Re: Newbie

Excellent, thanks Richard. I'll give those tips a go now, & look forward to the update when it's ready. I did make sure I had the camera on the 'blue dot' from the word go...but also made the obvious mistake of trying to start with a Simon Phillips size kit. Scaled that back pretty quickly (!) but I...

About a week or so ago I was browsing on eBay (oops) and saw a set (kit? box? whatever..) of Aerodrums for sale. Ooh, I thought...they look like fun. Been a bass player for 30 odd yea...
