I hate making another one of these threads, but the Istanbul Mehmet El Negro cymbals (by Horacio Hernandez) seemed to have flown under the radar. Has anyone tried these? The stores around me don't sell anything out of the Big Three other than the odd Wuhan unless someone trades it in. I once...

Killer kit, man. But quit showing off Stick Control haha.

I just happened upon the music video for Threshold's Staring at the Sun when showing their music off to a friend and it gave me an idea for a thread. Know any music videos that are unusual, funny, bizarre or just plain awesome? Real standouts is what I'm hoping for. Post them here, and we can...

Has anyone else seen this film? It's a French-Swedish production about a Detective who was born tone-deaf and hunts down these 6 percussionists, or "musical terrorists" that are playing music "on the city." It's original, funny, and I couldn't help but watch it with a smile on my face. Highly...

Ok, now that I've my electricity back after Hurricane Sandy, I'm wanna show you guys my Custom Classic Birch Hybrid! Except for an Aquarian Super Kick 2 on the kick, all heads are stock, but I'm looking to upgrade to G1's on the resonant side and G2's or ECT2's on the batter. Sizes are 10, 12...

I've been thinking about making my own custom pair of hi hats instead of just buying a pair. I was thinking of getting (2) 16" crashes and putting them together. And if I decide I don't like how they go together, it's still nice that I have some extra crashes. Anyone else do this? Any stories?

I want to share with you guys the documentary Heavy Metal in Baghdad. I saw this documentary a good while ago, but it's been stuck in my head ever since and I just need to show it some praise and get the word out about this wonderful film. The film follows an Iraqi heavy metal band...

I have a Health assignment to spread awareness about skin cancer, and this video is very informative and hard hitting. The Drummerworld forum seems like a great place to me to help spread awareness because it's full of older men and women who may have had the experience of dealing with cancer of...

I'm gonna go into my local drum store soon, but I'm not sure if they have what i'm looking for.Does anyone know if the Paiste 2002 20" Crash will blend well with my 2002 20" Power Crash? Or are they too identical.

Here`s my situation: So i have some store credit to Musians Friend, but i`m having difficulty deciding what to get. I only have the credit to spend, so i cant go over, cuz i dont have the money too. Well, I`m torn between buying a replacement for the top hat of my k customs, or get a new cymbal...

This is sort of a spin-off thread of one I made about a broken hit hat I have. The short of it, is that a bought a used pair of 13" Zildjian K Custom Hybrid hats, and the top cracked after a few months. They weren't very tight or loose, somewhere in the middle to give me a little slosh but also...

Ok, so i bought a pair of Zildjian K Custom Hybrid hats last april or may. They were used, and looked pretty used, but not destroyed and beaten up. Imagine my surprise when I found an inch long crack on the top cymbal today. This really frustrates and infuriates me for a number of reasons: 1. I...

I'm a junior in high school thinking about going to college to study in sound engineering and design. I won't name names of colleges just yet, but one specif one I'm looking at has a great program in what I want to do. I spent last summer interning in a studio run by a friend of my drum...

Just curious: Is there a size between 5A and 5B? I love the light grace of 5A's, but the power and grip of 5B's. Does Vater or Vic Firth make anything like that?

I'm just curious: What is the difference between Dry sounding drums and Wet sounding drums? I just never heard those terms before I joined the forum.

I just got a 13 x 7 Pork pie Maple Little Squealer, and it sounds fantastic, plus I got it used so free slightly worn heads and pure sound blaster wires. My problem is I like don't like how much sustain there is. Could someone recommend me wires or heads to cut down the sustain, I'd really...

Can I get some opinions on Blaster wires vs. 42 strand? I'm getting a maple snare and I wanna get the most for my money. I tend to crank the top head very tight, but not so tight that a medium strength hit will send the stick flying back and my face. It's just loose enough to give me control.

I'm planning on getting a new kit sometime in the near future and I'm having difficulty finding a kit with a 20in bass. I have a 22in and it frustrates me because I like to put my toms down lower, to minimize pulling my arms up a lot higher to get to them. Right now my kit is set up so my bass...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, but I was wondering if anyone uses these MEElectronics in ear monitors. I'm looking for something new to play along to a track to when i practice, and my $80 pair of Sony over-the-head headphones aren't cutting it. They seem to muffle what I'm playing and i don't get...
