Agreed on her ability. Now compare that to what she sells.

DESTROYING SILENCE!!!

There certainly exists good music that is popular, but a lot of popular music that is simply processed noise.

I currently have a Starclassic Maple, Starclassic W/B, had a Star Maple (rounding on bearing edges not my thing but excellent kit). I also have an SQ2 and a Prolite from Sonor. If I could only have one, it would be the Starclassic Maple. Incredible resonance, fullness, dynamic range, depth and...

In all seriousness, there is a huge difference between what is popular and what is good music.

I think we found a closet lady goo goo fan...

Very Lucky!

Best movie ever made right there!

Truth can be hard.

Apple Music - artists are paid I believe? Regardless, the days of records and CDs are long past.

Not when I'm not downloading that crap. I'm downloading good music.

A band member many moons ago told me something I never forgot when we were arguing over how simple our material sounded (to which I hated). He told me, 'Simple Sells.' This is modern 'pop' music. Much of which is just one long chorus over and over and over and over and over again, with voice...

100% SPOT ON On 'The Wrecking Crew' documentary Hal Blaine talked about their cost savings in recordings. 'Our crew could come in (all being the best sight readers and all phenomenal musicians) and record the backing instruments in 2-3 days versus the 2-3 weeks it would have taken the actual band.'

I think the angle does in fact have some effect, I just can't remember exactly what that effect is.....

Side note - Gretsch were so ahead of their time.

Thx guys - that's what I was seeing, but not interpreting correctly. I believe this is also similar to what DW took from Gretsch for their BD angle?

Please help the visually challenged. When I look at the pic below, it appears to me that the bass drum bearing edge is sharper than the snare and tom edges. Yet supposedly it's less sharp. What am I not seeing here? I mean the angle, not the R1.5 edge (slight rounding).

Yep. Rip current he could not get out of in Costa Rica. Not all beach currents are the same. I learned this living in Florida. You never know.

This is also excellent advice. I had an old Pearl Session Custom (SRX) with the 6 ply maple shell and the older 'Opti-Mounts.' When I removed the drums from the mount they all sang. So I spent a couple hundred bucks at the time and upgraded it with the Gauger RIMS mounts. TOTALLY DIFFERENT KIT...

JDA nailed it. You TENSION not tune drums. You fine tune drums. You want to take the drum(s) to their highest pitch, up to the point where any further inhibits resonance and meaningful sustain. Using the correct star pattern, gradually increment the heads up to that point, rotating between top...
