Is there any sort of "drum store directory" out there on the net anywhere?

I've tried the phone book - only three stores listed, the two I knew of and one that has been closed for 2 years. I live...

What... no comment about adopting me? :icon_mrgreen:

Thanks, wondered if it was that simple... I tend to over analyze things! You know, cut down a huge tree to whittle down a toothpick. :wall:

Nice room! Want to adopt another kid? :icon_lol:

Quick question - you said you "made" some of your cymbals... I assume that means you drilled the holes in them? How did you drill the holes? ...

I recently bought a Simmons SD5K - I am a very new drummer, live in an apartment, have only taking three lessons so far, and don't have $1000 to drop on a kit to "see if I like it" or not. For $300,...

After watching the video posted about the Vic Firth factory tour in the video section, I have a question. If each pair of sticks is "specifically paired" to match in thickness, sound frequency,...

I second Bish. Are you in a broom closet or something? Very tight! But hey, whatever works for you!

And nice job on the cover, too!

I love the bass work... my leg got tired just listening!

Great cover.

PB, I have 2 facebook pages, and I still spend more time here in the chatroom than I do on both of those combined!

Welcome about, Rose... I'm fairly new, too, but the more I'm here, the more I...

I didn't really have an opinion about Black vs. White drums when I first started reading this thread - I've always liked the color-fades... but after seeing a few of the pics posted, I have to say......

Until your post, I thought this thread was finally dying! :icon_mrgreen: It wasn't meant to drift into the politics and such that it did... <shrug> If it moves, it moves.

I think I saw a guy at the drum shop doing something similar there... but still, please show us!

Oof. I have enough trouble with straight 4/4 for now! haha But I'll stash that info away somewhere and come back to it. :icon_lol:

Homeularis - is that Dale's Drum Shop the one in Harrisburg, PA? If so, I HIGHLY second that recommendation! I was there about a week ago and almost fell over with the inventory they have. Every...

To all that had a comment about wanting a place to buy used gear - check out your local pawn shops!

There's one just down from where I work, and yesterday as I walked home, I noticed something...

That's great news, PB... and thank you for sharing exactly what the breakthrough was. I've been having stick control issues, too - although I am certainly newer at this than you - but I will try...

That's awesome! I'll have to try that at the next BBQ. I can just see my dad's face now as I load up the grill with old sticks! :dancing:

Jafo, not sure where you are from, but I know there's a music swap meet a couple times a year in Virginia, near D.C. I'll try to find the website or the flyer and post it... but I've been to it...

Welcome to DC! I love the look of the self-painted kit... and the story makes it even better.

Late8, I see you have multiple sets. Next time I am in Lodi 'diving, I will be sure to come steal one from you. :icon_mrgreen: Very nice garage you have there... :punk:

Awesome news! Congrats.

I was born and raised in Saginaw! What a small world. Where did they build a GC? Or are you driving to the one down in Southfield (Detroit - I think there's one still...

What a great find! If you need someplace to put that 8" tom, my address is... :icon_mrgreen:

Politics wasn't the aim of the post. Sorry it went that way...

And to answer a few comments - I spent more than an hour "observing" this family, mostly because I wanted to see their set when it...

Very nice set... I have been fighting GAS for a while now, although something tells me it will be unbearable soon. :icon_mrgreen:

haha No, indeed he did not! I am so glad that I came across this forum... while I am completely new to drumming, and to this board, I feel just being here is making me a wiser person. Must be...

Yeah, you're right - this wasn't so much a spoiled brat, as it was an overzealous father trying to live vicariously through his son. Too bad, because the kid had some licks... but if he's not...
