I thought you were going with Paistes.

Or you can purchase some Mapex cymbal accentuators. They’re two for $2.80.

Paul, it’s the first two numbers.

We went out for Thanksgiving dinner about 4:30pm. We passed a Target and Best Buy along the way. Both had lines wrapped around the buildings.
Many of the electronic stores will have some deals,...

I know you don’t miss the hanging floor toms. That was a fad that didn’t last.


Thanks Alex. I hope your Thanksgiving is a happy one as well.

Casio has 20% off all orders of $249+ until December 1.

Way to go. It’s your first time on this forum and you’re heaving insults. You didn’t bruise my ego. You’re the one that felt that only Pearl Canada could answer your questions. I suggested...

I fully understand, and I’m sure a swastica wouldn’t have bothered me prior to Hitler and WW2. But it’s kind of hard to forget hitler and the third Reich

I wouldn’t play that drum if you paid me $125,000. It’s kind of hard to disregard the “Hitler” thing.

$6,000 for a snare is obscene. I’m sure it sounds great and is well made, but it’s heavy and clunky. There’s way too much lug going on. Like Matt said, there are other “holy grail” snares that...

You first said the kit is a Masterworks and in the following sentence said it’s not a Masterworks, but you also obviously think only a Canadian is capable of answering your questions. Why don’t you...

You have so many beauties to choose from. I can think of at least six that I really like a lot. Of course sound is important too, but I’m sure they all sound as good as they took. The Sonor is...

Steve is one of my favorite drummers. Very cool.

Lonny and Paul, Way to go! I’m really happy for both of you.

I’ll have what he’s having ;).

So you want to buy a Vision tom so you can turn around and sell it. I’m missing something.

From what you described, it sounds like the problem is with the collar assembly, which from what I just read is only warranted for one year. The rest of the throne is warranted for life. You really...

I see what happened. You cut the hole on the wrong side of the Evans’ logo. You’re obviously using Pearl logo decals. I think it would look better with both holes on the right and the evans’ logo...

Paul, Matt gave this to me a few months ago.

Paul, I responded in the other thread. Leave it to you to hunt down that snare. It looks great. I noticed you aligned the logos on the heads. That would have bothered me too. I’m ocd about that...

I knew you’d find one. Good for you. It looks great. The only thing I’d do is swap out the emperor snare side with an ambassador.

Nicely said. This is a drum forum. There are many drummers that have personality problems, drug habits, and mental illnesses. Some may even hold a political view that is different from yours. In...

The orchestra was amazing. Pete Townshend said they practiced with the orchestra for just one week. Only true professionals could master all those songs in just one week. The violinist who played...

I understand what you’re saying. I refrain from speaking negatively about the dead out of self respect. I’ve heard all the Buddy Rich stories too. He, like Ginger Baker were drummers...

I’ve read or heard all the stories about Ginger Baker. When I saw them, I had heard about the conflict between Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker, but it wasn’t evident when I saw them. All three of them...
