Bang on your drum

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: Snare stand a bit flimsy

...I own a Hohner LEX 5-piece drum kit. I bought it a couple of years ago for £300. This included Hi-hats and a crash/ride cymbal. This drum kit is a standard 5 piece kit, consisting of a bass drum, a floor tom, two mid toms and a snare. Included was a snare stand, and a cymbal stand. For the price the kit is surprisingly well made, with the insides of the drums smooth, and the outside finished in a shiny black laquer. There is a label on each of the drums with the make, Hohner, the model, LEX, and saying that it was made in Taiwan. All of the hardware, with the exception of the snare stand is sturdy. The two toms are affixed to the bass drum on two l-shaped brackets. The angle and height of the drums can be altered, and once satisfied, you can lock them in place using the drum key provided. The snare stand is not really very...

Review of Hohner Drum 5 Piece Kit

Xplore your creativity :D

Advantages: Sound, looks, quality, weight, durability
Disadvantages: It's not a roland? :P

...I had this kit bought for me on my 21st Birthday after being let down by the ION ED01 kit a few years previous. This kit is fantastic, admittedly a little too expensive but you still get a good sound, a nice drumming experience and a generally very responsive all round kit. The pre-sets are great, the ability to set up double-bass is wicked, the metronome is an added bonus and the coolest thing of all is the ability to jack your own music straight into the kit from your computer or other music device. There are several slots open on the end of the list of pre-set kits for you to build your own kits as well, which I've done loads of times, really fun! All round great kit for intermediate players and easy to move and store :)...

Review of Little Tikes Tap a Tune Drum

Step Brothers

Advantages: Over fairly quickly
Disadvantages: Just not very good...

...***Film Only Review*** Last night I sat down to watch Step Brothers after being told by a friend, who has a similar sense of humour to me, that it was pretty funny and worth a watch. Story ------- Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C Reilly) are two 40 year old who still live at home with their parents. Dale's dad and Dale have been living together Dales' whole life, Dale doesn't work and loves the lifestyle of being able to do what he wants when he wants, especially jamming on his drum kit. Brennan is a slightly more sensitive character having been raised by his mother his whole life and likes still being looked after even though he is middle aged. When Dale and Brennan's parents hook up and get married, both of the boys (I say boys, meaning men!) have to learn to share and get along as step brothers. Initially...

Review of Step Brothers

Tap your feet to the electric beat

Advantages: cheap, good headphones
Disadvantages: not realistic bad pedals and sticks

...I got this drum set about a year ago, it's my first drum kit and i have to say quite good for the price. set up is easy if you follow the well drawn book, just a matter of attaching some clamps putting poles in and tightening things, the control box for this is a bit too complicated for my liking and the instructions for that don't help either. The drum pads: the drum pads are all the same size and can be positioned wherever you want on the kit, they are also touch responsive which makes for a more realistic feel. Drum pedals: the drum pedals are way too sensitive you have to either have your foot pushed hard down on it or not on it at all and when you do want to play it you just push them the lightest bit. The sticks : the drum sticks included are horribly light and a horrible wood it's like holding plywood. The head phones...

Review of Ion IED01 Electronic Drum Kit

Are you smiling at this drum

Advantages: good for motor control and babies attention
Disadvantages: noise

...Smile at this drum, ~~~~~~~~~~~ This smile drum is one I have played with at work. It may not be what immediately pops into your head as a drum, but this is what it is it's a smile drum. This toy/musical instrument is a bit like a traditional hand mirror in shape. It has a long cylindrical handle with a drum circle at the top. The drum is just a drumming fabric stretched across the circle. The drum has a smiley face printed on it, it measures 20cm across. Young babies and children always respond well to a face on a toy the two eyes and mouth. The smile face printed on this drum is rather appealing. Attached either side to the coloured plastic frame that circles the drumming fabric are two beads that are attached with a piece of string. This drum is made in pink, y yellow, orange, or green To play this drum...

Big Brother

Advantages: Nightly Entertainment, Can Be Good At Times
Disadvantages: Ran Out of Ideas, Repetitive

...Everyone has an opinion on Big Brother, regardless of whether you watch it or not. For some, it's entertaining. For others, it's pointless TV, watched by idiots, which is taking up time and money which could be used on other shows. ~~~ What's it About ? ~~~ Basically, a group of everyday people are put into a house which is completely covered by televsion cameras and microphones. The show then runs for a number of weeks (10+). The contestants participate in daily tasks which they must complete in order to gain a reward. They also get a main task which covers a few days, which depending on their performance, either earns them a food budget to buy what they like from the shopping list or earns them rice and other basic food. The contestants also nominate each other to decide who faces eviction. The public then vote for who...

Review of Channel 4 - Big Brother

Very Reliable Brother

Advantages: Cordless phone, quick document scanning
Disadvantages: small recording time of answering machine

...The Brother FAX-1560 is an inkjet fax machine with an integrated telephone as well as an answering machine. The use of inkjet technology means that your received fax documents will be of high quality, but will not be waterproof like all inkjet technology using devices. Other technologies are also put into practice on this fax machine, one technological advantage is the transmission of super fine details and the auto-correctness of errors that occur during transmission. Another advantage is the Fax machines ability to reduce long documents to A4 size. The on-board modem delivers a 14,400 bps(bits per second) transfer speed, which converts to 14 kbps (kilo-bits per second). Which does not seem a lot, but is sufficient enough to transfer the required data. This is because all fax machines as well as this one convert documents into...

Fat Kit Kat

Advantages: Taste, quality, Size, Filling
Disadvantages: ...none

...Having just eaten a Kit Kat Chunky Caramel it seems I'm eating these in the wrong order, but the Kit Kat chunky is another of the now rather extended Kit Kat brand chocolate bars by Nestle. The idea of a ?chunky? Kit Kat is that it's thicker than a normal one with much more wafer in the centre making up the vast part of it's bulk. The bar looks more like a Yorkie than a typical 2 (or 4) finger Kit Kat in general shape though it keeps the red of the Kit Kat we all know and love, the Kit Kat logo and the Kit Kat biscuit formula. Nutritional Information (per 50g bar) 261 Calories 3.1g Protein 31.6g Carbohydrates 13.4g Fat Sorry for putting that so early into the review but with Kit Kats (and Nestle in general) not having the treat wise guide on them, it's actually a struggle to read the nutrition details due to the fact I...
