I tried wrapping my stands in small blankets, but that turned out to be so teadious and time consuming it drove me crazy. The last thing I want to do...

If the venue makes money, you’ll get gigs...even if your show sucks. Sadly, I know awesome bands that don’t draw a crowd and bands that put out total...

1 step up from a couple of cans and a lot of string.

So am I ... it's getting to be somewhat of an exclusive club ...

I also agree with the posters above who say that (1) reputation and word of mouth will keep the people coming back for more, (2) you've got to play...

I’m thinking about doing something like this too, but I’m debating on the hole size and pattern. I have an “extra” A custom 18” crash that doesn’t...

MDK, there are people out there that will hit like or dislike because they have nothing better to do. There are morons that spend so much time on FB...

I found the same issues you listed in your post about wanting individual compartments to protect the stands from each other. I invested in 2 SKB...

My source from "Drum" Magazine dated January 6, 2016 written by Radim McCue states the contrary. It's Sabian they have the rights for distribution...

Oh I agree FB likes are not the be all end all but alot of establishments (especially ones who dont know you) seem to use how many likes you have and...

Me too!

Very nice get.

Spot on with this guys! It's what a band can do for the venue and how their performance can entertain and add to the atmosphere for their patrons. FB...

I'm betting you are correct. Kaman had the Gretsch rights before DW..............and Gretsch used Gibraltar as the hardware supplier.............LP...

We play the best club in town 5 times per year; the bar manager can pick the bands he wants from a long list of musicians yearning to play there....

Watered down talent, that's what happened, like the NHL, too many teams! Now everybody's in a band, they're not that good, bars hire them , bars find...

"IMO the best way to get more people to come see you is to put on a good show and let it happen by word of mouth but maybe I am wrong." No, MDK,...

I could be wrong, but I don't think DW outright "owns" Gibralter. They own the rights to distribute, or handle Gibralter along with other co.s that...

I have a Mapex Saturn V and I'm pretty set on cymbals and snares (for now)...now it's time to upgrade some of my stands. I have a Mapex Saturn...

hahaha nice call on the ownage my PDP and DW kit have only PDP and DW Hardware. My Yamaha has only Yamaha hardware (minus Gibraltar rack) But...

save your $50 gift card. If you really want to use Facebook do the buy in for FB to advertise to you. We are getting hundreds and even thousands...

That whole FB “likes” thing is not entirely relevant when it comes to drawing a crowd. It’s more about how many people are associated/friends with...

I have Yamaha seems like a 700, not bad, but thought I could find better? There are Gibraltar sets available, 5700, 6700 and 8700. I have a couple...

Check out Yamaha 700 series ...

Love the Tama stuff, especially Road Pro. For a good value, the upper lines at PDP are good.

Yes it was.

I do that when I get lazy.

Never been a fan and have always thought he was over rated but I do appreciate that he flipped his nose at conventional drumming technique and what a...

Ok ... most memorable drummer ... Mike Clark, Paul Jackson, and the Head Hunters, small private business event in 20 x 40 room up close and...
