Haven’t posted or even kept up here much the past year or since the iPhone app has gone down so I’m not too keen on with what’s happening with you all here. Anyway, my question is on Slingerland...

I keep waiting for Pearl to re-introduce it's high end Birch kits. maybe in the music city custom
Line?

Agree with the above posts. You can tighten the reso head tighter than you might think, if you go too tight, you'll get to a point where the drum will just sound choked. That's when I usually back...

I'm not sure how a tune-bot could not work for you. It tunes a drum perfect any way you want it. Tho I don't tune my drums with it, I do use it to recall my personal settings after changing heads or...

I've had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. Once you start feeling the tingling and weakness in the thumb and finger as you described, it will quickly turn to pain. I stood it as long as I could...

Very nice! I have the same snare in vintage wine and the 6.5x14 masters have always been my most versatile snare. They have a huge tuning range. Hope you enjoy yours

That's good to know, I'll have to check into it

I agree, tho an inside finish is not my thing, you'd think pearl would offer it on the MW series if people are willing to pay for it. Maybe it slows down production or something, who knows. I'm...

It's really not a complicated job at all but it does take a lot of elbow grease (sanding) and is very time consuming. It's not something you do in an afternoon of boredom. I recently took on the...

Good grief....

I played on a Yamaha oak kit back around 2006 or so and I was not impressed with the tom sounds. They had a strange tone to my ear. I remember them being very loud and cutting drums without much...

This is why I would think if Pearl was to do an upper end Birch kit, it would probably be in the Music city custom ballpark (but with Birch shells) to keep it away from the highly Successful Session...

From what I understand, This is the exact reason Pearl quit making their tom holders with this black rubber/plastic piece on top. They are now made solid without the plastic and I've had no trouble...

I think we have a salty LSU fan on our hands this morning....RTR!

I haven't read all 4 pages here but I know what my response would be... I'd pack the drum up and take it back to the dealer and demand that he handle the situation. Low end or high end drums makes...

Nice kit.. The kick hoops in all black are a winner with me... Looks so much more elegant!

511196 latest gear purchase...Upgraded from my Eliminators to the newer redline Eliminators and I'm very pleased so far with these pedals. I've always been crazy over the DW 9000 doubles but just...

That position looks like a good spot for them, as you said, a little lower and maybe tilted a little more towards you, whatever is most comfortable. They do look good tho and I'm sure they sound good!

Concerning the rubber gaskets, I did this same thing a few years ago on my first mcx kit until I saw something here about how they should be mounted correctly and it really made a difference. All of...

I love the look, tho I'm curious how wood hoops tune up and sound compared to the alternative?

I did notice that he has a lot of hard to find drums, in fact, I sent him a message looking for a matching 14x14 ft. Maybe one will show up soon

Yes I did Matt. I was looking everywhere and they both popped up on eBay at the same time. But yes, Percussionking is where I purchased them from. The snare was a little high in price but no one else...

This is also true.. The best in the business!

Your idea sounds like it would do what your intending it to do but I'm not sure how budget friendly that would be. But then again, I'm not sure how much automotive insulation cost. Don't forget to...
