Being able to monitor your playing is an insanely invaluable practice/learning tool. I decided to do the same thing last July. I ended up getting a Focusrite 8PreX + OctoPre because being able to record into my daw and drive several monitors is a plus. The most important thing for me was being...

I'm on talkbass.com alot and the same thing is happening there. They just updated the site with this message: "TalkBass is currently offline due to a catastrophic fire and subsequent fire-suppressant water damage at the datacenter where our servers are hosted. We have been offline since the...

Wow, yeah it is expensive, but very elegant looking! thanks for the link

Hey @Justinhub2003 I'm back haha, which hi-hat clutch is that? Looks super cool

I ended up reaching out to MDS to see if this is common for this series. They said that they do see it from time to time and it's not out of the ordinary. Mystery solved!

you're 100% correct. If MDS says they can only take returns, I'll move on. At the end of the day, all I want to do is enjoy the cymbals, and that's still possible slight blems or not.

It's the Meinl Byzance Foundry Reserve series.

I'll send a message to MDS tomorrow morning. I hate returning gear 'cause shipping gets expensive and the whole process tires me out. I also purchased a new crash from them in the same order and it has a sizable scratch on it. Hopefully they offer partial refunds, if not... I'll take it on the...

I thought I made it clear what I was talking about in my OP but reading back, I definitely didn't. The center hole not being completely round is what I was referring to.

You think you'd avoid such conundrums when buying new from a reputable seller but here we are 🤷‍♀️ haha

Yes they are hand hammered!

I just purchased some brand new hi hats from Memphis drum shop. These were demoed for mycymbal.com so I got to hear them before I purchased. I thought they sounded great and I was ready to try something new. they arrived today and the bottom hat has this weird oblong thing going on. I’ve heard...

Does this stick brand happen to start with an L and end with an S? :unsure: Lol

my set up is right up against a wall so it’s hard to get a good driver’s seat pic.

Yeah, that sounds totally electronic to me. Doesn’t really sound like any real percussion instrument. But that’s my inexperienced opinion

Thank you! Did you have to replace the L-rod to accommodate the diameter of your jam block (assuming its an LP)? Hope that makes sense

Hey do you have that jam-block mounted to the bass drum? If so, which mount are you using? I’ve been wanting to do that but the mounting options are slim

Beautiful kit. Love the Meinl. Certainly a dream set up.
