I really appreciate the kind words gentlemen. Thanks! Here are a couple more. I realize there are still some balance problems and the backup mics in "Get Down On It" are way too low, but these are...
I have tried everything mentioned here (except a felt strip) over the years and have settled on a system that works almost all the time for me. A Powerstroke 3 batter head, ported single ply reso...
We also re-recorded Superstition to see if it got any better.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, and also the criticism. It's welcome at this point and I've taken it to heart.
We just got into "I Feel Good". This is the 5th time through I think.
WARNING...
My coworker just went to see Tool last night. She told me at the merchandise booth, they had signed drumheads for $1600. I'm thinking - "that's ridiculous, who would pay that for a set of signed...
I love my COB Gretsch drum, but it's really warped and the snare bed looks like they formed it with a hammer. I think it still sounds great, but it's really hard to tune.
I started a funk band with a bunch of my ex-students that are all half my age. Here's our third run though of Superstition at our first practice. I think this has some promise. There are some obvious...
From what I've heard, it's a massive conspiracy to keep left handed drummers off balance so they will just quit and not keep setting up their kits backwards. :)
I'm actually embarrassed to admit...
Sorry - I missed this question until now. When I bought the drum, it had a thick white cord, which I left in place. I normally like any kind of strap better so I don't dig a furrow in the snare bed.
Thanks Rick! It's good to be back posting, as infrequently as I can manage it.
Mine is also a 17" medium thin crash, but from a different company.
I finally had a few outdoor gigs this past month. The DW satin black looks awesome in the (indirect) sunlight:

I have owned several Yamaha kits, and while I love the sound, my biggest complaint is that they limit the finish selection on all but their super high end (expensive) kits. The PHX has some killer...
YouTube and Facebook are the way to go in my opinion. Keep in mind that it may take a really long time to get exposure on YouTube unless you come up with something viral. There a ton of drummers on...
[QUOTE=Bish;704910]Spaz probably has one in stock or could find you one. He can find just about anything...[/QUOT
If only someone could find one. I've been actively looking for like 10 years now....
Thanks! I am playing accents on 2 & 4 mostly, but I follow the trumpet line a bit and play those some of the time. Also, there's a bunch of 3/4 measures in there you have to navigate.

I played my town's yearly festival several years ago (opening up for Stxy). I was hanging around early when the sound crew was setting up. They were running around like crazy people trying to get...
Thanks! That is very much appreciated. I don't often go back and listen to my videos after they are a couple of years old for fear that I won't like what I did and will remove them, but that one...
I agree - this finish is gorgeous. It makes me a little ill to be selling this kit, but I just never use it with my current projects because I really need a 16" floor tom most of the time. I've tried...
I used to always play a sextuplet on the snare rim over the top of those 2 bass drum notes. With my currently band, we kind of reproduce that sound vocally over the mics.
Thanks for the mention! Let me know if you have any questions about the song that I may be able to answer.
I am attempting to sell this kit (link below), but I would consider a trade for a kit of comparable quality with 10/12/16 toms.
