dw drums

Welp, after multiple bands and many years of playing my DDrum Dominion maple kit out as my live kit... I've decided to change it out! Here is my new kit! And there's a small sound clip with just a couple of mics on it at the end. Let me know what you think!

Finally found someone in town with some gold vinyl that could print off my logo! So added my Spaz Approved and DW logo to the kick How do you remove the stock logo from a bass drum head?! Tried acetone and it didn't work...

I want to work on more promotional video editing and so I just bought two of these stands and figured to give it a try. This is a great stand by DW and the floating feet are incredible and my favorite feature.

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 think this is my best demo video to date but I will leave that up to you guys!! Here is my latest snare demo in "the sounds of snares" series. Unfortunately my daughter who started the series did not want to participate in this episode but hopefully I can get her back in the future!! Enjoy the...

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...

I am super excited for this addition!! Added my 14x8 snare onto the kit. What a BEAST!!! This snare drum sounds AMAZING.. Here's a sound clip comparing my 14x6.5 with my new 14x8 DW Collectors series snare drums! What do you think?!

Saw one like this on FB and said I could make one of those! luckily I had all the parts lying around. Just a PDP mic mount and DW Clamp mixed together! Super simple, clean and solid!

Trying to get the biggest tone I can out of a 20" kick so I trying out the Evans EMAD2. How many of you rock the EMAD? It's my absolutely favorite go to head. Here is a video comparing the factory DW Remo head vs the EMAD2. Let me know what you think!

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 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!

Today, we tried a new reso head on my new DW Smoke Glass Contrails kit. I received this kit with a factory white semi ported remo head. Now, me personally, I am an EVANS drum head guy.. but I thought I would do a three point comparison. 1) Factory Semi Ported head with the mic set to center2)...

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?

I had a lot of requests for sound clips of my new kit once I got it all setup and ready to go. I've been debating how long to leave the stock heads on before changing them out so we'll see. But here is a quick sound clip along with an update of the new heads I will be installing. Let me know...

This is my new DW kit. It's a 6pc, (1up and 3down setup) 12" Rack tom, 14",16",18" floor toms. 20X18 kick and 14x6.5 single top edge snare! I'll of course post more pics and videos once I get a chance to set it up and tune her up to my liking! So stay tuned! **UPDATE** Got the kit all setup...

My first cover for 2024! Cold by Crossfade! Got to try out my new Sabian 24" AA Bash ride! What do you think?! How'd it sound!

Had a youtube request for a great supporter. Apparently this is his wedding song with his wife! Sounds like a good woman to me! So when he requested this I was more than happy to play his request. I tried doing some new lighting and I worked a lot on the mix. So I would love to hear some...

How many of you have or have had the DW Acoustic EQ Snare?! This thing is amazing! You really can hear and feel the difference because of those vents. What an awesome idea and invention on DW's part. This snare is truly amazing! I had the opportunity to play one and do a video all about it and...

This is truly one amazing drum. My friend Chris brought this over and I learned some really cool new things I never knew about! First, this wood is literally compressed from a large piece of wood into a smaller piece to make the wood as dense as possivle second, there's only two machines in...
