Same issue here, love the sound of them on toms, but have to use Emperors as the Ambs don’t last.

For me it would be… 1. DW5000 (by far) 2. Iron Cobra 3. Eliminator And that’s the problem, ask 10 different people and you’ll get 10 different answers. It comes down to what works best for you. But the bottom line is that they are all excellent pedals.

That's good to hear. I guess the reason for not including a thinner ring is cost, at least you can cut the thicker ring down to your taste. Mark

You may find that this works. EMAD’s come with 2 rings, a thick and a thin one. Most people I see using EMAD’s are using the thin ring, so I can’t for the life of me think why Remo only supply a thick ring with the SMT heads.

Nicko McBrain has had a sooty character on his bass drum for years.

A Ludwig Copperphonic, 5 or 6.5, both are excellent.

I have a VAD307, I only use it at home for practice and learning new stuff. It's a great kit, expandable and I love the fact that it has Bluetooth.

Ash is actually a UK session musician, he also tours regularly with different artists.

As Ben above says, that definitely looks like a production fault, in 30 years of using Evans heads I have never seen that!

I own a 5.5 RC, it's a wonderful drum in both build quality and sound. However, as Chris says above, there are a number of other options that are also worth a look at.

I’m guessing that it depends how severe the tremor is, I’ve had an essential tremor in my right hand for many years now, I’ve never even thought about it in terms of my drumming. I’m a photographer by trade and it does affect that side of things.

Some people just want to learn from other peoples wisdom whilst doing their homework on what kit to buy next, it’s a drum forum so you will get all sorts of posts from people of all sorts of abilities here.

I had exactly the same problem with my 5000 Hi Hat pedal, I just ripped the velcro off, perfect now.

+1 on both of these!

I use an Audix D6, I've used several other big brands in the past but the Audix always sounds great to me.

The premier name is now owned by a large music retailer in the UK called Gear for Music, the kits are made in the Chinese factory where a lot of the other instruments they import are made, I very much doubt that they will gain much momentum as a brand as it just seems to be another line for...

I've played a lot of aluminium snares from different manufacturers over the years, to my ears they all sound similar (not the same), but they all have that same dry sound, sharp and metallic when tuned high. dry and woody when tuned low.

Thanks for that, I think that this particular kit was manufactured sometime between 2012 and 2018, I might just drop DW an email.

I guess English humour doesn’t translate well everywhere 😊

Does anyone know when the True Hoops were introduced on DW kits? I've just purchased a second hand kit, it has VLT shells, the current badges, labels on the inside of the shells but no date stamp. My older DW kit has the date stamped inside the shells. TIA Mark
