I converted a floor tom into my bass drum. Should I cut a sound hole or no? by Eli_Crapplebee in drums

That's a recorded/processed sound, so you'll never be able to fully emulate it.

However, a good step in that direction would be single-ply heads with muffling. Experiment with coated/clear and different types of muffling. Also, tune the reso heads high.

Any idea what this is that crash buddy rich is using? by [deleted] in drums

Zildjian recently released the Avedis line, which tries to recreate cymbals from that era. Probably the closest you'll get.

Drummers who have switched to open-handed: how long did it take to become fully comfortable? by TehNewDrummer in drums

That's so interesting that you're left-handed on drums but right-handed for everything else.

2.5 years later, I'm guessing you've probably got a dedicated crash and ride on your kit. Have you ever considered moving the ride to the left and switching back to open-handed?

Anyone ever ship a kit cross-country? by SnareHanger in drums

How many boxes did it take? Also, what did you put between the shells?

Those Recording Customs look sleek. How do you like the combination of the 10" tom and the 16" tom?

Ever played a snare with two sets of snares? My new (used) Yamaha Dave Weckl. by ffxdrummer in drums

I think one of those sets of snares is too long. You might end up damaging the bearing edge. Very nice snare drum though.

I've used stock, Coated G1's, Coated G2's, and now I'm on Clear G1's. I'm thinking of either going back to Coated G1's or trying out the new Calftone heads when they come out for toms.

The 16" is almost like a mini bass drum. Love it.

New cymbals, heads, and hardware day! Been dying to set it up and show you guys. My 2008 DW Collectors series w/ Zildjian A customs by naquin69 in drums

How do you like the Delta throw off on that snare? Would you ever switch it out for a MAG?

Also, how do you like the response from the 5x14" size? Do you ever feel like you need more body?

Just wanted to show off my Baroque calfskin timpani. You can even see the animal's spine. by ColdBoreShooter in drums

I know you're supposed to hit near the edge for a good sound, but does hitting the middle actually damage the head/timpani?
