Hi, wondering if any of you were able to succesfully download this file from Yamaha. https://usa.yamaha.com/files/download/software/3/1297033/ead10_alldatalvdrum.zip I keep running into issues (my PC using the wrong app?) Any help appreciated :)

Hey cdrums21, long time no speak, hope all is well with you. Pete here, still at it at soon to be 70, but cut back on the gigging quite a bit. If I can pick you brain, what would you suggest using a 10" and 14" tom spread top and bottom, bottom being a minor 3rd higher. As far as notes top...

Well, turns out the kick is an 18” not 20” so not going to bother, thanks for all the input

Any Mapex Saturn owners know what series this kit might be?

I appreciate all the replies, some good ones too. For now I’ll probably just sit tight, I also have a Taye Studio Maple kit 20 10 12 14 that I use for a lot of gigs and I have to tell you those thin maple shells really sound great to me anyway.

I have the Crosstown hardware now, great stuff. The TC kits are very nice but I thought the 20" bass lacked a bit of attack, that's why I was considering the 22" and still very lightweight.

Haven’t posted in a while but looking for advice. Over the years I have gone through many kits, DW, Yamaha mostly, Gretsch, Taye. Anyway as I climb towards 70 ouch, I am considering letting go of my mint Yamaha Oak Custom kit and replacing it with a Yamaha Tour Custom. I had two TC kits in the...

Hi Wildbill, you are correct, I sold a TC kit a while back, long story, picked up another one. They are nice and they do the job. Obviously I go through my share of kits.

To my ears the Taye had a bit more attack especially the kick

So, I had a Taye studio maple kit I bought used, I played it about six months and it was a sweet sounding kit. I traded it in and picked up a Yamaha TC kit. Although I have been a long time Yamaha player and still play oak customs I find myself missing the Taye kit? My thinking was selling the...

Corona virus wiped out 3 months worth of gigs so far...and counting, so now I have a bit of an itch to play live again :-) Already painted three rooms, planted shrubs. Maybe I won't retire after all :-)

Thanks for posting, can'tr wait to get my kit. I went with the downbeat sizes, 20x14 12x8, 14x14

Just ordered a kit in the whiskey finish, looking forward to playing them......someday live ?

Now if they can bring back the Ghost pedal :-)

Well, being an antique who made a living playing in show bands back in then 70's I feel your pain. I either rolled up the pant leg or a cloths pin. But mostly rolled it up.
