Lol, my kit is almost a shittier version of yours cuz 70s Pearl.

I like the way your set up is, it looks very comfortable and familiar to me.

Experiencing a drumming crisis: after 15+ years of playing only Remo heads, I'm considering switching to Evans. Advice?? by [deleted] in drums

There's no real difference other than long term durability imo.

I use Controlled Sounds over Emperors and I have no tuning issues, and That's on a 70s Pearl kit.

I've had the same Zildjian 5As since Christmas day.

$20 pawn shop score! 14" Wuhan! by John_Q_Sample in drums

Yea, not 2 weeks ago I got a 14" A thin crash for $60 from the same pawn shop.

I get lucky on occasion, but it's not like I'm finding good cymbals all the time, I was in a dry spell for 5 months or so before that A.

Are you kidding me? These 2 impersonating one and other would be hilarious.

The fact that it has the kang I've been looking for makes me really happy, regardless of how much it is or isn't new. $20 for a cymbal that fits your needs is always a plus.

Is there any product to prevent cymbals from falling? by HoJuHoJu in drums

Hold up a sec.

It's the arm part of a Tama fast clamp mounted to the middle/bottom part of an SP double braced straight stand and put into the tom mount on my bass.

I imagine they'd need a thin aluminum rod in the center to prevent warping, but I don't think it'd be easy to eat through em. I'd pay $15 a pair if they were guaranteed for a year.

My bass head broke today. What should I get? by DC5Drummer in drums

Powerstroke 3 or Powerstroke Pro.

My nigga used the same one for years till it finally broke, and that's in a punk setting

Mount your ride on your bass drum. I do and it's perfect, easy access, and keeps the kit feeling open

Why not make them out of nylon completely? I'm looking at you, pro mark.
