| Dear
Roxy, |
| I'm
saving up to buy a new double-pedal, ... and I'm reading all
these catalogs which describe chain drives and stuff. Is there
really that big a difference between a $500 Iron Cobra and the
$150 Tama. I gig quite often, but to me, a working pedal's a
working pedal. Any Advice? -

| Hi
Karl, ... I still use Camco chain drive pedals from my Vixen
days and they're still kickin' ass. Catlogs are cool but you
really need to feel the difference between the Iron Cobra and
the $150 Tama. Try out the pedals at a music store and see what
works for you. |

| Dear Roxy, |
| I'm
a girl and I also play drums,...I've seen videos of you playing
in Leather and Heels. How do you do it? I'm most comfortable
in shorts and cross trainers, but I want to glam up a bit. Woman
to woman any advice? - Penny

with hair and makeup, especially since that's what is more visable
to the audience. Shorts can be sexy ans well as comfy, Bebe
Sports has really sexy workout wear that can also look great
on stage. My trick for shoes is that I walk on stage with heels
but slip into a pair of comfortable drum shoes that are resting
on my kick pedals. When the show's over, I slip back into my
heels. Rock on gurrl! |

| Dear
Roxy, |
| My
buddy plays a piccolo snare in his band... what's the difference
between that and a regular snare? And what's the difference
between a steel (metal) snare and a wood one? -
Dave ... (no pun with this one) in Deltona |
| Hi
Dave, A piccolo snare usually measures 14" x 3½"
and is perfect for tight crisp drumming styles. It's higher
pitched but too but to bright for my taste. A wood snare has
warmth, solid punch and more bottom than the metal drum which
is known for it's crack and volume that can be heard for miles.
