I bought about 10 of those recently, some short some long, to finally replace my old miss matched rack mounted booms. Good functionality and they just feel solid.A big dayView attachment 105840

I learned after a got a few Gibralter mini boom arms that Yamaha hardware has the same diameter as Pearl boom arms and can fit in PC-8 clamps (for the DR-80 rack). Otherwise i had gotten a few of those as well.A big day

I have no idea which cymbal stands i have (yamaha 1987) but holy crap they are heavy.. brought one in to work to polish up today and was shocked at the weight.. No way i would ever be a gigging drummer..

latest purchase was a fresh supply of drumsticks <3 if anyone in europe/the UK is wanting a cheaper alternative to the big players but with just as good a quality, i HIGHLY recommend balbex drumsticks, best sticks ive ever played, and ive played all the big makers sticks and a fair few smaller manufacturers sticks as well and these are far better IMHO <3
not sure if they do the USA yet, but you could enquire with them direct
oh, and you get free sweeties/candy with your purchase as well <3

Part of my 50th birthday present to myself, along with the kit I have on order. 6.5” bnob and 7” purpleheart. Copious quantities of that good DW kool aid caused some serious GAS. Don’t worry, all you naysayers; I still practice a lot and I got these drums because I love the sound of them + they serve a specific purpose for me. I’m not a collector.
Scored a gig with a local guy who competed on The Voice right before Christmas last year. He did well (runner up), and the post-tv show events are starting to materialize. These drums will work out great for me playing his shows (1.5K to 5K seaters).

Please let us know how much you enjoy programming your new tool. I found it tedious and time consuming (for me) but once all the samples were loaded it’s very fun to use. I would also recommend a stereo DI box for the FOH and audio engineers in your life.
Direct Box - Radial Engineering
Direct boxes provide an interface that connects instruments and playback devices to pro audio devices such as PA systems, mixing consoles, or recording interfaces. They typically accept unbalanced high impedance signals and convert them to balanced, low impedance outputs that can be run for long...www.radialeng.com
For this the SPDS-SX editor comes in handy. Soooo quick to edit.
Most stages/engineers have DI's with them. I never had one with out.

Make sure they're legit, the last pair ( I play the same stick) I got from Amazon were knockoffs. They looked the part, but were lighter than the others I had and the tips shattered into dust in about a week and I am no hard hitter.
Just an FYI.
Here's to hoping you got the real deal.
Re-evaluate for better, or worse?

For better. Back when I has starting out (the late 80s, when dinosaurs and Jeff Porcaro walked the earth), I bought a lot of Pearl gear because it was the best stuff on the market. Then about ten years ago I entered into a period of unimpressed. On almost any Pearl stand I touched, nothing would stay where it was set - cymbal and snare stands would freely rotate in their tubes regardless of how much you tightened them. That has passed and now I own several pieces of Pearl hardware again.

I finally but the bullet and purchased one of the new Benny Greb snares today . It is the version 2. Beech shell version . I had been playing it at my local shop since it came in and I was undecided between the Beech and Brass shell versions . Both are excellent but I prefer the beech shell slightly more to the brass .
