Thanks for the response guys.
I already fixed the floor tom.. i assembled it upside down (duh).
The ahead sticks were a gift from my girlfriend. Yes im a metallica fan.
I plan to replace all the drum heads with evans and as money allows invest in cymbals.
Im learning basics beats now from freedrumlessons.com. and having fun with it. I play guitar but wanted to play drums also.
I can see this will be as addicting as the guitar gear..i want cymbals, double bass pedal, drum heads.. i could go on and on...
BTW.. what are isoloation headphones for?
