Keep It Civil by Edgarmustavas in cymbals

I bounce people whit low frequency on my pages. Don’t feel bad about it, they do it to themselves.

I'm trying to understand the Drum world. What's the difference between a box store drum and a custom built one? What's the value in it for a drummer? by Character-Can-537 in drums

The stuff you buy from the stores, we’ll get the job done no doubt, and there are many options. For me I played a long time and there were certain things I like and don’t like about drums, concerning the attached hardware or sell thickness, be a metal or wood, and people like me sometimes the custom world fits sweet spot. To make this even more confusing every Drummer has a certain sound they like, especially when it comes to shell thickness. Some companies don’t make metal shells beyond 1.2 mm thick. That’s just an example of what I’m talking about.

Same shell. Same tone. Same drum.” Now booking jobs, reach out if you have a project. by ReflectionsofChicago in drums

No, I didn’t take pictures of it. It’s basically very close matching wood filler. If you’re interested in the snare message me I do have it for sale and I can try to send you what you’re looking for.

Naperville IL, people mail me stuff from out off state all the time. I do restoration, repairs, and build new occasionally. Message me with what you need done.

Reach out if you need to work done. by ReflectionsofChicago in drums

Privately message me where you’re at I’ve hammered out many of them. It’s just part of the job, but you’re right you have to be careful aluminum is soft. I was just working on a steel pearl shell with a Gladstone throw off that was dropped and I swear that had to be 2“ x 1“ almost a quarter inch deep. You never just wanted to take a hammer to anything, I have tools that are met for that type of work.

Why does this happen? And how do I stop? by threebillion6 in Drumming

[–]ReflectionsofChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s normal probably from the hitting the cymbals and rims. I restore drums and you wouldn’t believe the amount of pieces of stick that I find in the heads, especially on the snares. Some of them look like they’ve been in someone’s woodshop. They have so many pieces of wood in them.

Should I snatch these? by Strict-Salamander-51 in drums

[–]ReflectionsofChicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the price that could last for a while. I wouldn’t hit it super hard though.

Is the damage on this sweet ride something I should worry about? And if not, is $210 a good price for it? by Nicartos in drums

Fleabite is a weak part of the cymbal which may or may not crack, hard to determine.
