    List your Cymbal brands preferences

    Big fan of Paiste, have about 4 sets of 2002s, Giant Beat and different prototypes. I also like Pergamon in Türkiye. When I put the Pergamon against similar Zildjians it's difficult to listen to clangy Zs.

    Drum Center of Portsmouth

    I've bought from them over the past decade or so. Custom ordered a 22" Giant Beat before it was cataloged, bunch of Reverb purchases. Never had an issue.

    Is Sonor Vintage Series "Dream" Kit Territory

    The Vintage series is the only kit that still haunts me. I've played tons of drums, owned several Gretsch, A&F are nice, played backline DW and Yamaha but the first time I hit that red Vintage kit at the old Forks location, I was sold.

    I’m thinking the breakbeat kit was used as a passive aggressive way to make the drums quieter.

    13" Toms

    Depends on how you tune. I have a couple of 12/13/14/16 kits and I tune in 3rds. Works fine for me.

    New Ludwig!

    I had the 2012 Club Date reissues with the cherry shell and would love to get an updated version of that. Any chance the new non-US import versions of the Continental Club can be imported into the US? Looks like a 12/14/20 could be as low as $1,600.

    Regal Tip Having Production Issues and delayed order fulfillment

    I purchased two pairs of 5AXs and four 8As last month and they were solid and straight and have lasted a couple of sessions and practices. Still feel great to me.

    Worship drummer - variety?

    Why does religion put up so many walls and put out such boring music? Listen and play to musicians playing music. Use your brain, use your heart. Yep, that's definitely where I see this too. There's far more heart out there in music, instead of the corporate "heart" aka, $$ driving most CCM.

    DW's $4000 True Cast Bell Bronze snare!

    Don't worry fellas, you can get an Acrolite far cheaper and will probably cause far less b****ing on drum forums.

    Yet ANOTHER “soundproofing” question

    lookup "producers blankets". They look like shipping blankets but are 10lb blankets used for sound reduction. Add a gap between the blanket and wall to give more air and there by more reduction.
