Was an A. I was impressed with our local GC's service. Sold gear, cymbals / inexpensive drums, not an unfair offer, easy and peaceful. There will be a 22" EAK Zildjian ride showing up soon ... ;)

A bit of a left-turn/weird side of DW topic, For several years I've been having tinnitus, and blocking in my ears. The past few doctors visits I have forgotten to mention this, and a year or two ago the doctor mentioned that maybe I should have my ears flushed. I try sometimes at home and it...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht2JgVdHQdw Does anyone use this snare drum tuning/muffling technique? I've heard about drummers loosening or tightening the bottom three lugs but I have not seen this.

...but this one is mine. :) I've been looking at this drum for roughly two years, sitting on the shelf of a local music store, collecting dust. I'd call it a 7/10 for it's age, everything is original and working order. Pitting is pretty much average to slightly better than average. Very good...

I'm wondering, from the bass player and band's POV, what they will be looking for and expecting to hear. I was thinking of asking for the standards we are doing and figuring it out from there. But I don't want to embarrass myself since it's been five years since playing with anyone. I know...

After reading so many cheerful threads of people picking up new and used gear, I picked up this drum for one hundred. Good to very good condition, I believe it's an early 90's. Thoughts/opinions? I've spent a half hour or so tuning it through the different pitches and notes, but with the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9PsQvJpAkU Part 1 of 4 Stumbled upon this a while back and wanted to share. Do you feel as though this is Buddy's "best" interview? It's definitely interesting and quite candid.

I don't think I've heard his name mentioned on this forum independently. As an offshoot of the Billy Cobham thread, Tony is not a "big name" for most drummers compared to BC. Tony played in a similar way; very ambidextrous and free, perhaps even more so than Billy Cobham. He was Jan Hammer's...

This young woman, although not a great speaker per se, put together a great speech. Ten minutes of relevant and important points in America, especially for the younger generation as well positions of "authority"! Bravo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M4tdMsg3ts

I made this thread with a little inspiration from the "pre-destiny" thread. There have been many influential books and essays which changed my outlook of society and in general "life"; it was Daniel Quinn's "Ishmael" which caught my attention and forced me closely examine how we've been...

Any ideas? They're listed for $100. Owner says they don't appear to be Yamaha..

http://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/msg/3903934578.html is that a fair price w/out snare, minus knowing of any blemishes/wear/missing hardware? Any thoughts or opinions appreciated. Thanks!

So ten years ago I tried to re-invent my style of playing, from more of the rock/metal variety to more diverse and well, musical. From around 2008 to 2012 I spent a great deal of time working on co-ordination and improvisational skill on the drum-set. I was pretty terrible prior to that and...

Hey all, Long time lurker and basically first-time poster. Thanks for reading! I have this Ludwig 5pc drum kit I purchased in the late 1980s. The badges range from Leedy&Ludwig (bass, floor tom) , Serial #'d Ludwig tom-toms (mid 60s?) and the snare is WFL. It's in decent shape, though...
