I might have hung in there with them if they bothered to post anything on their social media about the problems or sent a generic email outreach to paid subscribers, but nothing. MD was all over social media acting like nothing was happening. (this was because they were in the process of...

Assuming you’re in the US, I’d suggest a trip to one of the bigger shops to try out as many sets and manufacturers as possible. Even if you’re sold on DW, you might find something different/unexpected that sounds and feels really special.

I flipped it over and see the October 2023 cover, so I guess it is a double issue. Does this count as two months of my subscription??

It looks like the regular monthly issue. Max and Jay Weinberg are on the cover. I’m excited to read about what’s new for Jay and Slipknot. Oh wait…

Welp, yesterday I randomly received the September 2023 MD issue in the mail. It’s been over a year since I’ve even thought about MD and I don’t even remember the last time I got an issue. I think this is maybe the third random issue I’ve received since re-subscribing during the pandemic.

I agree that Brooklyn's sound very similar to the Maple/Poplar Ludwigs. I had a set of the Ludwig Super Classics and punchy is how I'd describe em. I've played a set of Brooklyn's and they've got a rounded punch to them with less of the Gretsch twang than the Gretsch USAs.

I saw Taylor backing Alanis Morissette at a club in Boston just as Jagged Little Pill was breaking. It must have been a warm up gig before the big tour and maybe one of his first shows with her. Taylor was raw and aggressive...maybe getting close to frantic at the start of the show. After a...

Of the drums that are within your reach, I vote renown. It's an all maple shell, but it has the same bearing edges and that great Gretsch sound (couldn't resist). Renowns sound great.

He's somewhat local to me and I can vouch for wacko vibes. He's been selling drums and hardware out of a storage unit for years. I've got no problem with that, but he used to come up with stories as to why he was selling all of his equipment. "Due to health concerns, my loss is your gain."...

He did a great job after listening and giving a few tries. I don't see him struggling with it, so much as taking a little time to learn it and get the feel.

The leopardwood snare looks stunning! I'm not familiar with that wood at all...How would you describe the tone of leopardwood? Edit: I found the video on your site. It sounds really buoyant...not sure if that makes sense...it sounds great!

I enjoy playing with an odd number of toms more than an even number.

I have a Durango. Plenty of space even with the 2nd row up. Lower both rows and you could fit an entire band's gear. Height is good for getting stuff in and out. Not too high and not too low. Easy to drive too.

I have golfer's elbow which is on the inside of the arm vs. tennis elbow which is on the outside. Mine flares up every now and then, but is only really an issue when I'm working out. Amazon has a bunch of cheap, simple braces that help with support if it's bugging you. I have one that I use...

The true pitch rods add turns when first getting em tuned up, but my set stays in tune so well that any tweaks I have to make over time are negligible. For me, the net effect is actually fewer turns of the drum key over time. I've never had a problem getting a variety of great sounds from...

Crossover threads excite me like a Fonzie crossover when I was a kid. Am I showing my age too much???

If given a choice, I'd call out a non Foos song as an ice breaker. 2112...Overture and The Temples of Syrinx

I had a 70's set that I got from Steve Maxwell's in NY and it was a mojo set for sure. The only reason I sold it was it was old and the hardware Gretsch used at the time wasn't great by any means. All of the lugs were attached using self tapping screws which were a pain in the rear...nothing...

Twang is the right word. They've got this slight twangy bite that is so satisfying

Same. Especially when the pedal(s) feel completely different from mine.
