I played my drums today after an almost 3 year hiatus.
I started to type instructions on tuning, however realized I didn't need to reinvent the wheel. There are tons of YT tutorials on tuning toms and kick drums. The Evans Drumheads channel has some...
You can play around with your pedal tension and foot placement on the footboard to dial in what works best for you. When I was playing an 20" kick with no muffling (ie. pillows, blankets, laundry...

Are you looking at the 5.5 or 6.5" deep?
I've got the Collector's Series version of this snare. It's a great instrument IMO.
Great looking kit!
My budget didn't allow for anything custom made when I went looking. I bought Shure SE425, dual drivers. They have served me well. I also use them for podcast listening while using power lawn...
Another plug for Yamaha single braced stands.
An email to the manufacturer may produce a replacement pair if they were defective.
I bought one not long after they were introduced. I still use it. There was a learning curve. I find it responds better to smaller toms. With larger toms I move it around the rim for more...
I paid to have a cymbal plasma cut with the edges smoothed. Worked wonders unit it cracked again on the curve. Hurts thinking about it. It was a nice cymbal.
I like the DW Mag Throw coupled with the 3-Position Butt Plate.
Can't say I've ever not had a tune a drum out of the box. In my experience snare drum heads need to be cranked up out of the box. A perfectly tuned drum typically needs re-tuning after storage,...
I typically switch things up from time to time. I lean toward 10x8 and will substitute a 12x9 too. ...
Hello Bish! :biggrin:
Great pick-up SA! Super snare IMO. The 3P butt plate is an easy add on if you wish too.
Pair a diddle.
The coated G2 is a great drumhead in my experience. Warm tone, good sustain and durable coating. I've not tried the 360 version of this particular head yet.
I haven't gone through too many kits.
1) My "starter kit" was a Maxwin concert tom kit circa 1970s.
2) My next kit was a "return to drumming" Yamaha Stage Custom Birch.
3) My current kit is...
Welcome to DC! Yes there are other DW Performance Series owners. I've had my kit since the end of 2011.
Thank you Rich!
Thank you Mark. I was due for a check in.
Thank you guys!
Thank you FBN!
My favorite snare is my 6.5x14 DW Collector's Series Black Nickel Over Brass. IMO this snare is versatile, sensitive and substantial when needing to cut through the mix.

I haven't seen these yet however I'm imagining they look great. I know they sound great IMO.
