This is what I did, and I haven't replaced heads {I have switched them, though] for over 6 years.
1] I went only top heads on the toms, gave me the extra head to use when needed, and I got richer...
I scanned the posts, good points by all. It comes down to you and the time you have, but I do lean to FadesAway thinking. I would just suggest practice when you have the time, mix it up a bit {re...
Yeah, there ARE after-effects, bro. Never had the knife, but have the basic condition. After the knife, you can expect soreness, lack of mobility, but the tingling thing does reduce. So I just...
All I can suggest is a REMO Fiberskin top.
Take off the bottom head and rim. See if that helps, Bonham DID do that at times. He did that for their 4th album, and your issue seems to be the bottom end for your floor tom.
Ah, sheesh, I must be real old school, but that's OK. I use a cloth strip, run across the outer rim, tightened by the rim, for dampening. Like said, you'd be surprised at the dampening and tuning...
Up to you, bro, but a quick ammonia diluted solution clears off the oils/etc. from your fingertips.
Now that's the tech. end, I have to ask {in all fun}, where have your fingers been?????????? ...
Chiming in, dunno why, but in 5th grade wanted to go percussion. Went from there, elem./hs/to pro. Won my medals made my living for a while. Guess I, like most of you "found" the beat, liked it...
I'd generally agree with the stickers. Not worth it.
Why?
1} extra large tom to haul and set up, and care for.
2} no real added sound, depending on music style or sound, IMO it's just flash...
Shout back, bro, change of jobs and states, how it is, but finally back to the passion of drums.
:icon_surprised: TY for the remember!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
K, cool, prime, you are a "rightie", but like trump said, WHAT is your LH grip? Trad. or modern matched? It makes a difference, bro, in your angle of attack.
Never have, never would. Too much hassle to put on shoes on gig break. Shoes give extra power to the pedals.
I would suggest the double-bass technique, using the high-hat foot with a stiff petal that matches the kick-drum stiffness. Run a TRIPLET pattern, R[BASS DRUM}, L { High-hat}, 3rd snare, triplet...
Agreed, Hedon, I've said same thing. Even older-rustier drummers can "freshen" up by practicing the basics.

Cheapest gig is 10% cloudy ammonia and water, clean rags, and dry rags to immed. wipe off. I have found Armor-All to be great shine/protect for plastic outer-shells.
Agreed, rudiments can give you foundations for set-run you never thought U could do. Think a simple triplet, snare/tom/snare, alternate the drums out, fast, perfect fill. Check out some YouTube...
Good point, Oak, about the stage prescence part. If I shine them, I just underneath them, nice comromise, try the slightly crisper sound ya get, but it's not too bright.
So do I. Clean is sharper, more attack, crisper and longer decay. Dirty is delayed, muffled, shorter decay. Try both, see how they sound, I play "signature" dirty, my sound.
:biggrin: Cool!!!!!!!!!! Remember to breathe, have extra sticks available, try not to forget any equipment, LOL {Hey, it happens}. I kinda like the Project name, btw.

Now I play matched all the time. I like the symmetry, the consistency, the power, and the easy movement around the kit. I learned tympani playing during those first 10 years so I'm comfortable...
Hmmm, all videos I've seen show those guys going matched, and they were live videos.:think:
Now that's a new one on me, Zildjian won't honor cymbal warranty if those Ahead's are used?????????????????? :doh:
Since when does a quality cymbal company dare to dictate to drummers what they...
