Kit I will work on that I gave friend. The Groove Percussion kit. I believe this was a Sam Ash parent co. Maker of these.

How I’ve been putting my cymbal sets together before putting in bag. I have a half inch bolt, a couple nylon washers and a wing nut.

I have to agree with you. It would also be more heavy duty.

That is why I suggested using a tire.It will keep it's shape

Well, I tried it (around a portion of the cymbal) and it wants to slide off at the ends to go back to its straight position. I’d have to go all the...

For the above post ^^ Not so good Much better (cut one felt in half to make 2)

Latest used Sabian purchase. It’s a 20”. Don’t know what it is or called. It’s a bit high pitched, a little heavy and loud. What would you call it?

Found a quick release item that fit 6mm. They just screw on over existing 6mm cymbal rod. I’ve found that if I used thick felts, they push up...

I also have one of those Ludwig Breakbeats drum kits. I received it from a friend who I helped do some work in New York. It’s when they first came...

Man, I like that! Great idea!

Wait, drum solos? Yeah, usually nervously, totally wing those.. lol.

It’s a cool idea but no glue for me. I think it’s much easier and less expensive using foam pipe insulation. I’ve seen some at the dollar store as...

Very cool! Thank you Tom for looking that up. More input on the education for me and any who did not know.

I asked AI ... Ludwig Vistalites ... did they make them with lights in them? Answer: That’s a fun question — and yes, in a few rare cases,...

These work great for me but my friend who plays like an animal, knocked off 2 of the clips while he was playing and he didn’t even notice.

Didn’t know you could buy them that way. Always thought someone put lights in there. Cool

Flashing Lights

Remember those Ludwig Vistalites that lit up? I wanted those so badly when I was a kid!

More used Sabian APX These APX are made of stamped B8 sheet metal and supposed to cut through anything rock or heavy metal.

Thanks drummer. Yes I do. It’s currently, 13,14,15” vistalite concert toms, a 22” bass drum. Using a Pearl 6.5x14” snare drum. Someday I’d like to...

That is so cool!! Do you still have the kit?

That's a great idea! Or maybe cut some extra from tire material and glue a couple layers to the bottom of the cymbal bag.

I thought of this but with that foam pipe insulator instead. For now I just put a towel at bottom.

Keeping with the bike theme,cut a 28 in.bike tire and fit it around the Cymbal to protect the edge.

My Vistalite kit. Made a custom clip mount type tom holder with conduit years ago. Now I have one of these I could try but used to what I...

Bike tire bag arrived. It’s a 29”. Bought it for my 28” Sabian AA medium ride. I had it in the bag and when I’d set it down on the floor, you’d hear...

I get this approach also. I used to have a Marantz three head cassette recorder that was awesome. I would record us practicing the tune for the...

How did you know where I live? I thought that was a secret. :shifty:
