I have the 5000 and the 9000. Love them both but they are both very different. The 5000 is a standard cam spring driven pedal and has a nice springy feeling. It is based on an old design made by...
on my old ludwig spur lock there was a metal washer under the felt the screw lifted the washer and the felt. Are your k's mastersounds or regular k customs? The master sound has indentations on...

both those drums are great. I think they are also discontinued. This is an example of products that are designed at least to a degree by their players and are often worth a look. Bottom line is their...
people have a tendency of overtightening resonant snare heads. This leads to a choked snare sound. Try keeping the reso head looser and especially looser around snare bed, the four lugs that suround...
have no experience with ddrum but remo made a few lines of sets using acousticon which is a composite of wood pieces and some kind of acrylic resin which gave the shells lots of projection. Louis...
try adding a piece of wood or velcro to your bass drum hoop to beef up the width. My Ludwig set doesn't hold a dw 5000 but will hold a 9000. Some pedals have a short clamp that has little torque or...
I am not implying they are not nor impuning your snare. I was under the impression that die cast not die struck technology wasn't available before around the mid 60's. Hoops prior to then were...
are you sure the hoops aren't flanged? I didn't realize any drum hoops were anything but back then. Flanged hoops tend to make the drum ring more with more overtones, that classic sound. Die struck...
the coatings always wear off in time. If you need a coating then it's time. If you don't need it but want to know if the head is shot take head off and look at it from the side, if it is spooned...
I can get that beefy sound with my acrolite 5X14 and my bb 6.5X14. Their sounds do overlap in many ways but the bb has a greater range of tuning. Don't let metal drums perceived metal ringing scare...
I have a crav ash snare. I also have 12 other snares all really special and loved. The crav and my longo walnut are both hand made with very nice wood. I am unsure as to how they are actually built...
any repetetive rudiments are good for developing clarity of your less dominant hand. I like paradiddle diddles because the last two notes tend to be a bit harder to do. You can also simply just do...
This shall be my next stand, it is heavy but like all dw hardware it is durable and well made. I have about 7 gibraltor stands they are cheap but fall apart quickly. The tilter strips so the snares...
thanks for the uncontrolled laughter this is a classic
Drumming is pretty expensive any way you look at it. Heads, sticks, cases, hardware, pedals, and the drums, cymbals and other things we hit. I have found that over the years better and better...
I do this all the time not just for ringing but for tonality and over tones. I don't detune a tension rod much though, just maybe 1/4 turn. I also find that on some snare drums if I loosen the...
only if I could play wipe out
I didn't read the original quote from pacific. I also disagree with using dawn on any shell unless you are cleaning a plastic wrap that is really nasty followed by waxing or polishing it. They also...
You can use any wax or polish type product on your shells provided it doesn't have any solvent in it. Some car wax contains solvents. I would only use a pure carnuba wax like 1000grand blitz. You can...
Buddy started playing like when he was 4 or 5 years old. His practicing was always playing in a performance. I am sure at one point or another he practiced something even if it was holding the...
I have cymbal stackers some that hold up to three cymbals. I can't fit three if the bell of the cymbal is on the large side so I reverse the cymbal. I also reverse some versions of china's so they...
meant to say "can't" go wrong. One other thing is that with a smaller diameter snare you tend to get a more limited pitch response. It just can't play too low in pitch and for some jazz, you just...
can go wrong with either, ludwigs stay tuned and anyone I know who uses a pork pie hasn't complained. What kind of jazz? Straight ahead or classic you can't beat a ludwig, fusion, progressive or bop...
