Can anyone please recommend a reliable alarm system that requires no contract or has a 1 yr contract for renters? Our landlord gave us permission to install an alarm system in the condo that we're renting for 2 years, but Brinx requires the owner to set it up and has a 3 year contract. It looks like ADT has a 3 year contract as well and doesn't have that great of customer service. Any recommendations? Thanks!
The Rute and Rute 606 by Vic Firth are basically the standard models. They have more of a drumstick style feel. The sound is a cross between a stick (when played hard) and a brush (when played soft.) I would suggest starting with one of these models. Once you play with that pair for a bit, you may want to add a lighter or heavier model to your collection. Lighter Rute 303, Heavier Rute 202. As for what styles to play with them - they can be used for almost any style. They have gained popularity by being used on unplugged or acoustic gigs.
you can take a bunch of pans and beat on them with wooden spoons (it makes a lot of noise)
