You will find that the cheaper Mic's need to be Hotter and are more prone to Feedback . If you buy good quality , it only hurts once . Try and get the same Brand of mic that your Band has as its...

I was amazed @ how much this adds to your Bass Drum Sound . They also make one that goes on the resonat head of your Toms . Haven't heard the Tom Version yet .
I do Sound for small (100) - large (3000) Gigs . Most small Gigs a Kick Drum Mic is all you need . I've done large out door Gigs w/ just a Kick and Overhead Mic . You'll be amazed @ how much a good...
FYI , A friend of mine has been playing Drums for 30 + Years . Been having Back Pain the last few years and found out he has a Bad Disc . Years of heavy hardware bags , bad playing posture and cheap...
I have a Gibraltar Motorcylcle Seat that I've had for years . I recently got a Roc n Soc Nitro and it ROCKS !!! No more getting your fingers dirty when you want to adjust your chair and my back feels...
Had Clear G2's and I just changed them to Clear Pinstripes . I think I like the Clears over the Pinstripes . A little more ringy and not as controlled . I personally like the Fatter Sound of 2 ply...
Drum Racks have their Good and Bads . If you need to save space @ your Gig it does give you a smaller footprint . Down side is its a little harder to setup and transport IMHO . If you're using a...
Remo will make a Custom head for the Trixon . I think only in single ply . I know someone who had one made a few years ago . Cost to the Music Store that he works @ was around $ 100.00 ... Coated...
I've been using a 17" K Dark Crash since 1999 . Its my Favorite Crash and other Drummers will always commit on how good it sounds . Yet , I know Guy's who will crack a cymbals in a few months . As...
Wondering if anyone uses an Exotic Wood Snare Drum . Thinking of ordering a Stave Snare Drum Shell made out of some kind of Exotic Wood . I currently have a 14x6 DW Maple , 14x5 Pacific Maple , 14x5...
I think as we get older we sometime wish for our younger days. I quit playing after High School and didn't start again untill I was 45. I've been playing out the last 5 years @ the local Clubs and...
Most drum rooms involved building a room within a room.Building a platform or false floor w/ foam or rubber in between the platform and the floor really help's.What this does is keep the noise from...
I have a Emad batter / Aquarian Ported front head and it sounds fat. Not at all like an 18" ,although nothing like a 18x22.The 12' depth really doesnt make a difference.I have a 16x20 DW kick w/ the...
What you are paying for in a high end kit is quality of hardware,finish,shell's [maple,etc. come's in different qualities]. I've owned several DW kit's along w/ Tama Starclassic,Nooble &...
Its really difficult to get a high gloss finish using a spray can.It sort of like "Nice from far but far from nice ". If you are going to paint your shell's don't forget to tape up the bearing...
Hey Guy's,Thanks for the support.I guess I just needed to vent.I now know why this band is always going through members. I understand they sub member's all the time w/out practice ... Yikes !!! ...
Hey Gang,I subbed a gig recently w/ a Band I never played w/ before.I had 2 weeks to learn 26 cover songs I never played [ some I never heard ] before.We did one practice and didn't get thru all the...
Check out Jammin Sams or google Drum Wraps. They used to be a company from UK that sold on ebay that had great prices on pre cut kits.They's a guy on Ebay selling a glitter film thats like $59 for...
I had to close my shop in 2000.Lost our lease and I was afraid of the economy to commit to any long term lease.I had great line's... DW,Pacific,Mapex,Taye,Sonor,Premier,Gms,Pork Pie,Spaun.Generally,...
I think its time to change the treads that the tension rods go into.Yamaha should use standard threads and you can buy something generic @ your local Drum or Music store.You'll need to remove the...
Buying a PA System is like buying a DrumSet.Its really about how much you want to spend and what you want it to do.My suggestion would be to buy the best quality items for the money you're want to...
I like the chrome hardware better.Its easier to care for and doesnt pit like the brass coated ones.Either snare would be great though.Good Luck
We've all had those days and sometimes you just need to groove as simple as possible to get thru the 1st set.Often when it comes to the meter we as drummers always get the blame,even when the bass...
You could try using an Aquarian Spring mount for the cymbals.With so many drummers to choose from pick the drummer with the most control and use him/her as the house drummer.Tell everyone this is...
You can always ask a another drummer to help the first couple of times.Once you get them sounding good use the Drum Dial suggested earlier.It takes the tension off the drum head next to each tension...
