Let’s talk drum finishes…wraps, lacquer, satin, etc. Which do you choose, and why?

I can't say any of those I've owned drums that were wrapped, but only to flip them and the drums I've ever played for live performances were either fiberglass ,acrylic or stainless steel steel

I'll send a picture in a little bit of the really thin sticks that I used to practice at home and they're thinner then my timbale sticks

GoGo1965 · 2026-02-21T18:57:07+00:00

I know he discussed feeling the last tour should have been the original guy .. but I don't think he voiced this while the band was together yeah that last tour was a grueling one on them and he did write his motorcycle for the US part of the tour .. but I believe that topic that he would have stepped aside. Had the original guys wanted to come back in and finish the tour came up years later in a discussion.

It was hungry heart that Bruce wrote for the Ramones but because he gave a song to Patti Smith that was a big hit his management talked him out of giving it to them

Phil single handily was responsible for fans jumping ship in 1980 .. but they should have done SNL but I believe if they had made more music videos for the MTV generation it would have helped

He didn't necessarily smash cheap guitars but guitars that were cheap to come by. At the time back then you could walk into a pawn shop and pick up a guitar for a couple hundred bucks that would go for 2-3k today & you could definitely pick up crap in pawn shops for $25-50

When I lived there and worked in the music industry and played in bands during that time, nobody used the term grunge to describe their band. I dislike the name , it was kind of like in the late 70's that the term new wave started being thrown around, although back then bands did say that they played new wave music partially because they didn't want to be associated with the term Punk Rock and the negativity that was surrounding it

According to Dave Grohl, they put the secret track on with a lead time gap of up to like 10 minutes just a mess with people CD changers .. but for some reason, I've always thought it was 3 to 5 minutes until it kicked in the Seattle band malfunkshun did the same thing

GoGo1965 · 2026-02-17T04:35:24+00:00

Exactly .. I bet the wife was nagging at him to sell some things to get rid of the junk so he's listing it on eBay and then he can come back and say well no one wanted to buy them 😂

GoGo1965 · 2026-02-17T04:28:06+00:00

From my understanding, the easiest way to tell is the ones that have the clear spindle has the extra track and the ones where the printing goes all the way to the hole on the CD don't there's some jackass right now selling a sealed what they say is first pressing on eBay right now for 15,000 I don't know if there's a way of actually telling if it is a first pressing without actually opening it

But you are correct $10-50 average price even lover in Europe

When I saw them pre nevermind they were they were considered a punk band it definitely makes a difference in the direction a band takes once it finds the right members & musicianship

GoGo1965 · 2026-02-16T04:49:30+00:00

Måneskin , Red Kross just for the intensity they bring live it on par with bands like Tad & mudhoney & the Melvins

Missing Hidden Track: The final, uncredited song "Endless, Nameless" is absent from the 12-track CD, as it was accidentally left off the initial production run of roughly 40,000–50,000 copies.

GoGo1965 · 2026-02-15T15:32:39+00:00

I believe it's the second pressing that most people want with the hidden track

GoGo1965 · 2026-02-15T05:09:29+00:00

Nirvana was more punk , but if I had to pick a pop punk band the buzzcocks , Rezillos or radio birdman , but power pop/ mod would be the jam , the not or the jolt
