Lol i just clicked on a snare that looked nice and spotted this... Looks like they forgot to link NAME BRAND to the actual product 😂

I like the 'Splinter Cell' one! Just something about how that water reflects the nice outlines of the city. Below are 2 of mine. The first one is of the progressive rock/metal project i play in. At the moment it's just the guitar player and me (wrote those songs with a bass player who left...

Now thinking about it... i remember when Paiste released the Rude 18 and 20" Basher models that i was surprised on how nice they sounded. What i do have realized over the years is that Paiste cymbals in recordings and live performances always cut through flawlessly. For now i have set my sights...

The overall look, the hammering and what looks like a once brilliant finish makes me think this is a K Custom Ride. What size is it? It does have some 'blemished' spots which could indicate a Dry Ride or Special Dry Ride, but what idiot would polish a Dry Ride... :ROFLMAO: My bet goes to a K...

I was about to say 'don't get those!' until i read that it's for a shared set haha. I have the double pedal (chain) version of it that came with the Alesis DM10 pack (with throne, sticks, headphone etc) years back and the pedal feels very sluggish. Pedals are very personal. If i play a house...

Just a question that popped up; do you replace a stick when you break one, if you feel it's about to break or when the balance is of? Or another reason? I 'retire' a pair of sticks when i start to notice that they start to be unbalanced. It's a subtle thing, but most of the time it's because...

The coated CS is my favorite snare head for the exact same reason; just enough dampening of overtones. Especially when you turn it really tight. Tried the clear CS also for a while, but i found i missed the warm feel and sound of the coated version. Might slap the clear CS on a piccolo snare i...

Just posted this in another topic, but i guess i can call myself a Vater convert haha. Been going back and forth between sticks and wood types over the years. Eventually used the Promark Todd Sucherman signature stick for quite a while, but when the price increased dramatically for that stick i...

Last Friday i tried the Wincent maple 5B's. Long story short; going to stick to the Vater Sugar Maple 5B's. Feel and sound on the drums is just spot on with these sticks. Found that the Wincent maple 5B's are significantly heavier and also because of the tip i get too much brightness out of my...

I think this also applies to progressive rock/metal (which i love by the way). It's about breaking through barriers and doing things that aren't the 'established order'. But like all human things; stray too far from the main flock the flock and you'll be criticized.

I'd say that a nice word for playing it correctly would be 'Mooning your way through the setlist', but that sounds a little raunchy

Another reason to use a rack ;)

Millenium is the housebrand of Thomann. I wouldn't call it the best quality though. I have the Pearl DR-80 rack and for its price it's an excellent rack. Sturdy and doesn't move. Downsides are that you can't lower the rack bars. They're all on the same height. Another downside is the PC-8...

When the hardcase of my Tama Iron Cobra 'broke' (the closing clips didn't work anymore and had to use a belt to keep it closed) i replaced it with a Tama pedal bag. Upside is that it's really lighter and more easy to haul around.

Last Friday i changed my setup again for the nth time. Had a 3 up 2 down setup and went back to a 2 up 2 down setup. I had the 'traditional' setup (toms over bass drum) 2 years back or so because that really made for a tight setup and i could bring everything in more closely. With another band i...
