Hello all! I’m a metal drummer and just getting my first pair of triggers, specifically footblasters. I have the equipment I need to record them into my DAW, but I am unaware of the type of amp I would need to play with them casually/in a live situation. I have heard that some amps cannot handle...

Hello all! I recently put a new reso head on a 5.5x14 Pearl Masters Maple Complete snare, and plan on replacing the batter as well. Currently it has a Remo emperor coated vintage as the batter, and a Evans hazy 500 as the reso. I’m aiming for lots of attack and note separation when playing blast...

Hello all! Around 6 months ago I got a pair of Iron Cobra 900 powerglides, and within the last month or so they have started to feel like they’re losing responsiveness regardless of spring tension/other settings. I just replaced the springs with the heavier gauge ones that Tama sells and it has...

Hello all! I have a Zildjian A 18 rock crash with a crack forming along a lathe line, picture below. Currently I cannot afford a new one, so any advice regarding fixing/preserving it would be greatly appreciated. Preserving this cymbal is my top priority over sound quality.Thank you for your...

Hello all! I have a relatively new (6 month old) pair of Iron Cobra 900 powerglide singles on 2 kick drums. I have both at max spring tension, the cobra coils removed, and the footboard/beater angles similar enough that they look the same. My right pedal however feels much less responsive than...

Hello all! I’m a beginner metal drummer trying to improve his technique to play faster songs. I’m struggling to play much over 190 bpm 16ths on my kicks, which is admittedly due to me using an inefficient full leg motion. I’ve been attempting lately to learn ankle technique, as it seems more...

Hello all! I want to try and start recording drum covers for YouTube, I have mics and an interface that I can record with, and now I’m looking into a camera to record video. I don’t need it for anything other than drumming videos, so it doesn’t have to be waterproof or have any other features...

Hello all! I’m the drummer for a band that has been recording live as a group using a 8 channel Focusrite Scartlet 18i20. We’ve been getting good results but due to miking the guitar and bass amps, along with my two kicks, snare, and overheads my toms are getting lost in the mix. I’m looking...

Hi all! I’m the drummer for a starting band going through some dynamic changes with the singer and we’re unsure what member or members will be taking up vocal duties in the future. Any input on a cost effective solution for echo/reverb effects on a live vocal microphone for raw vocals by someone...

Hi all! Recently I’ve been struggling with keeping my kick drums from sliding. I have a Pearl Masters Maple Complete kit, and despite playing on a high shag carpet my kicks still move, and I have not been able to make the spurs protrude from the legs of the drum. Any insight on how to make the...

Hi all! I’m a metal drummer with two separate kicks who uses heel up, thats trying to decide between a pair of Iron cobra 900 single pedals and a pair of speed cobra 910 single pedals, to replace my iron cobra 200 and 600 I’m currently using. Would appreciate your thoughts & recommendations...

Hello, all...and thanks for your time and consideration. In the process of attempting a first-time, at-home recording. My understanding is that once 8 pieces of the kit were mic'd up, the 8 XLR cables would go to the audio interface, which would then connect to the laptop/DAW. I had...
