I would have to say the coolest gig I've played is back in 1982, when my band The Nubs opened for British punk recording artists 999. The way we got the gig was kinda funny. The promoter posted an...

My favorite has been my Tama G Maple 13x7. My new favorite is my Rukus 13x6.5, unfortunately I just got it this year and haven't gotten to play out with it yet.

I have the Design kit in the same finish, plus I added the 8" tom. You're gonna love it!

No room for the Yammies?

Great to see them in their new home!

The venue we were scheduled to play September 11th, which was cancelled, just had its liquor license revoked because of alleged violations of Covid protocols. I feel the place has been unfairly...

So we just booked another gig at the same venue(a marina) for Sept 19th, but also found out that the gig scheduled for the 11th is most likely cancelled. So for the entire summer we will have played...

2 since March 14th, both at the same place, one scheduled, one a last minute addition after another band cancelled. Many others cancelled. We have one gig in September that hasn't been cancelled...

I've fortunate to be able to work from home and except for a temporary (3 month) 10% pay cut instituted by my company, I have been affected that much. My wife is a nurse practitioner, so she's been...

I agree with Zack. If you can, keep both. While I don't have quite the inventory Zack does, when my 2 bands were both gigging, I had 3 full kits and 2 sets of hardware in cases ready to go at all...

I did buy another snare, a custom by Rukus!

My bandmate asked me to start a new project with him. This one is going to be different than anything I've done before. First of all, the goal for my friend is to make money, so this is going to be...

So one of my bands had its first practice since March last night. We spent most of the night setting up a low volume PA, no amps, electronic drums and in ears. We made a lot of progress and finally...

I think we need to see a video update on the drum cave - it's been a while.

I have a Ludwig floor tom I bought used in 1981 that I believe is a 1976 based on the serial. I added it to my Slingerland set to gig with back then. It's been collecting dust and rust since then...

So here's the evolution of this drum kit. Bought a used Gretsch Catalina 4 piece as a beater kit a few years ago. It was in rough shape, with deep scratches in the finish and bass hoops painted an...

Thanks! It did cost more than a few of my kits, but I figured, life is short, if I can have a snare made that's like no other, and my wife is OK with it, why not?

And like many cars, I come with CVT (Continuously Variable Tempo) standard.

And I am a Honda Accord, nothing fancy, but reliable and gets the job done.

Zack, if you're ever in the market for a new snare (duh, who am I talking to?), you should seriously consider a Rukus. Pete will build you any combination of size, wood species, finish and hardware...

Last summer, at a venue on a marina with tropical vibe, (sand, palm trees, tikis, etc.) it was ladies night and several ladies took full advantage of the drink specials. At one point a group of...

There was the time 40 years or so ago when my band was in the middle of "Rock Lobster" and someone approached the stage with a (barely) live lobster! I don't know what he expected us to do with it. ...

I've been dreaming of this for months now, and after agonizing over the specs, I finally pulled the trigger on a custom snare from Rukus Drums. It is a 6.5 x 13 bubinga/poplar/wenge shell with an...

I decided I needed another kick pedal for a project I'm hoping to start once the Coronavirus restrictions end. I had 4 pedals, one on my kit at the practice site (Camco), one that stays packed for...

Very well done and the kit sounds awesome!
