I know this will rub some people the wrong way, but I genuinely can't stand how over produced and aligned to the grid most music is now, I used to be into metal as a kid and now I can't stand any modern recording, it's all very digital and synthetic it just sucks the fun out of it, I've seen...

I have not 1 but 2 really good vintage snare drums that need their strainer replaced, do you guys have any suggestions on how to install a new one? Keep in mind in based in the UK and probably won't have the chance to order certain parts and all.

Since everyone is talking about Iron Maiden and their new drummer it reminded me this article I read the other day, it's a fascinating read: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/why-rock-bands-keep-firing-their-drummers/

I use hard cases but I'm pretty fed up of moving them as thing do get heavier, I'm thinking of getting soft bags do you guys have any experience? I bet they protect the drums less in transport but should do the job if I'm careful?

I've been on a hunt for a 16" by 12" bass drum, really got into Elvin's playing recently and have a Catalina club with an 18" bass drum I really love, love it in my jazz bands even more than my MIJ Yamaha C200 at times. Some time ago I got a kids drum kit and been using the bass drum for...

Been following a couple of guys on facebook and instagram and I'm really fascinated by the way they play drums, I'm not sure exactly where they are from but I supect Algeria or Tunisia, they do have a very interesting style I have never heard anything like that before, do any of you guys know...

I know this may sound like a basic question but really I see the purpose of a flat ride as a quieter cymbal, potencially 18 that I really play when playing in jazz trios or really small venues when I'm with a bigger band like a quintet or a quartet. I'm implying that the sizzle makes cymbals...

What's the deal with plastic brushes? I have never used them myself but a local drummer here uses them a lot, anyone has any suggestion or specific application??

hey been using a couple of different brushes most of my life, the Vic Firth WB and the Regal Tip Yellow Yacket (which is now discontinued) both retractible and with plastic handles, one the first has some sort of hard plastic which even allow you for rimshots, they are very sturdy brushes and I...

Anyone has experience with these two types of cymbals? First I'm a bit confused about the terminology I thought Swish were the same as Pangs but with a few rivets, right? That's what I thought at least until I have found a few Swish cymbals without rivets and a few Pangs with rivets? Is it...

I'm looking for a felt bass drum beater that is fairly soft, I don't mean a flaffy beater but rather a round classic felt that is not as hard as plastic, I mean I have purchased 3 from different vendors online and gone to a few music shops but seems like all felt beater nowadays are really hard...

I have a Stagg Jia snare but it has a bit missing on the throw off mechanism which makes it unusable, I'm looking to replace it but I can't find anything that really fits, has anyone got any suggestion on parts that do fit on this snare please? I really don't want to drill the shell, any...

I was thinking of getting a new kit to play with a jazz quintet I recently joined, I often find my 20" bass a litte too much to carry around and I wouldn't mind trying an 18" since I already got a 16" (from an 80s / 90s Honner kids drum kit that I play with a trio). I've seen a couple of kits...

Hey guys, last Sunday I had a jam with a couple of friends in a new rehearsal studio, we play jazz standards really so I brought my own drums but used the stands there, the hihat stand was a bit weak, inconsistend and had a different feel to what I am used with my own stand. The whole kit and...

Hello fellow drummers, What is the model of brushes that you found to be the loudest, and what about the softest? I find the Vic Firth WB quite loud and the Regal Tip Yellow Jacket very soft but I would love to hear your thoughts :)

Hello fellow drummers, I'm going to start with an apology just in case I am in the wrong section of the forum, if I am please admins move it wherever it should be :) I'm transcribing the drum part of Confirmation by Charlie Parker, while I completed the whole head and I'm going to move to the...

Hello fellow forummers, I've got an old video of myself playing some hip hoppish electronicish drums I recorded like 5 years ago, I'm using a bit of a weird set up with 2 snare drums and a bunch of cymbals, let me know what you think :)

Hello DrummerWorld, I wonder if you guys can help me get the year of production of this 20" ride, I had it very cheap as the owner passed away last year, I suppose it's from the 70s and it's an A by it's sounds, quite loud compared to what I was after, think I'm gonna sell it but need more...

On the look for a quiet jazz ride cymbal came across this, never actually played in real life but had a good listen to samples online so I'm quite keen to get one soon, book a day off work and go to London to a few drum shops and try it myself. Does anyone have this cymbal? or tried it? would...

Hello drummers, I would like to get an opinion from you guys in regards to this method anyone ever used it? it's very popular in classical music conservatoires in Italy and France, I have been using it for years now and been introduced to it by my second teacher years ago, he used it heavily in...
