Greetings, I am planning on using professional studio monitors for my speakers. Here is my thought for the setup-please crtique me: TV: Has a Blu-Ray Player and an Amazon Fire TV Box (not the stick) hooked up to it. Has RCA Audio Outs and a Digital Audio Out. Receives inputs from the Blu...

Greetings, This came into my Amazon "Suggestions". Car vent clip mounted cymbals! What will they think of next? It's neat idea! Here's a link to the item...

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...

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...

Greetings, I am a traditional, round hard felt guy when it comes to bass drum beaters. That's just my sound, plus my feel. It's got some nice weight to it, so it gives me good power and good action on the pedal. I was never able to use these fancy light weight beaters (like the Tama Speed...

Greetings, I know that the original Armory Series had several different models of snares in that series, and I believe you could pick which one came with your kit (this was probably 5 years ago). I believe most (if not all) of them are discontinued, other than the Tomahawk, which comes with...

I know everything is going up exponentially these days, but Holy Moly.... I was thinking of upgrading to a DW 5000 series double pedal. I don't ever gig with a double pedal and I'm not a double pedal guy; I just keep one on the studio kit at home to practice and learn and improve on (which is...

Greetings, I picked up a B/O badge Ludwig Super Sensitive in a trade at the Chicago Drum Show. I've always wanted one. The seller (trader) said the wrong hoops were on the snare side. It currently has a "normal" snare hoop, but it is in the way of the snare mechanism, so I need a hoop with a...

Greetings, I was looking at a Pearl Optimount for a 12" Pearl tom that currently has no mount attached. Holy Moly they ain't cheap! I think I might just use a regular aftermarket suspension mount for that price. Even used ones are over the top expensive (for what it is). Any idea why these are...

Greetings, I got a used snare from ebay delivered today. It's a 12" Yamaha Manu Katche Hip Gig Snare (to match my existing kit...when I got the kit used it didn't come with a snare). It has the stock snare side Yamaha head, but the batter side has a Mapex branded Remo Unicorn head. I had...

Greetings, I am looking for a cymbal stand that uses a 7/8"tube diameter for the top section. Does anyone know of what brand/model that uses that size? The reason I am needing them is that this year for the Chicago Drum Show, I am going to have two, 16" very shallow depth drums (probably...

Greetings, I posted a demo/review of the Zildjian S Dark series cymbals. Let me know what you think! Enjoy! V

Greetings, I made a video highlighting some Attack heads. I am also using a new (to me) Sonor Force 3007 Maple kit. I talk about the heads, drums, tunings, preferences etc as well. I'm normally a singly ply guy all the way, so this was a new venture for me. Let me know what you think and...

Greetings, I am signed up for the Drumming News Network email newsletter and this was mentioned. It's not on the Gretsch Website as of yet. Looks like maybe mid-year 2025. That new mounting system looks very Mapex-ish, no? https://www.drummingnewsnetwork.com/?p=18710 Enjoy! P.S. I think...

Greetings, I often peruse ebay for all kinds of drum related items. Over the past month or so, I have noticed a lot of items, mostly drum sets, that have a very generic description. The seller doesn't mention sizes, details or really anything. The description usually follow this "script"...

Greetings, I haven't been able to get on Vater's website for several days. I have tried both on my Windows PC and my Android Phone. In both instances, I get a "This website took to long to respond" error. Anyone else having trouble accessing Vater's site? EDIT: If I go in through a search...

Greetings, Just a quick tip on playing brushes on mesh heads. I have mesh heads on my kit at the studio where I teach. A few of my students are learning brushes, and the wire brushes I have at the studio constantly snag on the mesh heads, which makes it hard to get a smooth pattern happening...

Greetings, I just picked up a used 6 piece Sonor Force 3007 Maple in a red to black burst gloss lacquer (yes I will post pictures once I get them polished up a bit). I am not too familiar with Sonor's offerings, but I knew this was a solid kit and I got it for a really great price. I found a...

Greetings, I'm not sure if this has been brought up before or not (I did a search on the forum for "Yamaha YD", and I got a lot of results for "Yamaha" of course, and the lexicon said "YD" was left out because it was too common???). Anyway, I was reminded again today after seeing a used Yamaha...

Greetings. Sorry if this is a long "rant" but I thank you in advance for reading this...........I'm certain many of you can identify with my emotions here: I had a jazz trio gig on NYE. Piano, bass and me. We had played together before many times, but we rehearsed the night before just to go...
