Hi! Here's a video of me playing my Gretsch Round Badge drums, with a vintage Premier floor tom. Nice sounds, wish I had a 14" RB floor tom to complete the set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rDNihqEvD4

Thomann.de is showing some new finishes for the Catalina Club series! White Chocolate, Vintage Marine Pearl, Satin Flat Black and Satin Walnut Glaze. Also some new finishes for the Catalina Maples! When they're in stock, I'll try to get a Catalina Club Jazz in Vintage Marine Pearl. No...

Don't know if everyone has seen this yet, but it's definitely among my top 10 youtube drumming videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUC98v_r-yc So great, just so great!

Eric Harland live webcast at Memphis Drum Shop in an hour and a half! http://www.livefrommycymbal.com/ I'm really excited!

Hey! For some time now I've really enjoyed playing my 13" Meinl Byzance Jazz Hi-Hats. I believe one of the reasons to them sounding so good is the fact that the bottom cymbal is so much heavier than the top. The bottom cymbal sounds more like a bell, weighs quite a lot, is really thick and is...

Hi all! What kind of wax do you guys use to wax the bearing edges of your drums?

Hello fellow drummers! I'm planning on buying a drum set to use with my jazz groups. I have long thought of the Sonor Select Force Jungle kit being a good choice, however I have a question that I need someone to shed some light upon (since I am not able to try the kit in person). So, if anyone...

Hi! I'm writing a instructional/method book about drumming, obviously. I have quite a lot of ideas, but I'd like to know what you think should be included in it! You could say something like: "I think drum books should include specific Steve Gadd things, because he is awesome!" You can say...
