Nice! I've been using/endorsing/recommending CP gear for several years, and love the stuff Kevin makes. I LOVE the low profile hi hat clutch. It's so easy and the settings all stay put. just a slight nudge and the clutch stays on the rod, no problem. I have many different beaters, but it seems...

Yes. I once had a set of 10" closed mini-hats that I used in ONE SECTION, of ONE song. Nothing else got "THE" sound I really wanted (and actually worked)--and I tried. I also had 4 floor toms with that set up......

4 piece kits are fine, and I have fun playing them, ...but, I just like having more floor toms too much to only use ONE. I use 3, as my default for everything. I utilize the left side FT a lot. I have one rack tom, but I wouldn't have a huge issue not having a high tom.

I have a few bags that I store them in by sizes and types. I have one (Beato) that I use for gigging.

Went OCD, and previewed the pics side by side.... For "looks", the way it's set up, the 14. On MY kit, with a 26 I use a 9x13, so go figure.... I can't get past the black mic stand covering the whole front of the bass drum...... at least it's straight across🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

In just under 50 years(!!) of using Remo, I haven't had ANY of the issues (tons of) people have complained about the over years of forums. Not sure why. Could be any number of reasons. The snare side heads I've not had any problems with are: Remo SA-0314-TD (clear) Remo SA-0014-TD (Hazy)...

I remember videos of people using it, but, I've never seen one in person. I think Zoro used one in his video series, too.

Thank you for sharing Chris. A sad loss.

I started using flat base stands in '09. DW 6000 stands that I've not had to replace at all. Tama Classic Hi Hat stand is great. Changed to a Caroline pedal this year--pedaL bag is lighter, but not why I changed. The Caroline pedal just suits my foot better in all ways. I started using a couple...

I've never had staining or melting goo issues with Moongel, but, I've used these (linked gel dampeners) for quite a few years now (probably 5). They stay on well, and cut easily. A small piece can take out some frequencies a mic isn't liking, or drop the tone a bit with more. A whole one will...

I use the tip and shoulder on the hats. It depends on the song and/or what I want to hear in the section. I have them at a height I can use the top or edge comfortably, without having to think about having a different hand position on a gig. I'm not doing jazz gigs, or very nuanced playing, but...

I'm of the "all my cymbals are cymbals" line of thinking. I think I've always been this way, but I DO own a 22" Zildjian Ping Ride.... I haven't ever been a "ting ting ting" separate, really defined individual stick sound player, but not because I don't like that sound or anything, but, I'm not...

Sure, I'll criticise. From late 1999, to at least late 2013 the A Line sound REALLY SUCKED. They also discontinued a few cymbals that were available for decades because they started offering "similar" cymbals in the A Custom line. If I WANTED A Custom cymbals, I would have bought them. The main...

I haven't had a double pedal since around '93, but prior to that I wouldn't have carried the pedals by the center shaft. I can't recall seeing others do it, but know it happens. I've worked on becoming proficient with a single pedal over the years, and I've been thinking to get a DP again for...

The Evans/Dixson is the one I use. I have 3 of them. I have.tried out the other "clamp on style" (pictured above) and it didn't work for me because of pedal placement--aside from having to clamp it on. The Evans/Dixson is sturdy, fast to use, and stable. I mainly use a 26" bass drum in my...

I just picked up some 80's 15" AA Sabian Rock Sizzle Hats. Should have them next week. I've had a set of Standard 15" AA Sizzle Hats since '00, and I love them. Wanted something with a bit "more" but the same character and I happened to find a set of the Rock version. Maybe I was supposed to...

A couple people just recently "liked" the Gibraltar Ultra Adjust snare stand I have for my tom--that I posted in 2014. I STILL have it and STILL use it! It is a fantastic stand. I also use TNR Little booty shakers on the stand--I believe they rebranded them as Truevibe Isolation Mounts. They...

I've been down the road with custom sizes myself. I've always been aware that the sizes I wanted are not what most others would go for, so "resale" doesn't factor in for what I've done at different times. Sometimes I've been able to get some custom things through sources at companies, other...

I just got this really great sounding '78-'82 20" A Zildjian Swish TODAY! One of my favorite models of cymbal, and one that has been discontinued for many years. Super happy with the sound of this one. It's pretty tarnished and has some green on it, and has probably not been cleaned in decades...

I just got that issue last week.....
