  5. Re: Do you allow endorsements/signature series to influence your purchases?

    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...

    Re: Whats your favorite snare and why ?

    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...

    Re: Is it time to change drum head?

    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...

    Re: Snare advice

    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...

    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...

    Re: Can I Stop Drum ring w/out damping?

    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...

    Re: Turtle wax, laquered shells?

    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...

  24. Re: Pork Pie sqlr 13x5 vs Luddy cs custom 14x5

    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...
  25. Re: Pork Pie sqlr 13x5 vs Luddy cs custom 14x5

    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...
