Signia fan, you have my respect. Lovely work.

Saw Steely Dan the other night and was blown away by Keith Carlock. He did a great job filling some pretty huge shoes considering who played on the originals. There's some great stuff from the...

I was always instructed to set it up about even with my belt buckle. (This was back when belt buckles were commonly worn at the waist. ) But don't take my word for it. Go look at pics of the...

1 more vote for Roc n Soc here. Get the optional back rest for that lower back fatigue. Experiment with different height adjustments too.

S_tic_k, you're going to like that cymbal. I've got an 18" signature power crash and it's a favorite. Even though they're big, those cymbals have such a range that they work for anything from light...

The music department I attended in college had an old ride that looked very similar. My professor told me it was a Ludwig cymbal from the 60s that had actually been manufactured by Paiste. I'd say...

I think xweasel has the groove right. I'm not hearing any toms. I think there's just a pretty good ring in the snare. I also hear an occasional hi-hat click. You might try xweasel's pattern with...

Drumbledore, you're a man of my own tastes. I've still got that issue and I've played with many a Jeff model Regal Tip. Every pair I ever had were unfinished and felt great in my hands, but the...

My hero passed away entirely too soon on this date in 1992. He rests, but the groove lives on. He still inspires me today.

Thanks Coddude. That is some wicked finish on your kit, I really like it. The reflection of the snare in the mirror really caught my eye though. The badge makes me think Tama, is that right? ...

Hey Lucius, you've already gotten plenty of good advice, but I want to add a quote from an orchestra conductor I had once. He said "If you're going to mess up, be sure everybody in the last row...

Thanks PB. I really like the way the kit is sounding. Very warm but still plenty of punch. I have Evans Hydraulic heads on the Pearl kit and got G2's for the Gretsch, so I'm having to get used to...

I like 1 up and 2 down because I've gotten very used to a 4 piece setup. I love having the ride cymbal down low.

But you got to play St. Elmo's Fire on stage right? That had to be cool.

It's most likely a tuning issue, or the fact that the new heads you put on are of a different construction than your old ones.

There are several variables here. Can you explain the actual...

I haven't seen this one yet:

Drummer: The person in the back who hits stuff and who knows less about music than anyone else in the band, even if they've had years of theory training, general...

I've got a Paiste Signature Series Dark Dry ride that has had quite a bit of blues played on it. It sounds great and stays clean, even if you get into it with the shoulder of the stick a little.

Another option is to buy a regular coated resonant head and a Pearl logo sticker. If the logo sticker isn't easily found on your regular music gear site, try ebay or amazon.

It won't be truly...

Hey Pikachu, I can only add one thing to this discussion, and that is don't rush it! I know you're on a time crunch, but trying to go too fast too soon can really mess you up in the long run. ...

It depends on the gig and the stage, but here's the two ways I set up my Pearl kit:

Thanks PB. That's a pretty kit you have, and you're right, it looks like pretty much the same finish as mine. I was happy to see that it's not quite as orange as it looks in some of the press photos....

Thanks Pastor Bob, those are beautiful drums and you're right, I don't think there's much difference between the "Deep Amber" and "Amber". I did notice that mine aren't nearly as orange as the press...

I believe they're from last year's product line. I got the shells today and have hardware and heads coming. The amber finish is really beautiful. About 1 shade darker than they appear in many of...

My Amber Catalina Maple kit should be here this week. Woo Hooo!

Pics will be posted.
