I recently inherited this old Ludwig five-piece drum set. It requires a wrench to adjust the hardware and bears some similarity to the Ludwig Butcher's Block drum sets of the 1970s. This narrows it down to the right ballpark, but I am having trouble finding an exact match online. The rack tom...

Couldn't decide which effects cymbal to add to my Stratus series cymbals so I bought them both.. and added a splash! :) In typical Zack fashion of course! I absolutely love the new sounds added to the collection and kit. Here is a sound clip of my new Stratus Zero crash and China along with...

I really wanted to know... when you buy a Hand Hammered cymbal that you didn't hear in person but heard online.. how close will it sound to what you thought you heard? So to find out... I bought TWO HH Session rides! These are the Todd Sucherman signature series rides! Any questions just let...

Here is a sound demo for the HH Sessions ride. It's truly a GREAT ride cymbal. To me, it is the sound to perfectly describe a "RIDE CYMBAL" if that makes sense. A strong ping, a little wash, and yet still able to go at it aggressively if needed~! Check out my sound demo here:

Haven't made any content in awhile.. just had a kidney stone and before that been golfing lol but.... i picked up 5 new cymbals from Sabian so you'll see some new videos coming out!!! Let's start with this killer set of 15" HHX Groove hats!

Is $170 too much for a 19" Sabian AA Rock crash? Currently I only have 1 (decent) 16" generic crash & are looking for a 2nd to upgrade my kit There's also a 17" Sabian Vault Crash for for $5 more

I was out at the bar and this song came on and I couldn't believe how many people got into this song lol So I said this would be a fun drum cover and sure enough for pop-punk it definitely was a lot of fun!

Tonight I get to see Mike Portnoy himself hits these splashes!! I'm heading to Chicago to watching Dream Theater!! Before I go, I thought I would share this video featuring his new MAXX Splashes! I can't wait to hear them play!

Finally got a chance to play my new Mike Portnoy Sabian Signature HHX Max Ride! What a change of tone for me compared to what I've been playing and I love it! Recently I have been playing washy rides like my AA Bash Ride and the BFM Ride.. so this Medium-Heavy weight ride feels like being back...

Hi mates, I would like to hear your opinion on this topic. It often happens that you have a dream China cymbal or you hear only praises about it from other people, but after personal experience you don't like it at all.

Alright everyone... here's some crazy and exciting news for me in 2025... I'm starting a second project!! My current band Benjamin Trick is still together and we are getting ready to go back into the recording studio with some new songs! But, I'm also working in a new metal band project. We...

I have a new drum student who's 12 and she really wants to learn this song.. so I thought I would surprise her and do a drum cover for her! Here is my cover of Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

I can't even tell you how excited and yet how nervous I am to post this drum cover. I am a HUGE Mike Portnoy fan and the fact that he is back behind the throne of the kit with the band makes me beyond happy and excited. I've wanted to do a drum cover of any Dream Theater song sooo many times but...

Sabian announced some new sizes for the Stratus series cymbals and I had to try them out! 15" hi-hats, 17" & 19" Crashes and a giant 22" Ride!! Right up my alley and I can't wait to try them out this week!! I made this demo video for those interested in them. Dark and washy and I love them...

Check it out! Made some changes to the drum room... I'm trying to sell my giant speaker setup and so I took that out of the room along with my old display and put up this other one I had that I hadn't brought home yet! Room is looking good!! Now to figure out how to clean up my tool/spare drum...

I'm really starting to dial in this new kit! I'm also starting to play around with more lighting. I know I have a lot to learn and working on making adjustments but I think this video turned out pretty good! i would love to hear what you think!

I saw an email about the Sabian Rocktagon making a come back so I had to try one out! I absolutely love this thing!! I'm going to add it to the kit for sure! Here's a short sound clip I put together. What do you think of the Rocktagon? Anyone else rocking the Rocktagon?!

Any Sabian fans out there? I picked up another Sabian banner to go in the drum room. Looks great with the Sabian cymbal trees, stools, lights and even a mug. What do you think?!

I took some time off of drumming.. so I'm really hoping to get back into it. Was a short break but any and all breaks make a difference... Hopefully you enjoy my latest drum cover "Out of Control" by Hoobastank! i would love to hear your feedback, good or bad!

I'm filling in for this 90s band again next week and while I was just running through some of their songs I just felt compelled to turn on the mis and camera and record this drum cover. It's such a simple straight forward song but I just love it. What do you think?
