I previously used Ahead sticks way back when they first came on the scene. I loved them. I never had any bend due to rim shots, and the sleeves lasted me as long as a pair of sticks. I play mostly...
Thanks for all the replies. I was just wondering if that was a normal request as some of the drummers I watched live (one even from back stage live) as I was growing up I didn't notice any taping...
I had four moongels on the batter head but it was still too much. He shoddily threw a few pieces of tape on the reso head and that still didn't help. I had to crank the reso head up to get the sound...
I was playing an outdoor gig last weekend. And when the "sound engineer" was doing the checks, he asked me if I had any tape for my toms. I have them tuned so that they have a long sustain. I tried...
Good luck on your journey into double bass blinkk! I just started the journey myself. My issues are playing steady one practice session and then not being able to play steady the next session. I was...
I've had a Kevlar head on my old drum set snare (Ludwig Rocker II). It had the tight crack of a marching snare, it did not mess with the drum at all. It lasted me forever! However with my new kit, I...
My name begins with a b, hughes is my last name and I am the 3rd of my kind.
Dumbest thing I have done? Well recently, I grabbed the handle of a pan that I had in a 350 degree oven with my bare hand. I have a rehearsal on Wednesday and a gig on the 28th. I am looking for...
Surprised to see Kenny Aronoff isn't listed nor does he have a thread on here. Perhaps I will make one this weekend if time permits.

I use both. Depending on the type of song and/or decade of the song I switch them out. More modern harder/louder stuff I go nylon. Older songs / softer songs I go wood.
In the Chrome URL bar, type about:plugins. This will provide a list of installed plugins. Expand details (on the right hand side) for Adobe Flash Player. There will be two listed. You want to disable...

How much would it cost to start a new thread?
Has anyone had this kind of issues. I freak out when practicing / gigging with my band. I am too worried about dragging / rushing. This past weekend, we had a gig opening for another band. Everything...
Thanks I'll give that a try. When the head is completely loose, I place my finger in the center and I can see distinct wrinkles, however even after turning the first lug just a 1/4 turn I can no...
I have coated G2's on my toms. I recently removed all the heads to inspect the shells. Lately, band practice in the garage has been cold and I just wanted to make sure there is no damage. So I...
I've not practiced in two weeks. I am definitely missing it.
Jack Gavin (formerly of The Charlie Daniels Band and Tanya Tucker) used to use sicks similar to this http://store.drumbum.com/skuSTK-69.html while warming up before a show.
I am making the switch to Traditional. I feel more control. My ghost notes are quieter, and I seem to be able to get around the kit a little easier as well.
