Thread: I just can't keep them intact!

    Default I just can't keep them intact!

    I just broke one of my tom batter heads. Obviously these pro-tone heads wouldn't last forever but what bad timing! I have shows coming up!

    Worst thing is I'm going to have to upgrade all of them just because one broke, otherwise they wouldn't sound the same... but once I have good heads I'll just have to buy one of the same kind whenever I break one.

    But still, what horrible timing! I have no money after just buying the bass drum head and I have the rest of this week to get some quality heads!

    They are two ply heads (emporers) and yes they are more durable than single ply heads. And they are dent resistant too.

    Just replace the broken head with a same new one. Nobody will understand the difference specialy when you play in shows.
    You don't have change all the heads if you don't have that money.
    I like very much the <clear emperors>

    You know Saturn has a point. No one notices 90 percent of the stuff we drummers sweat over. We just think people do!

    You mean they won't be like "clearly he has a Remo Emperor on the 10" but NOT the 12 or 14"... amateur. The interval of the tuning is off just enough to annoy me, well this band sucks."?

    thats what makes you a drummer coke
    but if you think about it
    theres so much other noise going on live
    not to mention micing picks up mainly just tone
    and then there the whole temporary deafness thing that the audience is dealing with so i wouldnt worry about it

    That would be nice. But I wouldn't want a big gap between my toms preventing me from quickly transitioning during fills for a constant attack.
