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.

Glad to see you haven't changed in the past few years, Rick!

Nice! Looks like a 10 lug too.

I hate the ring from metal snares. Thank the Powers That Be for popsicle sticks.

I totally agree with the title of this thread. I joined in 2009 (16 years ago), while browsing around different drum forums and the search algorithms...

Been away way for a bit...19,447? Catching up is fun!

You can't pay me enough dough to do this. But she certainly grabbed my attention.

WOW! Mutual business endeavors can certainly garner trust. You can see that in their faces while in your presence.

Nice! It came with a Mapex case too? I love metal snare drums. They cut right through the mix and offer a nice ring when played with no dampening....

Through my primary career. Companies they own or endorse that I've dealt with over the years. I've been around Jenn the most. She's unbelievably...

Bumping this up since I just went through researching what's new in the ekit world. I can share what I learned since my budget was limited. My first...

Wow! You've travelled to many different places Ricky. How cool! I retired in '23 and started to slowly plot my travel plans. Went to Virginia...

Thanks for the update Randy! Wow, most bands have the opposite experience as to what you guys went through but to be that busy is a double edged...

Doing well, thanks. I retired from the gov in August, 2019. My wife and I have been travelling......all of Texas and New Mexico....all of New...

Man, that's great. Glad you are doing well and playing a lot. Our band was doing extremely well. So well that it began controlling our lives. ...
