    Help with recording practice for a noobie

    Thank you CB. I have a Samsung s22 with no external ports, so that’s why I’m looking at a new camera as well. ( shame, shame, I know)

    Help with recording practice for a noobie

    Hi all, I started playing again 2 years ago, and my drum instructor has been hounding me to record my practice\playing for not only myself, but for him to see as well. I used my phone a couple of times, but you can barely hear my bass drum. Would a GoPro be the next logical step? I guess...

    Help with my snare really needed!

    I haven’t really played it in about 9 months, when I picked up my Gretsch Bronze. I had it nicely tuned to have this sweet pop. Now this thing sounds like absolute ass and I can’t fix it for my life. Like, even moon tells and duct tape aren’t working. For a reference, I have a remo black x...

    Help with my snare really needed!

    I finger tightened the lugs, evenly got them down initially with a star pattern, leaned on the head slightly just to stretch it out then tuned each lug to match and when I put the snares on, the whole drum just has a weird ring. Maybe the bottom head is too tight.

    Help with my snare really needed!

    Ya it weird. The drum was getting massive overtones so I figured it was my tuning/lack of maintenance. I just changed both heads and wires and I'm still getting these massive overtones. It sounds like a looney tunes spring bouncing off it's did awful.

    Help with my snare really needed!

    I have a gretsch Brooklyn standard snare that I bought 2 1/2 years ago. I had changed all the heads when I got it but apparently missed that there was a section of burrs on the bearing badge itself about an inch long. Skip ahead to ten minutes ago I go to change the heads and wires, and discover...

    Help with my drum space ( actual shameless plug to post my kit)

    So I know it looks dark. With just the string lights it has a nice soft hue that I actually like when I’m just playing around or jamming to a tune. If I turn on the main light its pretty bright where I can read music no problem. I’m also waiting on some acoustic pads for the walls.

    Help with my drum space ( actual shameless plug to post my kit)

    Sorry for the late reply, as someone said, it’s a frostline thing. But also, just because we have them, doesn’t necessarily mean we can use them. I live in Connecticut state, so depending on where your water table is, you may have a basement with a sump pump that is very wet. I’m lucky, I live...

    What do you guys use to store your extra stuff?

    Waste basket idea is great, and I’ve seen it a bunch of times don’t know why it didn’t register for me.

    What do you guys use to store your extra stuff?

    Maybe I’m off but I find I have various drum stuff all over my practice space ( pads, sticks, heads, keys etc). I was thinking on getting a small mechanic roller cart to store all that stuff, and use the top as a table\attachment point for my iPad. Im just curious as to where you all put the...
