So is this forum like a dictatorship? You closed the thread, didn't even give me a chance to respond that there were in fact NO links in my description. I just checked to confirm that.

All I...

So tell me how a review on YouTube, not linking a product at all is selling? I didn't even mention the price of them either. Quite the sales pitch I was doing.

It was a review that I feel ...

Why bother. It'll get taken down again. It's in other places I frequent.

Hmmm. Well i guess an honest review of a product that is drum related so other drummers can see and hear it is against the rules. That's a tad different than advertising but I've had other posts...

No message? No reason? I guess posting a review of a product in the gear section isn't allowed?

How about you guys make a separate "whats your favorite sizes thread" to argue there as it is pretty off topic.

As far as used, If there are wraps check the condition of the wraps. When you get...

I'm older than I look. I have been playing probibly about 24 years myself but I totally understand. I will say in most recordings I do prefer the older stuff where bands recorded live off the floor...

That's a pretty reasonable response.

In regards to the tuners. Even if you could tune to where you prefer by ear, something like a tunebot could record those settings, then when you swap heads...

I think you've made this same comment before on one of my posts, maybe time for new material or did you just copy paste?
Pillows work, but not as well. I prefer a consistent surface, and the moon...

It's a good way for FORCE people to have good technique. If you have this habit this pad will make you change how you play.

It's a very common thing too. I used to be guilty of it myself. I...

I made a review of the Moongel workout pad and compared it to my 4 other pads in this video. This thing is a great way to get your fingers cooperating with the stick better. If you want your...

I must have missed something. If you play larger gigs, or spend time in the studio that is all pretty common stuff. Almost every sound guy will EQ your drums to take out many of the mid range...

Bink to me sounds very bright and short and choked. toom sounds like pitch bend. But I have never heard those words to describe either.

I agree with the venue statement. I have a backpack with...

I was expecting those reactions and comments here. I also Usually tune it to sound like a snare drum without a tuner. But once AGAIN I tried this as an experiment and had pretty good results.
...

Here is another quick video I made on tuning my snare to a perfect 4th with the tune bot as well. I seemed to have pretty good results on it and it sounds amazing in the room. Lots of body and a nice...

I didn't get to exact intervals between my kit. I will tune a tom to sound good, then hit them and see if it should be lower or higher. The relation is only between batter and reso. Having a 14...

Even just doing it by ear I always prefer a small pitch bend. I find myself putting gels on more when I tune to the same pitch. This is a more punchy sound with a shorter decay. There is nothing...

I agree something is off with the floor tom. I'm not 100% sold it's the tuning though. They are year old heads and the mic position on that one was pretty bad too. I'm going to play around with it a...

I had a Drum dial, and the tunebot and a few more things sitting downstairs for years. I figured they were all gimmics and didn't work well and I kept trying and half the time my drums would end up...

I'll check it out for sure. This was more for experimentation and seeing how a perfect 4th between the reso and batter sounded. On a one up one down kit I'd tune a 5th BETWEEN DRUMS, and a 4th...

Here is a video I made tuning my toms to perfect 4th's using the Tune-bot

A few quick points

1- These heads were replaced over a year ago...

My metal band finished up getting our new CD mixed / mastered finally. I took a few of the clips from recording and put them over one of the new tracks. (Video editing is not my specialty) I am...

Tunebot will help first off. I find between 270 and 350 are the sweet spot for the batter, between 380 and 420 for the reso.

If your reso is too tight it will sound choked and papery.. When I...

I always use g2's over g1's, emperors's over ambassador's etc.
I will change to different batters but always stick to single ply plain resos.

I have been toying with putting a few cotton balls,...

I'm quite happy with it.. I also fixed up my axis shaft and it no longer slips too... Spoke with a few people from Axis on the phone.. CRANK the set screws with the drum key screw backed off.. use...
