    I'm not talking Peart/Bonham type setups.

    20-30 years ago every drumkit seemed to have two toms mounted on the bass drum, now they typically only have one. Our drummer says 'it's just the way people do it these days', but for the extra space and cost I can't see why?

     

     

    *I have an old Hohner kit with three toms (but I can't play it very well)

    my Terry Bozzio reference means that I dont assign drums/toms to specific notes. my needs are simple and I can do with a very simple setup.  

    As mentioned earlier, people sometimes remove the other tom to have the ride on a “hihat” level.

    Why has having just two toms become so popular these days?

    The exact opposite of gear multiplication that applies to other instruments?

    In the gigs/jams I have done as a drummer I never felt that having only two toms to be lacking.I am no Terry Bozzio tho.

    I certainly used to own a Modulus VJ but I can’t remember much about it now. 

    Cost me just £650 back when I bought it 🤦‍♂️

    perhaps this will help you remember? 😀

     

    Yeah I can still remember when flea basses use to sell used for less than a grand.

    are they Lace Alumatone pickups in the one on the left? 

    Whats the red one - the PG is different to a normal P bass though it looks familiar. 
    Which is your main player? 
    Why am I asking so many questions? 

    -They are Joe Bardens. 

    -Its a bitsa with a Status jazz neck and Hipshots. I got the body cheap on ebay, most probably a Jack and Danny one but I am not sure tbh

    - mainly the two Modulus (when gigging was still a thing) but it really depends on the need. The P bass is a lockdown thing so havent been out of the house yet. 

    -Knowledge is power. 😄

     

    What's the best way of rehearsing remotely / online?

    The Focusrite stuff is very good for the money. The drivers are stable and the preamps are good quality.

    Definitely a good choice for a first interface.

    But, if anyone has a Helix related unit, then that can be used as an interface as well so you might not need a separate one.

    Before I bought my Focusrite Solo, I am using my HX stomp as my interface. As good as the one I am using now IMO. Only reason for getting the Focusrite is I need the Mic input so I can converse during jams.
