," huh pierson? I have watch a video by Brain on custom rules, downloaded the information packets from the website, but am not sure where to go from here.Fibes is no longer making drums, it seems.Ĭorrect, and no plans to re-start.

#GHOSTNOTE DRUM FORUM CODE#
Has anyone any experience writing custom rules for ghost notes and if so can you explain it to me in simple terms? I am not completely oblivious to the process but I have never ventured into code and am not sure where to begin. Whether this is actually the case I have no idea, and here is where I defer to the forum. When considering dynamics I lean towards a percentage rather than a predefined volume simply because a ghost note played at piano would be softer than one played at forte fortissimo. I understand theoretically that the addition of the parenthesis causes the volume of that note to be dropped a certain percentage, or to play at a predefined volume. The only Notion articulation I see will be missed is ghost note. It works quite well and editing my existing compositions should be quite easy, if only a bit time-consuming. To avoid having to write any code I mapped the midi to the N5 drum set template, and expanded the articulations around that in a manner that makes sense to me. Wonderfully enough, dynamics work great, including hairpins and accents. Ok, after much research and consideration I purchased BFD3 and have started testing in N5.
