1997 DW Collectors. Still playing it.
Ozones and their like sound really cool. They don't sound like a China and I certainly don't see them replacing China cymbals. Try and reproduce Wherever I May Roam with an ozone. Not the same animal...
I'll lend a few rules of thumb I've learned for tuning different snares. Small snares will always be high and big snares will always be low, but this does not dictate their tuning. A 13x3 piccolo...
Confused. Am I supposed to be impressed here? I honestly don't know what I just watched or why anyone is watching it.
A PA , mixer, console etc is a pre-amp. More correct is that there is an individual pre-amp at the top of every channel. So you want to have control of every drum to the main mix from behind the...
Beginner? First set of professional hats? Any! Anything professional will sound light years above what you have or as a novice will comprehend fully. If you don't like that answer then my...
I'm with Tom on this one. I love them all and you out there with your massive collections, but I don't have anything I don't use. I have four snares. Two DW Collectors that I use for my primary (14x6...
Jesus Christ Rick! Of all these guys on the drum forums I talk to, when I think of you I say "that's my kind of guy". Time is slippery and it gets away from you fast. Steady on my salty friend. And...
Well polishing the logos off is one way to make them match ;) I've done it myself, but they were all Sabian anyway. I just like that look. It's clean. Right now I have two sets, both Sabian. One is...
Mixing is fine if your buying used or transitioning from one brand to another. It will still sound great, but here's the caveat. They all make great cymbals in a wide variety of sounds that cater to...
Drove from Tucson to San Diego for a show sans cymbals. Doh! I didn't do my checklist. The other bands drummer was very cool and graciously let me play his after a good round of jabs. Lesson: Cymbals...
Dance with the one that brought you! I'm in the same situation as you (only slightly younger ;).
I've been playing my '97 DW Collectors for all of my gigs (500+) and rehearsals ever since I got it...
2015 S550 Mustang v6 Guard Metallic. Six speed transmission 310hp 0-60 in 5.3 sec. This ain't your grandmas v6 ;)
Those are sweet looking shells! What's the ply count? Are they the same as the old MMX shells?
35-24-36? That's an odd rack size!
Do not plug into the speaker! Run the sub off the PA and your kick drum mic into a free channel. You can run direct into a powered speaker but it will not be what you are seeking. A board has preamps...
Coated Powerstroke3. A 14 mil single ply head sound like the worst thing to me.
No worries. The RBDR is heavy and not the best ride for crashing. I think your K is much better for that. Good luck in your search MDK.
I just took this picture. You can see my DW kick behind it :) It's in near perfect condition with just a bit of patina and some fingerprints from not ever being cleaned. I haven't used this cymbal in...
21" HH Raw Bell Dry Ride traditional finish. About five years old. Excellent condition. I take great care of my gear. Ink is perfect. It's got a bit of patina because its never been polished. 9 out...
I'm a couple years on the other side of a divorce here after 23 years together. Still weird to this day. Keep on keeping on.
I play a 12 up 16 down set, so thats my answer. Either the 12 or 13 will work. Of those two you should honestly use the one that sounds best to you.
That's a good one. Black nickel over brass is IMO the best of the workhorse snares and the BB is the best of the best. Mine is a DW Collectors 14x8, a great drum without doubt, but the BB is the...
Just don't mix up big drums and big women....oops, Johnny Walker!
