So it's been a minute since I've been on the drumming scene since I last sold my set in June of 2011 before I left for basic. I'm looking to buy an electric set for my barracks now that I've been stationed and need a rough point in which way to start. With tax income coming in I'll have around a...

So i've had this set since February, but I finally got time to take pictures of it. I used to have a Tama Swingstar but I got tired of it and wanted to check this company out. I'm rather pleased with the drums in short. Time to show them off. (excuse the quality a camera phone is all I have...

I've been playing drums for 6 years now and I wouldn't consider myself bad in any means but I feel like I could be alot better if I just had some direction. So with that said, I've been thinking recently about going to Atlanta Institute of Music and studying percussion to further my playing...

First off, I'm a self-taught drummer that's taken/takes tips from more advanced drummers in my area and checks out video tips online when I've hit a rut, so I'm use to going over and over certain things until I'm comfortable with them but about the triplets. I don't have trouble with triplets...

So I ordered a Dixon Demon 6 piece shell pack on Musicians Friend on Sunday but they have yet to put a tracking number on my order after 3 days. I just wanna know if this happens to some people or should I call and see what's going on. I'm not all that internet savvy when it comes to ordering...

I'm getting a new kit for my birthday and I'm most likely buying one of these used for $500, but before I do I want to know one thing. I've been hearing a little bit about the hardware and it not being sturdy compared to beginner tama kits and others, so if you own one or have had experience...

I found an old aluminum snare that one of my dad's friends had given me awhile back and for not being a labeled snare it sounds rather well, personally. It's cosmetics on the other hand need a touch up i've come to decide. So with that said, I'm wondering a couple things: 1) I'm wanting to...

I think this site has pushed my addiction to drumming across the line after tonight. It's 3:30 a.m. in GA and I woke up out of my sleep, laid there for a minute, wanted to play the drums but realized it was late and my whole family would hang me from my toes if i did, so instead I hopped on...

This link is to a jam that my twin, older brother, and I did one morning before my twin and I left to go out of town. We all three were a bit hazy from the night before, including we had just woken up. With that said, criticism is fine just keep it positive which I don't really expect any poor...

I'm thinking about buying a Gretsch Catalina Maple set for my birthday but the only thing halting me from purchasing is that the 10" and 12" toms are mounted ON THE KICK. Before I purchase I am wondering if there's a way to seal the hole that holds the mount for these toms once I own it. I...

I'm trying out alot of different sticks right now to see how different they feel and which ones I prefer the most and I stumbled on a set of these over the internet. I was wondering: Has anyone on here played them with them? How do they feel compared to Vic Firth 5A's or any other stick? They...

http://www.unixdrums.com/images/gallery/36b.jpg I've been looking for it all over and I wanna use it to see how it works, idk i'm just curious about it. If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated.

here's a link to my twin singing an original song, and i just listened to it tonight after a long while he wrote it about two years or so ago. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=322563086 i'm posting it just to get some feedback. it's recorded on mp3...

This was a couple months ago when i was seeing how well my camera recorded cause i'm too cheap to buy mics lol the beat changes about three thirds the way through and i'm aware of this. if you got criticism though keep it constructive. and sorry for the camera angle i don't have a tripod...

I checked the sound files out on this cymbal and also gave them a run at guitar center and almost bought it on the spot. but needed a little time to think about it and get some testimonials. I was wondering if these cymbals are tough enough for hard hitting cause i tend to bash on my set and...

i'm looking into these kinds of drums and i'm highly considering buying a 6 piece set either cherry, maple, or birch. I'm not looking for anything specific just about a "guestimation". if anyone has ever bought these kind of drums from any custom drum builder i would like to know a rough...

So i'm looking to get a new kit and i'm bouncing between the Gretsch Catalina Maples and Tama Superstar SK's. The style of music i like to play is usually rock or pop. i was thinking to go with the superstars with some coated batter heads for a warm sound on the birch but just wanted some...

so the bearing edges of my mounted toms got a little chipped up, we don't really need to say why, but i need to know if i can fix them or if i should just buy some new toms and ditch these. there not bad all the way around, just where the edges would touch the bass drum maybe like an inch and a...
