Nice score Weezy, the 6.5s are a bit harder to find, especially with 10 lugs. Even with the cost of a replacement strainer it'll be a heck of a deal!

I've always loved the zoomatic, I've owned several krupas and a couple of artist models, never had any problems. I do see lots for sale with the tension knob broken off, which is not repairable. As...
I've seen people use african Dun Duns with pedals before, they sound amazing! You would probably need some kind of cradle/lifter for it though.

What's not to get? People collect stuff, usually stuff they're interested in. How is it any different from a guitarist who owns multiple guitars? Or someone who collects coins or baseball cards, its...
Man, I am really digging the triangle configuration, hadn't ever seen that before...
Used to have the hi-hats, amazingly crisp and bright. Great sounding hats that really cut. I would definitely own another pair.
I've used that sparklebrite sticky back craft stuff they sell for cheap on ebay and was not impressed at all. It didn't look very good or go on very easily in my opinion. The barstool stuff looks...
Dude, those toms look incredible! The finish really pops, especially with the contrasting marine pearl wrap! I've used tung oil before on some conga drums and was very impressed with not only the...
Sizes are much more important to me than finishes. I'm cool with almost all finishes, so long as they aren't incredibly tacky, but the standard solid, sparkle, flame wraps and natural stains and...
Beautiful kit Doc! I've been seeing these Brooklyn sets around the net lately, have been wondering about them. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal!
Definitely agree, your throne is the most important piece of your kit in my opinion! Good technique begins with good posture!
Nail on the head PB, nothing makes a kit sing like a fresh set of heads!
I marched BD for a while in highschool. It can be the easiest percussion to march or one of the hardest. It really depends on who is writing the percussion parts. In marching percussion the BD line...
Thanks for the welcoming and comments guys!
My dream kit would be an early 60s Slingerland 20/12/14 with matching 1ply radio king in Blue Ripple Pearl wrap w/ vintage Istanbul K cymbals
Hey everyone, been a while since I've been on DC. I've been apartment dwelling and don't get to drum much lately, but wanted to show off my newly purchased Gretsch kit. 1981 "Pro Jazz" set in white...
Ahh ok, not very familiar with pearls finishes, just looked like the pic of the guitar. I tried, good luck!

"The Essance of Afro Cuban Percussion & Drumset"
Great book with instruction for drum set, congas, bongos, timbales, accessory percussion, as well as how all the parts fit together and even music...
There's a 16x14 Session tom in that finish on ebay at the moment ...
My parents took me to free blues concerts in the park every summer when I was a little kid (some really big names), but the first concert that I actually bought a ticket for was Candlebox in the...

Have to agree with Drumbledore, I've tried many different beaters with the gajate, and your basic round wood beater is not your best choice for using on the cowbell. Its very loud and like...

This guy has one in his setup, he plays it around 4:00. Sounds pretty cool...
