Playing at a small airport in Kansas. The runway was maybe only100 yards away or closer. One plane flew by 2 or 3 times leaving a smoke trail just a few feet off the ground.

I'm getting adds also on my Android. I haven't logged in from my laptop to see if adds are there too.

I bought one of these a while back and really like it.

Kansas Danny Carey Phil Ehart There might be more.

I've looked for something like that before and asked on forums but I didn't come up with anything. I think with today's technology that should be available.

What Heartbeat said 100% Ludwig classics. The snare is not a Ludwig.

Yes, so they should be able to produce a good kick sound.

Buy a used drum amp. I have a 200 watt Simmons, I paid $120 for it. It should work fine for rehearsals.

I sent you a PM.

I think I still have one of those in my drum junk box. I just remember it came off a kick that was given to me in 1977. I don't remember a brand name on it.

I've always loved SK1 with a regulator on the front ported. I've also used super 2 Tom heads clear on a high-end Yamaha Birch kit and they sounded great. Right now, the only Aquarian head I have is a super 2 coated on a 16 inch floor Tom, and it sounds real good.

I've had SK1 on several drums and really, really like it. I have not tried the SK2.

I've read that smaller thin cymbals record better. Having said that, my band went into a studio in the 80s and the 14" Paiste 2000 really sounds exceptional on those recordings. I think my other crashes were 16" A Zildjian thin or med thin and a 18" Paiste 2002, I think it was just labeled...

We have a lot of acoustic duos and single acts going on in my area (Kansas) too. I have a Cajon but it's very hard on my back and I'm not very good at it. My son-in-law made it for me. I wish my classic rock band would turn down just a little.

I like sticks that are slightly longer than standard 5A sticks. Maybe because I have a short reach.
