The most common and obvious is, "What (insert product type here) should I buy?"

[Dealas]

Hehe... Whoops. Forgot about that. I'll check it out.

Oh - and don't forget the tuna...

[DrummerChef]

Uh Oh, Poco said the T word.

[DrummerChef]

Dealas, Thank you for your work in organizing this. It is definitely more streamlined now. Awesome!

[bstric1]

Dealas, add this thread to the metronome section. It is where we discussed personal metronome preferences the first time (a long time ago).

http://www.freedrumlessons.com/drum-forums...pic=221&hl=

This should be helpful to some of our newer members.

Also this would be a great thread to be pinned.

[Dealas]

Yes, that's a good thread. I'll add it.

[bstric1]

Im not sure how this thread always falls so far back, it is so useful. Anyways I figured the tab guide thread I made could be useful as a link in this one.

[JiffishHank]

Great list Dealas. I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

[Tom]

Good work man, this will help alot of people

[Poco Askew]

A topic was started yesterday about buying used drums. A drum buyers' guide would be awesome. Where and what to look for and look out for, etc. Maybe we can build on that topic or start one and add it here. Sounds like a volunteer statement, doesn't it?

Sounds like you stepped in it this time Poco! Good luck!

Oy! Hopefully, I've stepped in something good.

[JiffishHank]

I thought this thread needed a good bump. There is a LOT of useful information here. I wonder if everybody completely forgot about it.

[Dealas]

Yes, it does need a little bump every once in a while.

[bstric1]

Yea if only we had a way for this to be the first thread new members saw.......*cough*sticky...

Actually this would be a great thread to be linked off the lessons page; frequently asked questions by new drummers.

[Dealas]

Or maybe add it to the bottom of the Rules page... hmm...

[Poco Askew]

..or sticky it like it should be along with the new member introduction.

I was just finding a way of stickying it without actually saying the word *stick*.
