let's see some of your drummer shots

drummers are often the hardest to capture. at the back of the stage, behind all sorts of drums, cymbals, stands, microphones, other people's gear, other people........you get the point. so let's see what you got. i'll start with one of my favorite drumming duo's: butch trucks and jaimoe of the allman brothers. they play so well together.

Quite a few here

Here's a few of mine not great only just started shooting bands

nice, i'm glad someone else is playing along. i'll throw up one more. jeff sipe aka "apt q-258" is one of my favorite drummers. i need to do a little more pp work on this one as i really like the comp. it makes it easier when you are on a more personal level with the musician.

I'm a definite event photograpy noob myself... focus and lighting issues still kill me!

Here's a few from the 9th, when Brian Stace came and played for the troops here on Camp Bondsteel (Jeff Jarett on drums):

i hope this is not an insulting question, but do you know about ISO, fstop, and shutter speeds?

Not too much, got any good reading material?

cmgmyr, the composition of your shots is great, #2 in particular is fantastic.

Thank you, I'm glad you like them. I just picked up a Digital Rebel over the weekend, so this weekend I should get some better looking shots

Probabely easier then the Powershot as well
Set your ISO to about ISO 1600, open up the aperture, and shoot, shoot, shoot!

I have one of a small local band.

you're gonna need some "fast glass" to go with that, if you want to shoot music (in dark settings).
this thread has a 50 1.8 which is a great price to get you started:
