I try to post something new at least once a week. Peace and goodwill.

Last week since the Lord blessed me with an AAX19 inch Thin Crash, I took the 16 and 17 inch crashes to church. I played them this morning, and they...

I traded a snare for a cymbal, three pairs of sticks, and one drumhead. Peace and goodwill. So my setup is different now.

Let me know how they sound.Here's my little drums at practice last week.vrpro.mobi/rchivoz/(20250320-180614-0003.m4a Sounds better if you play it...

Does anyone out there like big, thin crashes or like AAX cymbals? Peace and goodwill.

I love to watch Vinnie.I would really like to play like him but half of the time I can't figure out what the hell he's doing.One of the best.

Seriously, it gets like this every once and awhile. What will happen then is 15-20 drummers will rediscover how to write (or print in some cases)...

I have to say Vinnie is probably the drummer who most influenced my playing, not that I'm all that great to begin with. But Vinnie hit the scene...

I first heard Bozzio with Zappa. He immediately became my favorite drummer. Never got to see him with FZ though. I did get to see him play at The...

Bwahahahahaaaa!!!

C'est La Vie

So here are my current Mapex snares: Peace and goodwill.

Tomorrow I am trading in that white Black Panther snare. So I will have all Mapex snares: an Armory and two MPX snares. Peace and goodwill.

I appreciate Drum Chat for it's longevity, complete history and for the fact that I have not been banned from the forum.

I used to buy sticks in bulk from Musicians Friend. They were OK, but now I go for Pro Mark sticks due to the code that allows me to get free stuff....

This site was an immense amount of help when I started my journey on drums. Tons of great information and experience here.

I no longer own that Pearl snare. I am now down to three Mapex snares. Peace and goodwill.

You've been on here 4 months longer than me. I looked at Drumeo once and said nah.

I was looking for a bar 1 night and stumbled on Drum Chat. Next month will be 14 years. I'm a little surprised that I've lasted that long being as...

I took out the 16 inch Concept Crash from my setup. The ride is very crashable, so I will still have three cymbals I can crash. Peace and goodwill.

When what????????????

I tuned it up some more, and now I really like the sound. Peace and goodwill.

It should be called a Mepex....

After a certain age you can look and remember when.

Some people think that once you pass a certain age (maybe 60) you shouldn't be able to look anymore.

I just measured it. It is a 14x5 that is from a student setup. It came with the case, a stand, a pair of drum sticks, and a practice pad. Peace...

I added this to my collection. It is a steel-shelled MPX snare. Peace and goodwill.

I have an old timey Blackrolite, great for cross sticking. With the adjustable muffler you can get a lot of different sounds.
