As for Pollo songs check out the intro to 4 Sticks on the Live in Japan town CD. That'll wake you up. — drummer-Lava Rats Top

Felix Joined: May 30, 2008 Posts: 135	Posted on Jun 01 2008 04:29 AM Well, i would say, doublebass is not bad in surfmusic like man or astroman did. In traditonal surf from the 60's , doublebass is very bad... so you have ti decide what youzr surf style is cheers — Band: http://www.myspace.com/theterrortones Top

Bustercat Joined: Apr 19, 2008 Posts: 120	Posted on Jun 02 2008 02:43 AM i could see it being kind of cool if used right... think the drumming style of the Atlantics, with bass instead of toms,etc. Top
MattCrunk Joined: Apr 19, 2007 Posts: 92 Town Creek, Alabama	Posted on Jun 09 2008 03:30 PM I'm not a drummer, but I occasionally play one for the sake of home-recording. To me, less is more when it comes to surf music, no matter which instrument you play. I think the instrumentation should fit the music, visually as well as sonically. When I'm watching a metal band, an 80 piece power kit can be da shi'aat. But for a surf drummer, anything beyond a simple four piece kit looks like overkill. I don't even like to see two mounted toms, or two floor toms in a surf kit. Nothing looks cooler than a vintage four-piece Slingerland or Ludwig kit for surf. Just my .02 cents. — Matt Crunk Decatur, Alabama Founder: North Alabama Surf Alliance (NASA) Top

I am a drummer that is learning guitar.I always liked a 5 piece until I started playing samba and later surf and needed the ride cymbal in the 2nd mounted tom position so I could keep up that ride pattern without my arm falling off(or feeling like it) ! I love Ludwig Silver Sparkle or Black Diamond pearl. james Top

Klas Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 2293 Stockholm, Sweden	Posted on Jun 22 2008 04:25 PM Not surf but the drumming heard on many tracks by Terry & the Bunnys are among my all time favorite. Don't know how much or in what way they actually used two bass drums since I can't recall noticing it. — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top
