What head are you using now? As Zarrdoss mentioned, a different head can make all the difference. Give an Evans coated G2 or ST Dry a shot as well.

Looks good man! You should throw some sound samples up.

Most of the sessions I do the kick is never isolated. I find it interesting all the different techniques that are out there. Mostly depends...

Thanks guys!!

Thanks man!! By far this was the best sounding drum room I've played in yet. The engineer loved the whole kit and how easy it mic'd up, but he commented on the cymbals as well. :)

Thanks man!!

Thanks man!!:)

Was recently in the studio with my band, Sunday Brave, tracking our next single. I used my refinished Starclassic birch kit for the recording along with a Canopus 6.5x14 maple snare and a combo of...

Yes Bish, I was. And I agree, we all make this a great place.

BTW MDK, just saw a post on the Tama forum that state new replacement rubber grommets are available to solve the issue you had.......

Marko got my vote :)

Like I said, they touch but as you can see there is not the dramatic compression like you experienced. Furthermore tuning these drums is easy as hell. With a fresh set of heads I can get a full wide...

I should also add I have never, and I mean NEVER had a problem tuning these up nor do I see any wrinkles in the heads after they've been on for a while.

Sorry for the late reply... :(

Here are two pics of my SS mounts. It's clear they touch a little but not nearly as much as the ones from machinedrumkelly. I'm using coated G2's. First pic is my...

OK folks let's chill a bit. I understand the frustration with the problems and believe me I would be as well. But sometimes no matter what issues will surface. I've seen just about every drum mfgr...

Ok just saw the head comparison. Lol

Dunno man, looks like the shell wasn't drilled properly. Will check my kit this weekend.

Got your PM.....

The gouge as you describe is simply a channel for where the seams overlap to provide more of a tight fit against the shell. Perfectly normal and my other kits that are wrapped...

Yeah, it did! Increased the volume a bit and made them punchier

Still using the coated G2's. Gonna try coated G14's next, just for fun. :)

Ok being an over the top Tama advocate, I def suggest Silverstars. There's a complete review here:

+1.... I've had more than one issue of incompetence with GC

Awesome!! Build it, and they will come. :)

GREAT collection!!

Looks like a killer stage!

GREAT view!!
