Okay back with another update:
I made two new patches with steel and leather both using envelope-style construction described in my last post. The first one was made from a single piece of 18...
That could work! I personally like the very aggressive attack of the direct contact of pad to beater and this sandwich approach would probably make a warmer sound but I think that would work great...
Okay I'm back at it. I made a new pad out of a piece of 14ga mild steel but it seems excessively thick which makes it extremely heavy and tingy. So much so that I decided not to use it. Instead I...
So I've been going crazy trying to get this Danmar pad to stick. The felt failed pretty quickly and I've been looking for alternative methods to attach it to the head. Epoxy failed so I decided to...
Yeah that looks like the one. I got the double kick version.
My felt completely failed and the gorilla tape I was using kept ripping at the edge of the pad. I'm definitely disappointed because I...
Hey yall I'm back for an update. I threw a Danmar product on my bass drum for my hardcore band after my bandmates said they couldn't hear me.
This Danmar product is an 1/8" thick aluminum plate...
BE CAREFUL WITH THESE I played these pedals on my home kit (not currently gigged) and I broke main side drive bar connecting piece. Not the blue connecting bar but the screw-on piece that connects...
I still swear by my click pads, just installed one last weekend.
I've been using the aluminum beaters from my Trick Dominators and I'm getting (not surprisingly) a very metallic, biting "tink"...
Yeah I've always had problems with adhesion and durability. I use gorilla tape around the outside nowadays, the narrow 1" stuff. I've also considered removing the actual plastic parts and securing...
To anyone wondering, I bought used, generic die cast and have loved every second of them! I've been playing them about 2 years now.
I use the Silver Wheel metronome app. It works great for me when I play live. Lots of good subdivision options. Also FREE.
It holds a lot of presets, so I like to use it live. I can program song...
I'm thinking about replacing the 2.3mm hoops on my Sonor Black Mamba 13x7 maple snare. Ideally I would like to put die cast hoops on it, but the cost is prohibitive. I'd like to dry out the tone as...
I'm thinking about doing this. Apex makes a good, cheap, quality (good reviews) tom mic that I think I'll use, the APEX 326. My plan is this:
1. Gut the mics (housing is too large)
2. take the...
I love mine. Here is my setup:
Shell: 22x16 poplar, 45 degree bearing edge
batter: Remo PS3
Reso: Remo ebony PS3 w/factory porthole
Gibraltar/Sound Percussion click pad
NO MUFFLING
I find...
I didn't like mine. I didn't like the extra weight. I found that my reso head was more muffled than my batter head, which seemed dumb. I use a plastic impact pad and hard beaters, so I get allllll...
I've got one. It's pretty good. I use it as my main snare in my metal band.
Pros
Quality shell
Good strainer
Nice hoops
Cons
Cheap hardware, particularly the throwoff
If you're impatient, jump to the conclusion. To be clear, this thread is referring to those devices which adhere to the surface of bass drum batter heads and which contain hard plastic or metal...
I just brought these pedals home yesterday. I'll make a new thread about them soon.
First thoughts:
Kind of light-weight, especially compared to the beefy DW 7000's I was playing before. They...

There's only one light and it's on.
The finish is black wrap, nothing special. The kit isn't particularly high-end and doesn't have a lot of flashy extras. It's more of an "everything you need,...
I've been playing Stagg Single Hammered (SH) cymbals for two years. They're great. They last (as long as you play with proper technique) and they sound great. Incredibly bright and sensitive.
I...

I highly recommend the Sonor Black Mamba maple 13x7
I ordered mine new from American Musical Supply WITH a Sonor 200 series snare stand for $160. The snare alone is selling for $119.99, which is...
I actually like the sound from behind way more than out front, it's much deeper.
