Hey guys I just have some quick questions for you! I'm looking to get some diecast hoops for my 14in rack and my 16in floor and I was wondering what are your favorite and tried and true brands? Not very experienced with diecast hoops at all. I was also thinking about cutting my bass drum from...

Hey everyone, I am looking for some videos or sound samples of the C&C Player Date 2 in the Bonzo configuration. I cant find anything on this kit anywhere! I actually want to hear what they sound like before I spend all of my paychecks on a new kit.

I am gearing up to get a new kit this summer and am looking to try some new heads. I was thinking some coated G2s over Evans new reso 7 heads. I was just wondering what I will be getting into. I assume that the drums will sound warmer but I am worried that I will lose some attack and punch. I...

Hello everyone! I just realized that i have enough microphones to actually record drum tracks in my basement. One problem though, I have no idea how to do that! I have Sennheiser E604s on my toms, SM57 on my Snare and an E602 in my bass. For the overhead mics, I just set up the two vocal mics my...

I am kind of stuck in between these two snares. I play hard rock and would think either of these two work great but i cant seem to decide between the two. They both seem quite sensitive and have a nice crack and are dry as hell. Just looking for some other opinions.

I'm interested in a bigger ride and I am torn between Medium ride and the Bash ride. I want one with good crash ability and good stick definition. Anyone out there who has owned both and may have some insight?

I'm looking for cases for a 13x8 tom 16x15 floor tom and a 24x14 bass drum. I have never purchases cases before and was wondering what kind I should be leaning towards. I've heard of Gator, Ahead, SKB and Humes and Berg but have no experience in this area.

Hey again, lol, I recently got a Rock Ridge Rider cowbell for Christmas, but have no idea what kind of mount I need for it. The "expert" at Guitar Center had no clue what I wanted, so I figure I come and ask here. What kind of mount do I need to mount the cowbell off of my bass drum.

Hey there, I was wondering what kind of snare wires you guys prefer. I am thinking about getting some 42 strand wires for my 8x14 Performance Series snare. I am hoping to get some feedback from you guys, because I have no experience in the wire department lol.

Hey there, I am looking for a nice pair of headphones for my dad for Christmas. The most I am willing to spend is around 100 - 125. I really want to get him a good present this year, because all of the others I got him over the years have gone unused or never even opened. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone, i am slowly but surely getting in the market for a new kit. Saving paychecks takes a long time!!! Anyway, I had my heart set on a DW performance series kit for a few months and was sure I would be getting one, but then I stumbled across C&C. I've heard of them before but just...

I am thinking about making my Catalina Maple snare drum look like new within the next couple of weeks, i just have a few questions though. How would I go about taking all the hardware off the drum and cleaning them? I was thinking about using DW tension rods, but will they fit into the Gretsch...

I keep trying to tune my 12inch and 16inch toms on my Gretsch Catalina Maple set and it isn't going well. I keep getting a really annoying sound that I cant really explain out of my 12inch tom. I hit it dead in the center and it sounds dead. I have a G2 on top and the stock head on bottom. It...

Just saw on loudwire.com that James has left Stone Sour. This is quite a blow because he is one of my favorite guitarists and one of my favorite bands. I hope this dosnt cause any conflict in Slipknot, as he is the guitar player there as well and Corey Taylor is the singer in both. Man Joey...

Im looking for affordable overheads for my kit because my band is starting to play bigger venues. My budget around 100 bucks. If anyone has any suggestions it would be gretly appreciated. Thanks! D

I'm looking for an alternate bell to use apart from the one on my AA Rock ride, which cuts like other BTW, but I'm just looking for a little bit of a different sound. Is it worth the 140.00?

I am having real trouble getting my snare to sound good. Its steel 8x14 Performance series. I have tried to use an app on my phone but it is very hit and miss. Tuning by ear is difficult, because i have very little experience. Does anyone have experience with this snare? Is there a note i can...
