That’s awesome Rick!
I don’t really understand the whole “black wheels” thing.

I was looking at used S550’s last fall, but couldn’t justify spending the $20k+ on a car with 100k miles. Plus,...

It sounds like it but not really, considering the songs and style we play.
Basically, our new front man plays rhythm and leads on a 12 string and does most all the vocals. He learns the songs (Most...

Yep, hot to cold at the drop of a hat. As I get older, that pattern seems to apply to more and more every day.

Looks like they’ve changed the forecast...now low 50’s and rain all week. We...

What a crazy year...I think we can all agree. The weather in Nebraska is always a source for jokes. The old saying is “if you don’t like the weather in Nebraska, just wait 24hrs. I’ve seen some...

We had 1 gig in late July and have another one Scheduled for next weekend. Both private parties/events. Most local venues have all but given up on live music for the rest of the year. No one wants to...

Any of those are excellent starter...even mid-level kits that can take you as far as you want to go. I’d say it’s more about cost, features and what catches your eye.
I know from owning one, the new...

Any brand of hoops will fit, as long as the lug count is the same. As far as the actual lugs, I have no idea what the bolt center are. I know the Ludwig “classic” lugs (And every other Ludwig lug...

Keeping in mind that NE is probably the state LEAST effected, the industrial markets have remained strong. Some industry segments are a little soft, but others have taken up the slack. The store I...

My Ludwigs are 1up-2dwn, but I rarely use the 2nd FT. It requires too much floor space for most of the venues we play. I probably only bring it to 2 or 3 gigs per year.

Both sound like great kits, but To me, it’s the orange sparkle for the win.

I watched that whole video....staring profusely at Charlie’s kit....looking for a concert tom. Then I realized it was in reference to the “paint it black” :shifty

As awesome as DW’s are, Classic Maples in VMP are iconic. Pairing them with 2002’s is a perfect combination. Going back to the roots and simplifying your setup sounds like a great idea to me.

I sent you a PM

I probably have everything you’re missing...rims, lugs, etc.. those are probably standard stencil kit Pearl Style lugs. If you want to PM me what you need, I can dig through my massive stash of old...

Sorry for your accident, but it’s awesome that you’re recovering!

Good thing you’re a drummer. A fall like that would have killed a Lead guitar player.

Guess they were waiting for a Roman soldier to pick someone from the audience to help...

They definitely have a purple color when looking at them up close. From 3-4 feet away, they just look black. The finish quality is fantastic. I’ve yet to find another set of drums that are built as...

Those old Premiers are some of the best made drums in terms of material and craftsmanship. I have a set of XPK’s that I restored a few years ago. I don’t know what the finish is for sure....but I...

I’m 99% sure they would have been wood originally.
Wood hoops will definitely make a difference in sound..at least Acoustically from behind the kit or up close. If you’re playing live in a band,...

Not much really. It helps seal the wood to protect it from moisture. Since we play outdoor gigs, it’s an added precaution. I’ve had my drums rained on before. Plus, when we play outside gigs in high...

I messed with them a little more at work today (they’re in my office). I bought all new heads for them, but I want to rub down the inside of the shells with Linseed oil first.

The more I mess with...

Well, they arrived today.
They are sweeeeet! I would say the quality of the hardware and shells is even better than the last Concept Maple kit I had. The 12” tom did indeed come with a suspension...

Yep...satin olive. For some bizarre reason, that color really turns my crank, LOL.
I guess because it’s different and stands out.

Only one “sweet” place that I could find that offers that color....

Well....pulled the trigger on a new Concept Bop kit. Having already owned a Concept Maple, I know the quality will be good. These new ones are supposed to be made from “harder European Maple”, so I’m...
