Re: Just had an idea for a lug design
Since they are a lesser-known custom company, I'm not surprised that it didn't "catch on".
I would, but I'm on the road, and I can't post pics on my phone. Basically, they use single-point...

Measure twice, cut once. Also,...

Re: Best 2 up 2 down Sizes for Rock?
Where did you get THAT idea? 14x14 or 14x12 is typically a floor tom size. 14x10 is rack tom size, at least when dealing with vintage drums.

Re: Which Drum Set Is Better?
This.
X7s are decent enough kits. What exactly are you looking for that your current kit doesn't offer?
If you like your kit, but it isn't "doing it" for you, change your heads. If you're...

Re: Painting the Inside of Drums
If you use non-clear heads, it won't matter to the audience. Actually, since ALL of the shells are painted the same, it shouldn't matter, except to a collector...

Re: Everybody gets a trophy
Positive reinforcement for successes, consequences for failures. Somehow, society has gotten the crazy notion that consequences harm our ever-increasingly fragile self-esteems. As a result, there...

Re: Larryace - 10,000 post roast
How many Larrys does it take to change a lightbulb? None--the glow from the computer screen on Drummerworld lights up the room just fine, thank you.
They call it the money beat because when Larry...

Re: Larryace - 10,000 post roast
Here's my shout out of love and support to LarryAce, or as I'm gonna refer to him from now on, Phil Callins. He's been callin' me Phil for at least a year now, and that's not my name.
Congrats,...

Re: So how do you mic an un-ported bass drum?
Mic the reso head in the middle for more attack/smack, off-center for less. I find 2 inches off-center to be a good spot for drums 20" or less in diameter, 3-4 inches for 22" and up.
