The difference that this head made (from the head the drum came with) on my EXTREMELY...
See, this is why I'm a dog person.
That a band at this point in their career could come up with something this good is pretty freaking impressive. Most of the stuff I listen to is faster and heavier, but I don't see how anyone who...
This is a great album by an incredible band. Not my favorite album of theirs, but this is a drumming website, so this is the one I have to mention. As a kid 24 years or so ago when I first heard...

Internal muffler, eh? At times like this I really appreciate google. Thanks. I'm learning things left and right here! :)
Yeah, I'm new to this, and from my limited interactions with real drummers (which I don't yet consider myself), I pick up a vibe of "respect" (for lack of a better term) for certain things (like a...
I'm near the Jersey border (so I have to deal with a lot of ****ty drivers) between routes 80 and 78. Small world, eh?
After playing 10 minutes on my electronic kit just now, I just had to come back and ***** about this Yamaha kick pedal that came with the DTX430. I hope no one's walking outside my apartment window,...
Yeah, there definitely seem to be benefits to some ring. My timing imperfections in my drum rolls & fills are also more noticable now that I've squeezed almost all the ring out of the snare. I...
Tell you what, the guy who lives below me would likely LOVE for you to take them. If you ever plan to burglarize my place for my electronic kit, he'd get you past the security guy at the front desk....
No, not in a band... any band that has me as a drummer is going to have serious timing issues. I hadn't thought about being heard amidst other instruments, though. Should I find myself in a band...
And I'll pick up one of those Evans EC Frosteds. My kit was a brand new $200 kit from amazon, which sounded like a $200 kit. I put Evans heads on everything, and the difference in sound was night...
It's a Pearl and it's 14"x5.5", wood. Actually, this leads me to another question. I see some snares are smaller, like 10"x4", for instance. Is there a big difference in tone for a snare this size...
Thanks, man. I'll give it a whirl.
It's a Pearl that I paid $120 for. So I suppose it's a cheap Pearl.
Thanks for the help. Where should i put the tape, over the snare wire, or just on the head that I'm hitting?
I would put up with the snare ringing before going electric. I actually have an...
Thanks, Captain. I actually do have some moongels on it, and that got rid of some of the ringing, but not as much as I wanted. If there is another solution to reducing the ringing even further, I'd...
New to drumming, so I ask forgiveness in advance for stupid questions. I am trying to get my snare so that it has absolutely minimal sustain... I want all (or certainly most) of the "crack" sound to...
I'm new to drumming, and I'm no engineer, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. This may actually get into some applied physics, a class I assume I slept through in high school years ago. I...
And the "Radar Love" only sweetens the deal! Next time you gotta go straight into "Twilight Zone" when Radar Love's over. :)
