Bottom Heads: The “bottom” line of Tone?
Posted on August 23, 2010 by Kyron Newbury
Drums heads are a beautiful thing! They can take the oldest most boring drum kit and make it brand new again! It can take an OK drum kit and make it a good one. It can make a good drum kit a great one! And even take a great drum kit and make it a masterpiece!

Posted on August 3, 2010 by Elliott Chung
Managing one’s practice time is essential to improving as a classical guitarist. If half an hour a day is all you can afford then organizing your time efficiently is very important. Scales, arpeggios, cadences, repertoire, studies, sight-reading, ear-training and composing all combine to make a pretty long list of “to-do’s”. So what’s a classical guitar player actually to do then?
The general idea as everyone knows is that we don’t aim to do everything each time we sit down with our instrument. Doing so would almost be insane. Our practice sessions would run for hours and within a few days we [...] Read more
