Yeah. Theyre stuff looks pretty cool.

[Zebman]

But they're pricey!!! $90 for a full-fledged design.

What are the best type of drum mufflers, I have been using socks and beanies but they suck, horribly

[punkrockdrummer]

Good thread. I was checking out that drumART stuff too. Pretty insane. I don't know if I'm at the point where I'd need to make my drums look cool like that though.

Remo Muff'ls. You can get 'em at GC, but as a warning, they take out ALL of your resonance. You get a totally 'stale' sound unless you thwack your heads (which is what I have to do at church) to get some decent decay.

[weezer_army]

yeah that drumart looks cool

You want to attend a tuning clinic? You are from Germany? PM me.

[xhxcdrummerx]
