    Would you rather?

    If I was in this position I'd go the original band route. I've never been a cover band guy and wouldn't want to have to play other people's music. In all the bands I've played in over the decades I've only played 3 songs that were covers. But that's me and how I feel about the situation.

    Old Pearl Export

    I think it may be older due to the lack of their ISS mounts. I have no idea of when they introduced ISS mounts though as I'm not a Pearl guy.

    The "new" wave of fake drumming epidemic

    With regards to Sebastien Lanser, this coming directly from Obscura, the band that he was part when this video was shot, he plays the songs as they're recorded live. When my friend was their touring drummer they told him that he didn't need to play Sebastien's parts note for note because...

    Mounting a single rack Tom - what’s your style?

    All 5 of my single rack toms are mounted on a rack, and the 18 has 2 mounts attached to the rack.

    Rim-shot and Cross-stick with TM6-PRO and RT Triggers

    Do you need the cross stick sound and the rimshot sounds on the same drum set/song? There's a couple of ways to do this depending on what triggers/pads you have. I have the TM-6 but use it for my kicks, trigger samples, and to run my click, so I'm not the expert when it comes to your...

    Ending cover songs that fade out

    I suggest playing a quick shave and a hair cut to end the song regardless of the style of music.

    Powder coat cymbals?

    I'm not a cymbal Smith by any means, but couldn't the baking process of powder coating change the temper of the cymbal?

    Just ordered Tama flat base cymbal stands…tell me if I messed up

    That question wasn't aimed specifically at you, just.the folks that don't like hanging floor toms but like flat based hardware

    Just ordered Tama flat base cymbal stands…tell me if I messed up

    Are there people who like flat based stands, that wobble, but dislike iso mounts because they bounce? I'd rather have my toms move a little, it's never been a concern for me and I have a floating 18" tom, then have my cymbals move while I play them.

    What brand of drums have you been using longest ?

    I've had my DW kit for 25 years. The 9 years prior to that I had Ludwig (2 kits) and a Tama kit. I don't look for a new kit since getting the DW kit, because everything would be a lateral move. I've also used sabian for about 25 years and Axis for about 21 years.

    FT legs w/o memory locks what do you use?

    My floor toms have no legs, so they can't run away unless something fails on the rack, and then there's bigger issues to worry about.

    Does any one know what this snare drum accessory is?

    Maybe a.bumper to keep it from hitting the toms? Whatever it is it looks like it's removable.

    Just ordered Tama flat base cymbal stands…tell me if I messed up

    It's a drop lock clutch that allows you to have either locked or open with a minimal opening. If you set a regular DL clutch with a minimal opening it will pop open when you hit the hi hats because the clutch moves up he hi hat rod engages the lock and opens the hats. This doesn't happen with...

    Just ordered Tama flat base cymbal stands…tell me if I messed up

    Why did you get a drop lock clutch? Are you playing double bass? The DW and the Gibraltar version are basically the same as far as function goes. The Tama sizzle drop clutch (or whatever it's called) is much better if you want your hats to be open with a minimal opening, but it's more...

    What's the Weirdest Drum thing you have ever seen?

    I once played a show where one of the supporting acts had a drum rack made out of cam shafts welded together, with the cymbal arms and tom mounts welded to it as well. It took 4 people to move it due to its weight.

    What head(s) should I get for a SOAD (System of a Down) snare sound?

    Here's some information directly from him. https://www.moderndrummer.com/2004/05/john-dolmayan/ Toxicity was bell brass (I'm shocked I tell yah) and the one after that was a wood snare.

    what cymbal is this?

    Whatever it is it's certainly colorful. It almost looks like someone cut circles out of diamond plate and stacked them.

    Thicker Shells vs Thinner Shells

    Yes it does. I've had sound guys try to do this on my floor toms because they were idiots. The 16 caused low-end feed back and the 18 sounded like an 808.

    What head(s) should I get for a SOAD (System of a Down) snare sound?

    The recorded sound of a drum is not how it sounded when it was played to make the recording. The actual tone of the drum has been shaped using EQ, and has had studio magic applied to it, which results in the tone you hear. That tone might exist in your current snare, but it's only through...

    Tom angles!!!!

    I th I think that may be an e-kit. It looks like there's a cord coming out of the snare.
