This head features a thin underlay at the outer edge of the head to subtly dampen unwanted overtones. And, it creates a near-perfect balance of response and tone control that has quickly made Powerstroke 3 one of Remo’s most preferred drum heads. Listen to what people have to say about it:<br /><br />&quot;When I purchased my kit I was displeased with its heads and then purchased the Remo Powerstroke 3 head. It was wonderful and I absolutely love it. This head provides me with the strength, attack, sound, and value I have always wanted. Remo is definitely my number one choice.&quot; LiL' Drummer Boi from Gastonia, NC.<br /><br />&quot;I just recently changed the head on my 22&quot; kick, and I went from a REMO weatherking to the Powerstroke 3. I had to stuff the drum excessively with the weatherking, to keep the ring down, and the sound was flat, and had no &quot;click&quot; to it. With the Powerstroke, I was able to take out most of the stuffing and the sound is great. It has a deep, loud boom with a satisfying click and no ring. Beautiful...&quot; ShadesOfBlack from Oakland, MD.<br /><br />&quot;Incredible sound, punch, response. An overall outstanding product. With over 10 years of experience of playing drums, with no doubt this is the best bass drum head I have ever owned.&quot; Anonymous Musician from Starkville, MS.<br /><br />Its no wonder Remo is the Standard on 90% of Drum sets. This is a premier head for the money.

The owner of the store claims that Elvis was more interested in buying a rifle, but that his mother Gladys feared he would shoot someone or himself. Another story tell of Elvis wish for a new bicycle but could not afford the $55.00 to price tag. And &nbsp;Gladys was concerned that her precious 10 year old could injury himself, even though Elvis could be seen driving his parent to church meetings in a rusted-out truck by the time he could reach the pedals. Together with a local teacher and his uncle Vester Presley Elvis learned to play the instrument.<br /><br />1951 - Elvis' 16th Birthday.

Ever since I was little I had a knack for performance. My parents have endless hours of home videos of me and my sisters performing in all kinds of made-up bands. Rarely did a month go by when we were not practicing for some kind of performance and making posters so that are parents would know to come to the show.<br /><br />My mom always popped popcorn and brought snacks and they enjoyed our live shows just as they would a movie at the local theatre. As a child, I had no idea how much the support of my parents was instilling in me such a deep belief in my own abilities. I loved playing my harmonica most of all.<br /><br />Looking back, I'm quite sure that I never had a harmonica lesson in all of my years of music playing. My father bought me a harmonica for my seventh birthday after I had been begging for one for nearly a year. When I wasn't busy with my guitar or piano lessons, you could fin me on our front porch struggling to learn the harmonica on my own. It must have come somewhat naturally to me because I was playing it in a folk band by the time I entered high school.<br /><br />My sisters and I became known in our town as budding musicians. This was a title we loved and desperately wanted to live up to. We would rush home from school each day and spend hours playing songs in our makeshift garage studio that my parents had so graciously turned over to us. I played my harmonica and sometimes played the guitar.<br /><br />My older sister was the lead singer of our little band and she played the violin sometimes too. The two youngest sisters worked hard to become proficient at the piano and the guitar. We had quite the little set up going on. I loved nothing more than the songs that I didn't have to do anything other than stand and play my harmonica.<br /><br />I have loved the harmonica I think because it is so simple and small. I've always been a simple person and I have strived to live simply in every way. So I guess my love for the tiny harmonica came to me honestly. I never owned more than one harmonica at once, though, because that would be excessive. So every year or so I'd sell my harmonica and buy an updated one that fit my mouth just right.<br /><br />Playing the harmonica has been one of the smallest things yet one of the biggest blessings of my life. http://www.emusicguides.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1199725195/0#0 eMusic Guides Forum/Song Writing YaBB Administrator Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:59:55 +0000 1. Listen to a variety of music. When I make time to listen to others’ music, it gives my creativity a jump start. It’s kind of like eating – I try to digest a variety of music to give me a balanced diet of inspiration. When I listen, my subconscious picks up nuances and riffs and tone, and later when I am writing my own music, I find myself writing much more fluently. <br />2. Practice singing harmony. One of the best abilities that you can develop as a songwriter is to be able to sing harmony on the fly. As you drive in your car, practice singing harmony to the music you’re listening to. Singing harmony on the fly is really an act of composition, and as you become more fluent, it will help your composition ability. <br />3. Keep a digital recorder with you. I make a habit to keep a digital recorder with me at all times. You never know when a great new melody might come to you, and I even find that I am more likely to come up with a melody if I have a recorder with me. I especially recommend having one by your bed; I find that I will often wake up with a song running through my head, and having a recorder near enables me to get the melody down. <br />4. Practice your instrument while watching a movie. This is one of my favorite new tricks. I practice jazz chords and scales while watching DVD’s, and I find that multitasking in this way helps to make my playing more fluent. <br />5. Make time to jam with others. Even if you’re not in a group, make time to jam with musician friends. I find that looking forward to a jam session helps me to be a bit more creative – I want to have a song to share, and I tend to write more under a little pressure. <br />6. Find encourager's. It’s really important to find a few people who like your music and can encourage you. Writing music is a very personal act, and it’s hard to produce when you don’t get any positive feedback. Having friends who really enjoy my music and who can give me encouragement helps to keep me motivated. <br />7. Read poems and short stories. In the same what that I try to digest a variety of music, I also make an effort to read poetry and short stories. I find that tuning in to others’ imagination through reading helps me to be more imaginative, which helps my lyric writing ability <br />8. Challenge yourself to write one poem each day. I have disciplined myself to write one poem as I ride the bus to work each day, and I find that this helps me be able to produce lyrics for my songs when I need them. <br />9. Take existing poems or bible verses and write melodies for them. I keep my melody-writing ability fine tuned by taking existing poems and writing melodies for them. So far I have written melodies for the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, the book of James, and the book of Ephesians. Once again, the discipline of producing melodies helps me to be more creative. <br />10. Improvise Melodies while alternating between two chords of accompaniment. I have found this exercise to be an impetus to writing good melodies: with my left hand, I alternate between two chords, and with my right hand I improvise melodies. Again, practicing writing music on the fly helps to keep me creative. <br />11. Develop your ability to think in multiple lines of instrumentation. When music is going through your head, try to stretch your composition ability by thinking in multiple lines of music. It takes effort, but the more lines of instrumentation you are able to hold in your mind, the better you will be able to compose when it comes time to write. http://www.emusicguides.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1198636433/2#2 eMusic Guides Forum/Test Zone InYuco Wed, 26 Dec 2007 23:21:28 +0000 ...yeah nice site...i have got some Remo drum heads from you before.<br /> http://www.emusicguides.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1198697394/1#1 eMusic Guides Forum/General Board hockeygiant Wed, 26 Dec 2007 22:17:37 +0000 These are ok. &nbsp;Would like to see limp biskit in the mix. http://www.emusicguides.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1198684797/0#0 eMusic Guides Forum/General Board YaBB Administrator Wed, 26 Dec 2007 09:59:57 +0000 Be among the first to use this forum. &nbsp;This is a evolving forum with daily changes being added for your benefit.<br /><br />Start a new topic and have fun.<br /><br />Thanks for your inputs!
