Hey guys, it's been many months since I've posted on here, I know. I ran across this today while thinking about getting a Breakbeats kit, and thought I'd share it. Perhaps it's already been posted (I searched and found nothing), but I figured it would be a great resource for my friends over here...

Istanbul Agop 13" Special Edition Jazz Hi-hats? I can't find one anywhere, it's really bothering me! I'm getting back a set of Paiste 13" Traditional Medium Thins that I lent out years ago, and depending on how I like them, I might want to sell them and get the Agops. I love the size, and since...

http://www.theonion.com/articles/ad-for-drummer-personally-attacks-old-drummer,31911/ Just thought I'd share and see what happens... I love the Onion :).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H54p11ywUU As a reference... how do you practice playing in such a broken style, other than with a metronome or with music? He's been my drummer crush for months now, and all I've been able to learn is how to play different swung feels that sound slightly off...

I've overused Bernard Purdie's "One, a two, a you know what to do," and a trumpet player's "One, two, buckle my shoe," and I need some new ideas. I figured this would be a great place to go...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fek-Ouy30Io Looks like we've got some new snares coming in later this year. Video says: steel shells, brass tube lugs, coming probably the 4th quarter of this year. 4" x 14" 5" x 14" 5" x 15" I hope Supra-Lite is how it'll be spelled. Supralite (probably correct)...

Just got a Zoom Q3HD, I'm very impressed so far. I've been moving around lots of stuff lately, so I don't really have a kit set up right now, but I did take a video right after I got it, and a few minutes of a gig I played. To those of y'all who have one of these cameras, what gain setting do...

http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/3209552855.html Howdy, what can y'all tell me about this here snare? Worth the restore? Where do I get the rest of the parts? I think my teacher has one similar to it, and I liked the sound, but the wires were old and I wasn't used to the sound/ didn't like it...

Just got a used 22" Meinl Byzance Traditional China for what I think was a good price. From sound files I've heard, this is one of the coolest chinas you can get. It's warm, and with a side stroke mounted bell up, it has a soft buttery sound. The Bosphorus Hammer is great, along with the Paiste...

No pictures today, because I don't have time, but recently a friend of mine's dad let me have some of his old drum gear to clean up to use for gigs and such. I got what appears to be a mid 60's Rogers set in a silver sparkle, with a 20" bass, 12" rack, and 16" floor. There's a Ludwig...

Found a Rogers Piccolo 13" x 3.5" 10-lug COB for sale locally. Anybody know anything about these snares? Looking to add something funky to my collection, before I finally start wasting money building stave snares :).

Hey guys, Found a "Istanbul Mehmet x-cast brilliant turk style crash 18"" on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Istanbul-Mehmet-x-cast-brilliant-turk-style-crash-18-/150604435530?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2310b9504a I've been looking at getting a turk style 18" crash for a while (Agop Turk or Agop...

Guten Abend! After some previous alluding, I'm pretty excited to announce that soon I'll be ordering a new jazz ride to swing on instead of my Paiste 24" 2002 Ride. I wouldn't sell it, but I wouldn't repeat that purchase :) . Basically, I've been listening to 'cymbalsonly.com' sound files for a...

So, I received my Remo Ambassador Snare Side head with No Collar 'bout and hour ago from Musician's Friend through Amazon, even though I've had problems with them in the past and since decided never to order from them again. I think that got me some bad karma with them or something, and even...

I saw some classy lookin' Slingerland Black/Gold hardware on CL. http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/1849841294.html http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/1849801252.html Mostly interested in the stands. Any info? Fair price (offer $45 probably) ? I might get the pedal too if you guys think I should. (I...

I don't know if this is the right place to put this, or if it's been asked before, and I'm really sorry if it has but I have a burning question. Is there any way to put Gibraltar or such 42 strand snares on a Super-Sensitive? Here's a link that describes the SS system that I'm going to base my...

I got my kit recently, and remembered that I would need new heads. The sizes are two 14" snares (the 6.5" X 14" standard maple and a 6.5" X 14" supraphonic ss - my main snare), 20" X 24", 8" X 12", 15" X 16", with a 10" X 14" and 16" X 18" on their way, all in Silver Sparkle. I probably won't...
