I’ll hold off on posting my plans to drill multiple holes in my bass drum for the purpose of installing Roman candles.
Now if we can figure how to get some flames to burn horizontal and others vertical.Priceless. You win the forum for the day.
That would be a mistake. Roman candles are rated for floor toms. Mortar shells/tubes are rated for bass drums. Sparklers are for tambourines, cowbells, and jamblocks; firecrackers are obviously rated for snare drums. Bottle rockets typically for cymbals. Toms are rated for various ground based, low-level visuals.I’ll hold off on posting my plans to drill multiple holes in my bass drum for the purpose of installing Roman candles.
I am getting acclimated to virgin kick and loss of mountable options.It's your set, drill it if you really want to, just don't $ell ll it.
I really like my DW's...absolutely stunning drums...but that tom tree thing is just so re-diculously heavy. It doesn't even go up that high. 12mm posts are in the diminishing returns zone. It would be nice if they made a lighter tom tree
I used this same exact mapex mount on 2 of my Guru bass drums. I have nothing bad to say about it. It did what I needed it to do, and I'd do it all over again. The lug hole spacing thankfully was the same as the Guru lugs.I'm trying to locate a used Mapex Saturn IV mount assembly (THBM2218A). I plan on modifying it (along w/ changing ball L-arms) and 4 of my bass drum lugs to fit my DW Collectors kit. I looked at the previous versions of it, but I want this one. Once I find a used one, I'll do a video of the success/failure of the conversion.

Too funny. I sold off some sports cards to finance my latest and final set purchase.
That's the Ticket! The less holes the better..I am getting acclimated to virgin kick and loss of mountable options.
Not exclusively.Thing is if your drums aren't the way you'd like them, you bought the wrong drums..
And here you are. Giving them a dime with previously mentioned some bullshit.No anger whatsoever. I've never given them a dime. I was just trying to justify DW owner's concerns over resale value.
That said, I'm also not much of a fan of bullshit and double standards.
That's the caveat. If I don't factor in my time, which does have value regardless of the type of time, I've made a lot of money on everything I've ever sold. Time spent making repairs or the like is time not spent playing drums, camping, spending time with family etc. therefore, it has a value that needs to be factored in to the overall equation.Yes, I work on my own stuff. No, I don't put a dollar value on my spare time. Its spare time.
Time to turn this franchise around!You hit it right on the head with how DW owners always talk about resale and not proud, forever ownership.
I've never understood that.
Says the Yamaha guy with the Gretsch avatar!Time to turn this franchise around!
I have no intention of selling my DWs. They are indeed, forever drums.
