I am getting closer to finishing my PhD in education and am totally disgusted with the way our education system works. I can't think of going back to a regular teaching position and watching students suffer through year after year of BS and questionable pedagogy, so I think I might open my own...

Just wanted to ask if they have found a new U.S. distributor yet? They seem to be building a new website, so I thought I would ask here instead. I miss having a set of Premier Drums, since the first two kits I owned came from them.

I think it depends on the stick angle of your left hand. You need to position it so you are getting a even strike with the stick. Towards that end, it will depend mostly on you. I don't believe there is a right way to position the left-side ride beyond what is accessible and supports the...

Does anyone know when this line will be available in the US and what price range it will fall into?

Hello. Need some inspiration for an upcoming paper. For those of you who are in band programs (at any level, middle school through college/university) are you satisfied with what you are learning in your program? To clarify, I used to be a music teacher in the public schools. I got really tired...

Just went to the product finder on Yamaha's website and found that all of the Maple/ Birch Custom Absolute/Nouveau lines have been discontinued? Does anyone know if this is accurate? If so, does the product line now include PHX and the next line down is Oak Custom? I find it hard to believe they...

Hello everyone. I just recently relocated to a new state, and want to start gigging and teaching lessons again. I just wanted to know if you think getting a personal website up is worth it or no? Thinking about getting some photos and video posted on it, something like a digital press kit. I...

Hello all. I have a first generation (mid-90's) Yamaha Maple Custom Absolute. I bought it back when the series only cost like $900 USD for a shell pack (ahh, the good old days). This was when the regular Maple Custom was a separate line. I have thought about adding on to the kit with a larger...

Hi everyone. I want to make a set of trash hats (like JoJo Mayer and Todd Sucherman). I have a 13" Sabian fusion hat top. Can I just get a 14" china cymbal and stack the two, or do I need different sizes?

Anyone play or have heard Eames drums in action? Any place I could hear/see some video clips? Can't find any on YouTube.

I am getting into Latin drumming and music and, while I like much of what I hear, I have no idea where to start. Can any of you suggest about 10-20 discs I could check out? Would love to hear a good blend of traditional versus w. drumset. Don't care about chops, just good music and grooving. I...

Hello everyone. Thought I would pull the trigger on an Eames snare. There are different shell thicknesses available and I need some help deciding. My favorite snare sound is the late 80's/early 90's Sonor sound. I am thinking Jack DeJohnette and Steve Smith-type sounds. I want to go with a 7...

Hello everyone. Just got the approval from my better half to purchase a new Gretsch Renown kit. I also have a friend at a local music store who agreed to match or beat any price. I was wondering if you all could help me find the best listed price for the Renowns before I go in to haggle...
