Re: Ovangkol wood for snare drums
Congratulations!
I'm a bit confused by the 2nd & 3rd pictures, as there's such a colour difference from picture 1. Picture 1 is the same colour palate as ovangkol, but pictures 2 & 3 look like a...

Re: Back surgery success!
Excellent news! Back stuff ain't fun, as I know only too well, so getting it sorted with a realistic procedure is a good call. That nerve interference issue should go quite quickly too :)

Re: New Evetts Drums
Nice veneers, & the videos sound pretty good too :) I especially like the figuring on the model with cast hoops (picture 6).

Re: How do I mike my kickdrum for cheap?
This is probably the best advice here. Especially, try tuning up the reso head, & taking as much muffling as you can out of the drum. A single ply batter head will also help.
Bottom line is...

Re: Giving Away a Stave Snare Drum
Nice drum, & good to see pine used, especially in reclaimed form. Rotary wire brush erosion as a distressed exterior finish is a nice touch too. Something we've done quite often. Works especially...

Re: Silica Gel Packets... Dehumidify??
Good question. If they're modern ply shells, then only consider using silica gel in extreme circumstances. Are they stored in hard cases? If you're concerned, it's actually much more effective to...

Re: Why I don't play V-Drums
Gents, can I just point out that my reply was solely with respect to the playing environment, not the use of an Ekit. The way I see it, that drummer was forced to have the Ekit volume so low, as to...

Re: The thread derail thread
The horse mask & cape is the easy bit. The silver sparkle mankini & dragon wings make reaching backwards for that gong a real challenge ;) ;) ;)

Re: Why I don't play V-Drums
Horrible!
I'd never knowingly encourage a reduction in gig opportunities, but TBH, I'd rather listed to piped music than endure such a hideous performance. It's such a watering down & uber contol...

Re: The thread derail thread
Thanks Larry :) We don't get tipped that regularly, but we have twice in the last three gigs. Long may that continue!
I know, silly Imperial measurements. Who the hell thought a system based on...

Re: The thread derail thread
Don't worry Larry, I just hang - no particular place.
Anyhow, as a derail - ish, I had a hard gig last night. Mainly hard in terms of travelling, hours, etc. Boy, am I feeling my age today :( ...

Re: The thread derail thread
Sorry Ant, I can help you with 956bpm, but 957 is right out of my league ;)
Anyhow, off on a long haul to tonight's gig - might get home for 4:00 am if I'm lucky. BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!

Re: Decisions decisions!
Just put new heads on Ian. When I took the old ones off, they were terrible. I let that drift a bit towards the last few gigs with the Spauns, because I knew I'd be changing kit. Anyhow, just took...
