Wow! That's so cool. How innovative!!

What you guys doin' for the 4th of July? Any gigs?
I picked up a last minute sub gig outside. It's been hot as hell here so the word 'outside' scares me. :loller4:

That's right, I forgot about the weight. That too! All around, I try to buy lightweight gear these days.

Never tried that one. I used to have a stool with a back. I thought I would love it but it was just weird. Also, I went through the hydraulic lift drum stool stage but it had this way of bouncing a...

Ha-ha!

He had the fastest singles known to man!!! Saw him twice in drum clinics, years back. A monster!!

That's why they pay me the big bucks! :loller4:

In most cases, 'you get what you pay for'. This appears to be yet another China brand. They're famous for cutting quality to get the price down so that it looks attractive. Pay close attention to the...

Oh, and I said guys, but how about those amazing women on the scene! ... Anika Nilles.... Wow!!

Man, we should update this list to include drummers that have exploded on the scene since 2014. Guys like...

- Matt Garstka - Oh my god, I love that guy's drumming!!!! I remember seeing videos of...

I've heard some good things about him. Apparently he taught at M.I. for awhile and I've met some guys that went there and used to study with him.
Don't know much about his playing but heard he's...

Who knew that this 14" Zildjian paper thin crash I acquired had increased value because of its rarity? I went online to try and get an idea of what it's worth, thinking it's worth maybe only $50 to...

Anyone going to PASIC this year? For those that aren't familiar, P.A.S.I.C. is the acronym for Percussion Arts Society International Convention.
In a nutshell, it's where the percussion world comes...

Hey Ricardo, thanks for checking in... and for your honesty.

You're right… things have gotten quiet around here, and I share your sentiment. DrumChat was once buzzing with daily conversations,...

When someone describes a cymbal as sounding "tinty," they’re typically referring to a tone that is thin, high-pitched, and lacking in warmth or body. It often has a sharp, metallic, or even brittle...

Ha-ha!

I didn't know you were interested in girls Rick. When did this happen? :loller4:

The quality of mid level drumkits has improved so much that a lot of pro drummers are opting for those instead of the top of the line kits. The outrageous prices don't seem worth it anymore for a lot...

lol... AI generated do you think? A lot of that going around these days.

We all do that while we're learning. It just takes making yourself do it and developing that muscle memory. After a while, your arm gets used to the motion and you'll start doing it without even...

Very nice Jackie. Use your left hand to crash that far left cymbal. You'll thank me later. :)

I used towels.

I’ve played around with separating drums and cymbals too and honestly it can work if you're tight with your playing and know what you're going for. The control you get in the mix, especially on snare...

Boy, the organ immediately gives away the generation. Classic!

I'm willing to bet that's probably about 95% of the drummers out there, lol.
