At least to me, the forum seems just as snappy as it was before Supergrobi. :)(y)

I used to use Irish Spring bar soap years ago. I loved the scent, and the way it made me feel clean. Unfortunately, at some point about 10 years ago I started to become allergic to it. I noticed that after showering with Irish Spring, it would cause an itching/burning sensation all over my...

I have four crashes that are the same model, just different diameters. (16”, 17”, 18”, and a 19”)

Hi PearlBeats, Welcome to the Drummerworld forum! I’d go with an 18” Zildjian A Medium Thin crash, so the jump in tone isn’t as large. As a hard rocker myself, I use a set of Paiste 2oo2’s regular crashes. From left to right on my kit I have a 16”, 17”, 18”, and 19” crashes. I use the 17” &...

As a little kid growing up, I remember watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood on our local PBS station. One of my favorite segments from the show, was when Mr. Rogers would play a film clip showing how something was made. I found it fascinating (almost magical) to see how something like let's say an...

One standard, Pearl tom-arm mount sized hole in the afore mentioned toms (including the vent hole), is not going to alter the sound by any perceivable level audible to human ears. Measurable to advanced scientific equipment maybe (sure, why not), but not most human ears. Yes, a drum with a...

Congrats Rhythm666, On your new Pearl Masters Studio MBX kit! It's 4 plies of birch, with 4 ply re-rings. It also looks like the color of your kit is #154 Midnight Fade. (The same color as my Masters Custom Extra MRX kit, and one of my personal favorites. :cool:(y)) Because of the re-rings...

Your kids did a great job! I'm glad that they had a blast.

A fine job Andy! Agreed, it's a goofy set up to put a thoroughfare between the audience and the stage. Nothing quite takes you out of the concert experience like having an endless ebb of people casually moseying along in front of you. The lady in red was rockin' out with you guys. :)

Great job Ilios! I always love hearing some Huey Lewis and the News, and definitely felt the power! Now, if I could only remember where I parked that DeLorean? :cool::LOL:

As a citizen of the United States, I just wanted to send our deepest condolences to the Royal Family, and to all of our brothers and sisters of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. An unprecedented reign by any monarch throughout history, and truly and end of an era.

Sounds like it's gonna be cool tour Phil! Bon voyage, and safe travels. :)🥁✈️

Hannah, it sounds like you might have a case of "beater bounce-back" that's giving you an unwanted extra beat/hit. This commonly occurs with those of us who like to bury the beater against the bass' batter head. Like WuHan Solo said, the easiest way to remedy this is to port (put a small...

Way to go D! :)
