It's been a while since I've logged in and read up on stuff here. I've been out and about riding my motorcycle during my free time (mostly). 17,000 miles on it in '22. Anyway, what's going on with Slingerland? I've tried to find things online, here, elsewhere, etc. to no avail. Did COVID...

So I'm looking at backup power options for the house. I *really* would like to get a natural gas generator system, but it's just not feasible at this time -I have other projects requiring those dollars first. I'm considering a dual fuel generator, such as this one, and having a switch box...

I don't know how I (we) missed this: https://www.wane.com/news/local-news/surack-stepping-up-at-sweetwater-providence-to-take-majority-ownership/

Some quick background: 1) I play a 22". I know it can do everything I need a bass drum to do. I know I can change heads and tunings to get a very broad swath of sounds from it for all different styles and music settings. I acknowledge I do NOT need a bass drum size other than the 22"...other...

It's been a few years since we've updated our T.R. The stage plot is the same, the input list is the same, monitors, electric needs, are the same too. I'm curious as to what other items you/your group has in your technical rider. Are you keeping things such as meals, lodging, facility...

Show cancellations. In the past week, two talent schedulers/buyers in my area (Cincinnati region) have told me some of their clients are forgoing plans to have fall events or holiday parties this calendar year due to the uptick in Covid cases (sorry to bring up the topic). This has cost my...

Damn. https://www.tmz.com/2021/07/28/zz-top-bassist-dusty-hill-dead-dies/

This is for sale locally but I'm skeptical it's an actual Zildjian or even bronze. I've never seen a Zildjian gong w/ rolled/smooth edge, the logo below center, or with the Qin marking on it. This looks like a pressed brass item w/ a painted border rather than hammered and lathed bronze. What...

Bob Bryar formerly of My Chemical Romance is auctioning off his last set of drums. The proceeds will go to a dog rescue facility. Bidding for the C&C kit at last glance was $4,370. I hope his post music endeavors bring him success and joy...

I guess that's a good enough reason to buy new gear.

https://www.guitarworld.com/features/guitar-acquisition-syndrome “Everybody enjoys it when you buy a new instrument or a new piece of musical equipment and share it with the community. It really is something that is a communal event. New Guitar Day, or something like that, and people are just...

So I just picked up an SPD-SX and am planning on dropping in a 32GB microSD per the info/instructions I found here: https://www.vdrums.com/forum/advanced/technical/1135274-upgrading-spd-sx-internal-memory-is-this-true I'd like to do the same to my Yamaha Multi12, but haven't found any guidance...

Rest easy, Mr. Tarlek. This year's Turkey Drop at the Pinedale Mall will be in your honor. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/frank-bonner-dead/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=news_tab&utm_content=algorithm&fbclid=IwAR0zv59rKrVOyGpQTBQkDEq5q3aX8bmfcE2fusrUYTZCjiXwgMcL8wwgbhQ As a young kid...

If you have an alternate bass drum that is smaller than your regularly used bass drum, which measurement were you/are you more concerned about being smaller? When selecting a 2nd bass drum for tighter spaces, are more concerned about clearance/space in front of the bass drum or taking up less...

I think it is. But if it's legit, I'm curious as to why it has only 8 lugs per side. And oof, what they did to that badge. https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/msg/d/cincinnati-ludwig-vistalite-14x10-snare/7326021163.html

Article: https://gizmodo.com/these-drums-beat-in-perfect-synchrony-because-theyre-qu-1846868881 From the article: Through his experiment, Kotler essentially makes the two separate drums behave like they are somehow connected, like the two ends of the seesaw. Among physicists, this is known as a...

I'm sure everyone has had to adjust their kit at a gig due to the drum riser or stage size. But what about where you live/rehearse? Have you had to change your configuration or drum sizes due to space limitations there? Or perhaps when you finally got more space, did your kit grow?

I'm looking at picking up another DW5000 pedal and have seen several w/ a footboard that says "chain drive" near the top rather than "The Drummer's Choice" near the bottom. Was this footboard used a couple generations ago, like the AD/TD2? I don't mind picking up an older generation 5000 pedal...
