Let's see your POV/ Driver's seat pics

Design series Dee Dubs went out the last coupla gigs. Also didn't have access to my 602s so went with my old Trads. 17" Trad Thin crash over 17" DE crash (the Steve Jordan pairing) and my 22" Trad Light ride. Last time that's gonna happen. I'm cool with the Design drums but missed my 602s something fierce.

I made sure to tune every head judiciously to match the timbre note inside the shell, and drank a shot of unicorn tears in honor of The Wood Whisperer and The Professor. Then I slapped muffling all over them and stuck laundry in the kick drum, because I'm lazy and don't know how to tension drums properly. Ham-fisted my way through the gig and nobody was worse for wear.

Here's one for the marketing geniuses who suckered me into buying this thing against my will and better judgement.

I’m working roto-toms at an acoustic set with my friend. I used either my hands or brushes, no sticks. We’re at a church that’s been converted to a coffee house. The owners want to host acoustic jams so there’s a hammer dulcimer, accordion, organ, piano, banjo for anyone to pick up and have a go.

That's a good idea! I imagine cranked roto toms could almost be played like tri-tone bongos

Years ago used rototoms on someone's birthday during an impromptu jam session. They're great for that!
Tune biggest one down for a bass sound and you're set!

Tune the biggest one very low and attach a snare fan to the middle one, then you've got the "boom bap" of a cajon without being a box squatter

Brushes provide a nice "snare" sound, too.
