    PR Snare Case Sizes

    Hey KEEF, Here's what you can do to make the drum fit snugly (aka make the case smaller): Go to Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart and get some 1" thick foam squares. I know Wal-Mart has 16" x 16" squares that are 1" thick, which works perfect. Get no smaller than 16", though. You'll need 2 pieces...

    Are kids and hobbyists getting priced out of drumming?

    That is absolutley INSANE! At the Music City Drum Show last weekend, the Guitar Center booth was doing brand new 14" Coated Ambassador heads for $12.99 each as a show special. They were individually wrapped in plastic bags (no boxes). I know Pro Drum is a great place, but that price is VERY...

    If you could have a day behind anyone else's kit (past or present), what kit would it be?

    I saw this one set up at the Music City Drum Show this year. According to the owners (the people that bought it from Dave himself), this is the actual kit that Weckl used on tour with Chick Corea and for the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship Concert. I refute that claim however, because in the...

    Is there a difference between the DW 3000 and DW 5000 Round Thrones?

    Other than, of course, the 5000 is a spindle/corkscrew height adjustment and the 3000 is a tube with memory lock height adjustment. Is everything else the same, the legs, the seat thickness etc? It seems to be best as I can tell. They look identical, including the seat. Also, I have an older...

    Anyone attending the Music City Drum Show in Nashville?

    He and I chatted for a while. He was helping out his friends at the Turkish Cymbal Booth, but I don't belive he is a rep or employee.

    Ludwig Atlas Pro Pedal-Discontinued?

    Greetings, I think Bermuda might be able to chime in on this. I know Ludwig has 3 lines of "pro" hardware (not incuding the stands that come with the Accent or Backbeat stuff). The Atlas Standard, The Atlas Pro and the Atlas Classic (flat base). In addition to the Speed King, I noticed that...

    Direct drive second tier

    The Mapex Falcon is a great pedal. I own one and love it. It can also be a "3-in1", as you can get a strap or chain drive conversion kit for it for pretty cheap. Installing the new drive is as simple as loosening two screws, putting the new drive in and reassembling the screws.

    Fibes Bop Kit

    Great score! What a cool wrap! I'm not too familiar with Fibes.....is that snap in spur storage thingie factory or was it added on (at least I assume it is meant to hold the spur for transport)? If so, why does it have to come out at all? Can't it just retract into the shell?
