Before all this internet stuff and forums how we found out our info on drums. Drum magazines, the local drum shop. Not Guitar Center or Sam Ash the small drums shops where the owner was actually a drummer, not some kid that was selling shoes last week. A lot of trial and error, especially with heads. There were no forums to ask the age old question which pedal should I buy or what heads will sound best for me. Oh man the number of head combo's I tried back in the day experimenting to get the right sound. I remember spending hours in a local shop just talking drums, music and everything else. There was no ordering on line, though there were some big mail order companies, but for the most part it was in store and if you were lucky like I was you had a good store somewhat near you.
For the younger generation (I'm 41 now) this is a lost concept I think, not saying that negatively but the small shops just don't exist much anymore and the first place most go these days (including myself) is the internet. But for many my age and older this might bring back some good memories, I know it does for me.
