    Re: Time to Leave Band?

    Thanks for all the great advice, everyone.

    Oddly enough, at our rehearsal following that gig, he'd had time to review the recordings and didn't continue his negative comments. He's not shy, that...

    Re: Time to Leave Band?

    Thanks. My only apprehension is that I love the music we play, and that's usually not the case. I've ended up playing in many bands where the musicians are great, and nice, but I don't like the song...

    Time to Leave Band?

    I'm playing in a blues band now that is pretty good and I love the music we're playing.

    In general, we all get along pretty well. However, I recruited a bass player 2 years ago that I've played...

    Set List Clamped to Cymbal Stand?

    I've always put my set lists on the floor next to me during gigs, which works fine most of the time. But, if it's too dark or the lights are shining in my eyes, I have difficulty seeing it.

    I'd...
  5. Re: Yamaha Recording Custom Brass - Snare Wire Replacement?

    Thanks, Tom. Upon checking out the tension of the snare-side head, I realized I'd already cranked it tight (which is what I do). I actually loosened the snare-side head a little (about 1/4 turn...

    Re: Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute

    I have a Yamaha Birch Custom Absolute kit that I purchased new in 1999. The build quality, look and sound are excellent. I'll never sell them.
  7. Yamaha Recording Custom Brass - Snare Wire Replacement?

    I have a Yamaha Recording Custom brass snare (13.5 x 6) and am considering replacing the snare wires. The drum is like new, so the original wires are in perfect condition.

    However, when comparing...

    Sticky: Re: Tama Drums Discussion

    I don’t like the quick-lock mounts either. I know they’re supposed to move around to maximize resonance, but I prefer everything to be more stationary.

    Re: My Worldmax 7X13 brass snare build.

    Awesome snare!! But, how do you avoid mangling sticks when you hit rim shots on those claw hooks and lug nuts that are higher than the rims? The look is fantastic!!

    Snare with Claw Hooks / Rim Shots

    In my never-ending search for snares, I'm considering a few that have claw hooks on the rim. Very cool look, but I'm wondering if those get in the way for rim shots. Also, I noticed the lug nuts are...

    I found a great deal on Starclassics Bubinga kit. Not my first choice on color, but very nice, and reasonably priced. This kit will sound awesome and be easier to sell if or when I'm ready.
