I'm envious - I wish I could have seen that line up, but I'm in the US. I will be keeping my eyes open if they tour on the east coast - absolutely on my "must see" list.

Everything about this guy and this band is off the charts incredible...

How much I like a song is always based around the lyrics and melody and how they convey the feeling & vibe of the song. The music could be great, but if the lyrics are empty, then 99.9% of the time, it's not gonna make to the second listen. Just like a good drummer can make a marginal band sound...

Too good to use? No such thing. Practicality would be more of reason to not use a kit for me, but not quality. Regardless of the situation, I always want my stuff to sound as good as possible.

Will do, brother and thanks for the insight and info. As luck would have it, the person I got the shells from has a gibraltar rack he's looking at parting with. Thinking the black one I have might be to an older Simmons kit. Would have made sense if the clamps had a corresponding notch to lock...

Sorry, was away. Yes, it is 1.5" tubes. There's a possibility it could travel, but more than likely it will just be a stay-at-home kit. And yes, since it's just going to be kit #3, I'm not looking to break the bank, just using what I have at my disposal & keep whatever spending I have to do to a...

To me the sizes aren't as important as the difference between them. One kit is 2" steps, 12-14-16-18 toms w/24 bass, the other is 3" steps, 10-13-16-20 w/24 (20" floor because a 19" doesn't exist!)

Stoked for this album - F-ing brutal!!! Coming out in March, can't wait!

Yes, that was my next question - would an electronic kit rack be sturdy enough to mount acoustic drums and cymbals? I was given a bunch of random shells and have enough to piece together a franken-kit - 10, 12, 13, 14 toms & a 16 floor. Was thinking 3 up and the 14 as a floor along with the 16...

Yeah, knew it was from some kind of electronic kit, the fluted tubing I hadn't seen before on racks and hardware compatibility was what I was wondering about. What is the standard size tubing on them? (if there is a standard) Was hoping using it was a possibility thinking that it would be a...

So I was gifted these rack pieces a while back and they've just been sitting, but now I may have a use for them just will need some additional parts. Not ever having used a rack system, I'm not well versed in mfg's, etc., no branding anywhere. Anyone know what this is? Any help appreciated -...

Yes, I did, but forgot to take a photo in my zeal of putting it together. I used a mixture of the wood glue & some fine sawdust (scooped some out of my table saw and worked it through a screen to filter out the chunky stuff & get a baby powder consistency) Block sanded with 240 to even it out...

Chrome cleaned up nice Filling in the holes from the tom mount & bass spurs All filled & smoothed out Last step! Ready to make some noise!!

Alien Tape is basically the same material as a clear moon gel but in a roll and a lot cheaper.

Another floor tom conversion using a 20" bass drum... What I'm starting with - an old 20" Ludwig Rocker Bearing edge on one side had a lot of dents and dings and a little delamination of the shell Now to get to work... (to be continued)

I had tried that at first, but it didn't help as much as I would have liked. Another suggestion was to adjust the tom tunings, which I did a little, but I was really happy with their sound and didn't want to stray too far from that. I wasn't 100% in love with the snare tone to start with and the...

I just had this same issue with a Pearl Sensitone brass shell snare, cleaned it up by making a zero ring and put it inside the drum on the reso head. It took some experimenting to find the right diameter and width (ended up being 13.5" od X 3/4) Changed tone to be a little warmer but not boxy...

Did some experiments and surprisingly, this works! Made a 1/2" wide, 13 1/2" ring so it would sit under the bevel of the bearing edge but not touch where the head sits on the shell. Buttoned it all back up, set the batter back to where it was on the Tension Watch - the batter is an Evans coated...

I have used the Evans ST dry snare head that has the inner ring - I'm talking about the snare reso. Great suggestion - I didn't think of that one, but I'll look into it. I do the cotton ball trick in all my toms and that works great. I did think about trying that with the snare but it's on the...

Was thinking about trying this - making a zero ring and putting it inside the snare on the snare head. A couple of my toms are making an annoying sustained snare buzz and don't want to go any tighter on the snares & lowering the tension on the snare head didn't help solve it and made the crisp...
