    Sticky: Re: DW Drums Discussion

    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.

  4. Re: How many Calories do you burn Playing Drums?

    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.

    Re: Do you play hotel lounges?

    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...

    Poll: Re: Hanging FT vs FT W/Legs?

    Re: Afraid of learning Heel Up

    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...

    Re: which should I get and why?

    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...

    Re: Crashing rides?? WHY??

    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...
  12. Re: Playing a Crashable Ride (or a Rideable Crash)

    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.

    Re: DW Lug Hardware Numbers?

    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...
