Love that finish!

Oh yeah.

This is the first thought that comes to my mind as well. It would also be cool if the inhabitants of the city had a degree of unpredictability and purpose. Maybe something involving the recent AI surge. And for whatever reason, I love mini games within games, so more of those.

I‘ve been playing GTA since the original two on Playstation. I have loved all of them except 4. I thought it was a step up in graphics compared to San Andreas but a step down in most other areas. 5 is the masterpiece I was expecting after SA. I have a feeling, after 5, my expectations are going...

Agreed. It is rare that I hear a Zildjian in store that I like. Every now and then I hear one that sounds amazing and it keeps my faith in them. My dad has some great sounding Zildjians. The inconsistency is a pro if you have the opportunity to try multiple cymbals out. The thrill of the hunt...

I went to a shop to specifically try out the Sabian Anthology line. They were okay but I wasn’t impressed. Hit some Giant Beats (for the first time) and 🤯. I will be purchasing some in the future without a doubt.

Same finish! Tama’s lacquer finishes are so well done. The only difference is that mine are Birch/Bubinga. Absolutely flawless out of the box. I believe mine were the first year of Starclassics made in China.

Anyone else try to click the other thumbnails in his pic? 😂

I can definitely attest to the Tama Starclassic B/B fitting the description you gave of your Renowns.

I guess I won’t be talking about my local GC drum department then!

Trying trad grip is like trying to eat with chop sticks. It‘s a novel idea but I don’t see any benefit that outweighs the learning curve. Do I put the sticks in my fingers like I know what I’m doing every now and then? Sure, it’s fun. But I just like matched grip and big spoons/forks.

Do you bury the beater? That can cause double triggering if the head (or other surface) is tight enough to get a little bounce when pushing down.

Believe it or not, it all started when I was sitting on the turlet. Sorry… forgot this was a drum forum… the "porcelain throne."

I accidentally bought myself an 8 pc Tama Superstar Classic kit. Not on the list, but no regerts.

Here‘s a pic of my B/B.

As the owner of 2 Starclassic kits, I’m not a good person to talk you out of it. I have a Molten Brown B/B and a Limited Finish MIJ Birch. The W/B and the Maple are identical other than wood. I like the sound of birch more, so for me it wouldn’t be worth the higher price on the maples. I have...

My justification for buying Trick double pedals was that I used and abused my iron cobras for around 15 years. If I take care of the Tricks they might last me the rest of my life! I’ve also been a double pedal fanatic since day 1.

I don’t know about GOAT but Dimebag and Tom Morello were the ones I was in awe of during my teen years. GOAT has got to be Jimi IMO.

Nack wishes Forrest Gump would have taken up the drumset instead of ping pong. ”I just kept drumming” "and then one day, I beat this guy in a drum off. I don’t know why everyone was so impressed, he never even practiced." Buddy Gump Music Store… come on, it writes itself.
