Activity Stream

The only reason I thought of it was suggested as a fix on a different kit Kick pedal I used to own to actuate the sensor in a similar way. hence I...

Nice job and great equipment. Well done!

I don't know what flavor of Sabian hats Frank Beard uses but on the live in Texas show I saw, they were amazing. I did as much research as I could...

That's awesome. Way to be resourceful. Might be good if you could let the company know. You may get an offer for a quality control position. Well, we...

I have always been a fan of RocnSoc. I mostly use their hydraulic style base but the one that stands out as a solid threaded base is Gibraltar. ...

Yeah threaded rod turns me off to. What I have now but a generic brand. It's ok but does move a bit. I am hoping Dixon is better locking. You...

I have a Dixon with an unthreaded post, a thumb screw and a memory lock. Solid as a rock. Never moves.

Got it all sorted out. Was the foam pad that sits on the piezo and contacts the mesh. Must have been a bit compressed or something. Put a small felt...

I alternate between wood,stainless steel,or other metals as a side snare (altho my "workhouse"for many years has been a 13"x 3"mapex stainless steel...

A few days ago, I asked my wife and son, who is a great bass player, to listen to crash cymbal combinations. They both picked the same pair of...

Yes -- that has been the case. the 24 bass and the 13 & 15 toms sound wonderful at any batter head tension. The 18FT is a bit less cooperative.

I actually got my first remote session gig last week (recording some loops and samples), super fun and I feel like I learned a lot. In the meantime,...

Looks great. Sound better with age.

Received shipment 45 years ago in August, 1977....still that great Gretsch sound....

Sometimes my snare seems like it sounds that way. I never have wires completely off. Head is cranked pretty tight, normal number of wires underneath...

Lung cancer is not exclusive to smokers just as breast cancer is not exclusive to women. Men can have breast cancer. Personally I think that 1...

My sister lives in my old hometown and the conversation usually starts off like that. Had a friend I went to college with that found me on LinkedIn....

Long ago, in a country far, far away, an Army Sgt. told me over a beer that the longer you live, the more people you bury. I was 21 years old and...

I am 66, no band in over 35 years. Crank up some tunes through a powered speaker and rock out. Screw the neighbors.

Allow yourself some time to grief. These things aren't easy. And the age? Fuggetaboutit ;) Most of it's a mental game. Commit to being 69 'young'...

For the first time in 10 years, I am without a (full) band, without gigs, and not happy with the selection of local venues. To make things worse, my...

Thanks cycledude

Nice job. Y'all sound really good together.

Thanks Jackie, I appreciate that. They are almost gone and this is week 5/6. I've lost track of exactly when it started but I will remember exactly...

Sorry to hear you had shingles, I also had it. I had it on my lower back area, it felt like somebody was sticking a knife into my back. People don’t...

MDK don’t worry too much about the timing, sounds like a silly thing to say; just feel the pulse/beat I check to see if my 2+4 is the same as the...

I was playing with a band back in the early '70's that played a bar where we were set up on the floor and I spent most of the night poking people to...

Very nice smooth playing, I am trying to work up to that relaxation and timing. Great job, looks like some fun dudes to pay with as well. Are those...
