Hi, About to change stock Tom heads on my pdp wood rim bop kit. Any suggestions appreciated. Heads are 12" & 1 4" . Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. I'm not too concerned about the appearance of the cymbal. I 'd like to protect the area of the damage so it doesn't get worse. I was considering getting a can of clear lacquer...

Maybe I should bottle that stuff and sell it as cymbal cleaner.

I guess cat urine would make a good cymbal cleaner if you want to clean the cymbal to bare metal. I've never seen any cleaner like it.

Hi all, I bought a new Paiste Giant Beat and my cat urinated on it. The urine destroyed part of the finish down to the bare cymbal. Is there a diy fix for this to protect the raw cymbal? Any...

I guess that's the way I should since the dealer represents Gretsch. I'll try, but I doubt Gretsch would do anything as I didn't take pictures of the poor works a ship and cheap parts. And it's just...

Thanks for all of the recommendations and help guys. After pondering what you guys have said I think I'll stick with my heavy Yamaha seat that I've had for 30 or so years. I'm truly greatfull for all...

Thanks for the reply itchie. Way back when I started drumming in the 60's light drum thrones were common. I guess there's a reason they don't make thrones like that any more. Thanks again, I may have...

Hi, Anyone have suggestions on a sturdy light weight throne that can support a 220lb. drummer? I'm replacing all hardware with lighter stands. The only thing I need now is a sturdy lighter throne....

Hi Guys, I sincerely thank you guys for the responses. I went out and tried several kits. For the style I play the "Ludwig Club Date" won hands down. I went over budget but I'm 60 yrs. old and this...

Thanks for all replies. Anyone tried the newer Ludwig Club Date? At my local drum shop I tried a New Ludwig Club Date, 20, 12, 14. Instant old school vibe. I'll do some research to see if there are...

Old thread but I wanted to thank you guys. I borrowed my son's dremel and followed wolvie56's instructions on my son's 20" A Zildjian. Wasn't difficult at all. I tried the cymbl afterwards and...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll check the pawn shops, Harbor Frieght and Wall Fart and get one of the cheaper models as I won't be using it much. Thanks Again, Don

Thanks very much for the video Olimpass. I don't have a compressor. I have an electric drill, don't know how many rpm's it is. I could try that. The edge of the cymbal is quite thin though. Very much...

Hi, I'd like to repair a Zildjian medium/thin cymbal that has a square 2" x 3" chunk at the edge. I'll have to make a semi circular cut on the edge. I tried a coping hand saw from Harbor Freight but...

Thanks for the response wolvie 56. That's good to know. Would like to get one, but my wife has issues about too many drums. I'll have to think up some way around that...... My spelling isn't that...

I'll try the 57 next Saturday at a medium sized club and let you know drumstix. I'm also going to closely check on YouTube how Ringo's drums were miced live . I've never really paid attention to the...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll try that positioning drumstix, we don't have a low pass filter on our Mackie so I'll try cutting the highs. I think it's probably best to use an SM57 rather then a...
