Hey everybody- Ive got a dw 5002td3 that had a bad inner bearing. I replaced the bearing with a brand new one and noticed there's still some play in the inner mount of the pedal. Does anyone have a decent idea on what I could use as a shim? Id like to get rid of the play as much as possible...

Hey everybody- first of all First. Now thats done Steve Smith just posted some pics on his twitter of some very "turkish" looking cymbals that he said were zildjian kerope. Im surmising that this is going to be a new series from Z thats not out if the bag yet. Anyway this is freaking cool...

Hey everybody- I was playing my dw 5002 recently and noticed some play in the axle or whatever it's called. Ive isolated where it's coming from(it's the inner bearing) but Im trying to figure out how to get it apart. All the tiny hex? screws all fairly rusted in their hidy holes. Ive also heard...

Hey everybody- just a quick post to see if I can get some info. I have a six piece renown kit that I had redone with a USA custom edge. Only thing is, they are not rounded over as much as Id like. Does anyone have any methods for doing this without affecting the flatness/trueness of the edge. I...

Hey everybody- I had a question about protecting high end instruments and any thoughts or experiences would be helpful. I was wondering about what kind of wax would work for sealing the edges of drums. (without affecting the sound) I keep my drums in my attic which fluctuates widely from season...

Hey everyone! I was hesitant to post a thread like this but decided to after not finding much about this in the search... Anyway, I was just hoping to get some opinions and knowledge about people's experience with this... I may have developed some bad habits like playing as far forward as...

Hey don't know who's heard this and I post this as just a way to show some support to an amazing guitarist! I know for certain that I'll be picking up his new album and catching him on tour if at all possible... here's a link for anyone interested in his new album...

Have to step up and disagree with that one about as much as I can disagree with anything. What I might say is that control is not necessarily a young man's game, but when you're young is certainly a great time to gain control. Without sounding like Im going off the deep end, What about Tony...

Yeah reading the OP Black quote a second time it is nearly effusive and I do believe he gives credit where it is due...I guess it was that I hold Ari Hoenig in such high regard that the statement was a pill... And to top it all off, Im not really familiar with Jim Black but of what I do know...

Im sorry but this quote coming from Jim Black (whom I have heard) to negatively critique Hoenig is almost laughable...Hoenig has to be one of the best Jazz drummers in the world today...Jim Black is most certainly not. So, I think care needs to be taken when looking up at people because it's...

Hey! Has anyone else noticed a higher profile with the new Renown diecast hoops? I know there was a difference between the USAs and the old renowns but has anyone heard anything about this? I really love the USA diecasts so I was just wondering if they were using a cheaper overseas version of...

Hi! Jason Burns here. This is my first OP and I wanted to touch on a topic that doesn't get talked a lot about among drummers:listening. So, I'll pose these general questions: What do you find you listen to the most when playing with other musicians? Yourself? Or everyone else? Or is it a...
