It's certainly not earth shaking but I am surprised that they would sell. Even if the original senior ownership/management retired there's family behind them. I was hoping for more insight but there...

I guess we're playing DW by Roland drums now. I just checked in to see what the reaction was here... but crickets.
I guess we're playing DW by Roland drums now.
Of course it matters whether you're playing Moon River or Compared to What... but yeah, playing hard and maintaining that level can seem existential at times.
Yeah... too quiet... I don't like it. I think they'll attack just before dawn.
Hey, Tom. I don't play "out" anymore and haven't for years. (70 yo) But I couldn't resist a hotel lounge comment. I played for Natalie Cole early in her career when she was starting out getting "her...
Like I've said in a past post somewhere: The large basically horizontally head oriented toms to the side of my kit have never been sitting on the floor. they were either on legs to the floor, held by...
Like Tom said: if heel up is causing you pain, you are probably sitting too close or too far from your bass drum. It may be that you're unconsciously adding a forward kick motion/movement to the...
I personally would not own anything by Mapex. That's just me because I've simply never come across any Mapex products that weren't junk. That may be a coincidence and is not meant to impune anyone...
And I thought I was a cymbal freak...
And my 2 cents regarding my (1st) 18" Zildjian crash/ride being a great early Beatles ride analog (washy beyond what a 60's mic could handle with Ringo's stick technique at the time) and that I love...
I look at "crash/rides" as a compromise...and as with most compromises..."sport-touring bikes", "on/off road vehicles", etc, etc, they are not particularly good at either of their classifications due...
If you are accurate enough to execute a rimshot you should easily be accurate enough to miss the claw hooks 99.999999999% of the time.
I'll take a wild stab at the numbers. My guess is most lugs are "MIM" or "metal injection molding". I had a career in plastic injection molding and those might be cavity designations in the mold they...
Man, it kind of depends. Right now I'm pretty average at best. 5 or 6. Summer and winter before last I had some guys coming over at least once, sometimes three times a week and we'd play 3 to 4 hours...
You were in the injection molding industry? So was I. Started as an operator between bands and worked through set-up, process tech, supervisor, production manager... then sick of human BS back to...
It really comes down to having a "palatte" of cymbals to meet the need depending on mic/no mic, room, PA and music and instrumentation etc, etc. Smaller cymbals may have a nice envelope but can get...
I worked at GE in Schenectady, NY in my early 20s and ran an annealing furnace. I would receive pallets of recently welded electric motor rotor and stator cores made by stacking and welding flat...
I wonder if some type of heat treatment might help preserve the integrity of the weld. It seems traditional heat treatment to harden may cause brittleness and a quick demise. I wonder if something...
I was gonna say, "Isn't that 12" tom supposed to be on a rail mount?" But MDK beat me to it sorta. But I'll be first to say... "Where's the Speed King and accompanying Hat?"
My first kit was a 60's...
Check out Antonio Sanchez solo on the live version of "The Gathering Sky." by The Pat Metheny Group. He gets 4 different counterpointal clave rhythms going...just 'cause he can.
He's extremely high...
I'm guessing his real estate agent is not in possession of a functional time machine.
Boy I'd like to test fly a set of MDDs!!! I learned on Speed Kings in the mid 60s. I exclusively buried the beater in those days and the direct drives were superb for that technique.
When I started...
Make no mistake, he looks like someone I would steer clear, keep a wary eye on, and be prepared to do literal battle with at the drop of the proverbial hat. And I pride myself on being an exceptional...
Thumbs up MDK. Fla is weird. It seems like you largely have the choice of little stucco cubes packed in beside each other, gated communities of much more expensive homes with a million...
