Cool David! I always look forward to the Shed Sessions, especially if it's someone I've come to know online. I've taken private lessons from Mike at his facility (Beginner at the time and a Birthday...

For me, the Tune-Bot has been great!

I used to have an electronic kit, I've only had an acoustic since last month. I had no idea what a 'real' drum shell should sound like. I 'tuned' my drums as...

Hey guys, just as a follow up. After much trial and allot of error I ended up using single ply Aquarian Texture Coated heads on my 1007 kit.

Thanks for the help.

Do the 507, 1007, Safari and Bop kits all consist of the same 9 layer poplar shells but in different sizes, configurations and finishes? If so I'd like to then widen my internet searching to include...

Hi Jemini, thanks. The difference between the cheaper Basswood and better Maple is probably miles apart and so I'm thinking head selection might be very different for either one. I think I'm gonna be...

Hi Slinglander, thanks.

The 1007's 9-ply Basswood so there should be a 'slight' difference in which head to use :)

Reading over the net I see some have a preference for only using Aquarians on...

Lol, I know, pics or it didn't happen:) My 'Drum Room' is getting rearranged today (in with the new, out with the old :)). Once everything is in place I'll shoot some pics over.

Thanks fellas.

It's a brand new kit at a really great price ($299) and like I said, the dang thing talked to me :) I couldn't leave without it lol :)

It's 10,12 14, 20" in a Natural Burl wood...

Thanks buddy! There's a time and place for e-drums and they really are great for for what they are but, I gotta tell ya, honestly I feel a weight has been lifted off my back. Weird huh? Don't know...

Hey guys. I'm stepping away from electronic drums and purchasing my first acoustic kit. It will be a Sonor Force 1007. I know it's their low end beginner kit but it's just what I need right now to...

Lol!!

Hey, actually, I never thought of turning into a mesh head practice kit, hmmmm:think:

Hey David, i see theres a newer looking 4pc SP kit in my neighborhood on Craiglist for $95 OBO. For maybe $75 maybe I should just get it, change the heads, tune it (as well as it can be :)) and then...

Thanks, and very true.

Thanks buddy. Ya, thinking about it, your right, it's more the cheap hardware than the shells (aren't almost all of them ordered from Keller anyways?). Plus, allot can be done via EQ, Comp, Reverb...

Asking around for opinions, thanks.

I play on a Hybrid kit, acoustic snare and cymbals with two electronic toms and kick. I'll be ordering an all acoustic kit in a few months (DW or Gretsch) but...

I bought my first mixer mixer thinking I would never exceed it's capabilities. It's a Yamaha MG166CXUSB with allot of capabilities. Well, as it turns out, when you start getting deeper into...

Sorry for the confusion guys. I already have everything mic'd. For now the audio coming directly from the mixer is being recorded using Audacity. I've been trying to use Garageband '09 or iMovie '09...

Cool, thanks!

I would like to start making videos of myself drumming to critique myself and maybe eventually post to Youtube.

I have a simple Sony Bloggie HD pocket video camera mounted on a tripod, a Yamaha...

Ok, thanks. Aaarg!, got all excited for a new kit there for moment.

Hi Fish.

Are you saying you heard DW is going to put out a Performance kit in all natural wood, no color? I heard early on that there was an all natural wood Performance snare available but...

Woops, sorry about that!

I have a drum room that I want to be able to plug in a Headphone with a Mic on it into a connection on the outside of the drum room so that someone could not only hear me playing but also be able to...

I hear ya Irish, I'm in the same boat as you. Still pretty much a beginner but starting to explore a more intermediate stuff, like Ghost Notes. I love the sound dynamics of ghost notes and I really...

Wow, great stuff Domenic! Spot on covers and some even better than the origonals!

What Pearl kit is that and can anyone name the two snares used?
