I like at least one cymbal with rivets to mask and or compliment my brand of tinnitus!
Why the pitch bend on the twelve? Is that your "go to" or preference?
I'd agree that wrong, as in too steep, stick angle is the most usual suspect. That and poor quality heads as stated. I suppose you could run your finger around the bearing edge, the rim of the drum...
I currently play a dw Edge. It's a 14" X 5". It's just about a perfect snare in my opinion. Metal edges with a maple shell. I once had a Supraphonic and it was hard to find fault with that one either.
Too bad about the tension rod splay. Good thing those receivers float! Beautiful metal though.
Soundproofing, is different than interior room sound treatments... as you know. The only way to sound proof is with mass and how said mass is arranged. There are super dense "panel/matts" made of...
I've got an old 20" Zildjian "Pang" cymbal I bought in the mid 70s. It's interesting but doesn't get much use anymore. I am planning to install rivets and will orient them for "upside down" playing...
Be careful how many panels you install. Start by not buying too many. It's easy to deaden a room too much. My basement studio has large expanses of poured concrete walls covered with three layers of...
Yes I was fond of frequently activating that acrylic 18". My Collectors 16" X 14", however, delivers all the thunder I need.
Drums, like everything else, have come a long way in the last 50 years!
What's your take on the 18" FT and especially the wooden hoops? I have an 18 in my fibes kit and always loved it. Rumbly but dramatic.
I do a lot of rim shots even on toms to a degree... I'd be...
You may need an auxiliary snare storage area elsewhere with but a small rack holding the current "rotation" inside the room.
That flick was so over the top it's ridicules. The playing was good but the premise that anyone would or could behave the way J. K. portrayed the teacher is a bit much.
Not to mention the chair but...
Effing WOW!!! Nice pic.
My main crashes are 16" and 18". A 14" Zildjian Effects holy/slotted one, a 16" China Boy High and three splashes sprinkled about the set. Yeah, I like 'em short and sweet. A smack in the kisser. I...
I guess they believe in FINE tuning. Or maybe their hoops are incredibly flexible.
Glad your cymbals are more logically located now. Those are beautiful drums! Not to go too off topic but I've been thinking of a remote, or cable hi hat so I can move my 8" tom down to about...
I get that log in banner once in a while. I just click the log in field and away we go...
I fear venue owners/bookers will be looking to save on their end too with a duo. Good luck though. Sounds like fun.
Are you already out of room in the new drum-cave?
I want some nice plaid symbols!
This entire pandemic is more than arguably nature correcting the population.
Huh? I guess there would be a different logo on the head.
You see no value in being able to switch heads in about 27 seconds... all tuned and ready to play? I don't need one but it's a cool idea.
I can see the std tuning rods now in the pic BFD supplied and how the system works. Pretty neat in a way. My only worry would be how they hold up over time and use with all those moving parts, hinge...
