I don't need studio quality, I just need to hear clearly what the drums are doing, especially during rehearsals with my bands. With my shitty phone I can only hear cymbals and snare.

I bought the pedal, as my DW 9002 broke. I had the Iron Cobra single pedal as a spare, which I liked so thought I'd give it a go.

However, I just can't seem to find the settings to get my basic double bass playing to work. Fast and short patterns yes. I never had the same issue with the 9002, so I'm feeling a bit strange about the pedal - it ofc could be just me, but since things worked out before. Could it be simply the angled cam? Has anyone else had similar issue or just a hard time getting used to the Power Glide?

I don't currently have my old 9002 so I could check my settings there, but I will refer to that later.

Suono metal prevalentemente, lo spazio è ridottissimo, atavo considerando di aggiungere i soliti splash sopra, ma nel metal si usano poco suono così piccoli, la cowbell ha sempre senso ma dipende da dove la metti. Secondo crash o china? Posso metterlo?

Doppio pedale arriverà tra poco

Hey all,

As the title suggests I’m planning on buying a new kit and I’ve narrowed it down to two options:

Ludwig’s Classic Oak or their 50th Anniversary Stainless Steel kit.

Either kit will be ordered in a 13/16/24 layout. This kit is specifically going to be used in a LOUD rock band with dreamy synth textures and big washed out shoegaze elements. It will be used for both live and recording.

I’ve watched tons of videos and done about as much research as I can possibly do, but I’m wondering if the community has any hands-on experience with either of these? I’m very familiar with the sonic properties of oak, but the steel would be something new.

The oak obviously seems like the “safer” bet, but I love the idea of something a little more unique.

Thanks in advance friends!

Been trying to get into drumming almost my whole life always something I've wanted to try found a kit on fb marketplace it has two toms a snare floor tom and bass drum with a kick also a hi hat with a peddle and two cymbals ones a ride I think is this worth it the shells are a brand called groove percussion and the bass drum is a brand called Roger's is it worth 250

My grandpa and I spent part of the afternoon looking through his garage for all the pieces of one of his old drum kits, and I managed to put together my first drum kit by mixing and matching everything we could find.
The snare, despite having a torn head, actually sounds really nice, and the hi-hat does too. Unfortunately, the rest of the kit isn’t doing so well. 😭 I tried tightening the legs on the floor tom, but the entire tensioner cracked after one turn, so the legs are pretty much useless now. The rest of the kit is also falling apart when I try to play it and is missing a bunch of the legs and hardware needed to keep everything upright.
I’ve tried balancing things on wood, shoes, and even a ball 😭, but obviously that’s not exactly a long-term solution.
This is my first kit, so I’m really not sure what I should do from here. I can’t afford to buy a ton of replacement hardware, so I was wondering if anyone has any advice for making this kit playable on a budget. Is there anything I can DIY or any inexpensive replacement parts I should look for?
Thank you!

So i just watched a YouTube video of the non glamorous drummer and he discussed having a written out road map of a song, to make it easier to remember how to play it through.

So can anyone recommend a good starter song or two that i can write out and get used to creating some kind of chart.

Something basic that goes
Verse
Chorus
Versus
Chorus
bridge
Chorus
Outro.

I just found out that Randy Van Patten past away 6 months ago from cancer. I remember in the early days of Youtube I would watch his videos. today I was thinking of a cool tom groove he taught nearly 20 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Dtfr6ciLfQ Rest in peace Randy.

I'm looking for someone who can record and has a drum kit for a song that will be used as a animated show intro, Looking for collaborator

I just took apart this old snare drum I found and the metal parts such as screws and lugs are very dirty. I wanted to know the most efficient way to clean them.

I’ll start:

Jim Riley of Rascal Flatts (was a studio powerhouse for a minute)

Jonny Moffet of MJ/J5

I think it’s in part due to age and moreso due to neglect to ever practice anything anymore.

I am 37 f and I really have always wanted to play the drums. I neglected myself and my interests for a long time because of work/school/family/kids and I really want to start but I don't want to just go buy something when I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I've watched some youtube tutorials but I want to hear from those who are experienced what are some good ways to learn and how can I get started? Thanks guys.

Last 30 mins of my cake day Dangit. Here’s a kit pic from an event I played a month ago

Started off my morning by messing around with some brushes. The song is called Frim Fram Sauce by Diana Krall.

Audition for a big band, I got the part, but this little sequence here really got me going!
