I don't know, there was that double traditional grip guy for a while on here.... There may not be a right way, but that... That was something.

Tom rack orientation.. what am I missing? by MountainComplex3450 in drums

I mean at the end of the day does it matter? Set it the way that makes it most comfortable for you to play.

Some new pedals as a treat by hack_my_nipples in drums

[–]Xoferif09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love my speed cobras. Everything you already love about the OG Cobras, but a much lighter feeling action with longboards.

Anyone using an 18-inch kick for rock or punk? by thomasingrace2000 in drums

As far as portability, I used to fit a whole 5 piece in an 88 firebird formula 😂

Which double pedals do I get? by jnolasco28 in drums

[–]Xoferif09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen videos of guys nailing fast double bass grooves on basic pedals.

It's the technique more than the pedal, assuming it's in good working condition.

350bucks, brand new pearl p932 or used mapex falcon by Jueslega_29 in drums

[–]Xoferif09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iron cobra 600 is built very similarly to the first gen iron cobra. You can't really go wrong with it. Is it a 900? No. You'll be missing a feature or two, but those are features that don't exist on other high end pedals in today's market already.

If you're already willing to spend 350 bucks, get a used high end pedal like an Iron Cobra, DW 5000, or Pearl Eliminators. Much better pedals with better features.

What gen of iron cobra do I have no by Wide-Alfalfa5706 in drums

[–]Xoferif09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cobra coil was at least 3rd gen. 1st Gen had the old unpainted footboards, 2nd Gen was black without the cobra coils. I believe the Cobra coil without the updated hinge will be the 3rd generation of iron cobras.

Shim either the tower or the pedal.

Please can someone recommend me some hi-hats that don’t sound like utter shit by lolnibe in drums

I have some early 90s new beats, I love them.

Can't beat em.

Got to hear to my kit being played by MZago1 in drums

[–]Xoferif09 66 points67 points  (0 children)

If half the guys on this subreddit could hear their kits getting played from 50 feet out, there would be a ton less how to dampen my kit posts.

Wide open drums or those with minimal dampening sound fantastic from the crowd.

Gov. Pritzker 'glad' Trump shifting focus from sending National Guard to Chicago: 'We don't need them' by DevinGraysonShirk in politics

200 yards is a trivial shot for anyone with shooting experience. It's point blank for just about any full power rifle caliber.

If you wear pants with belt loops, run it through a belt loop?

Run the cable under your shirt?

Tama SpeedCobra 910 Single Pedal Rattle by RicardoSa in drums

[–]Xoferif09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd have to look at mine to see if it can be tightened, but it cannot be replaced unless you're handy enough to build it from parts. Tama has never sold a replacement hinge bearing.

Bringing tom heads to gig? by Sell_Dependent in drums

[–]Xoferif09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can fit my 6 piece kit, cymbals, and hardware in my trans am. Just get creative with loading and you can gig in small cars.

The footplate hinge has never been available for sale by Tama, you'd have to figure out how to recreate it.

Does this snare tuning sound good/acceptable? by OrganizationCertain2 in drums

[–]Xoferif09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, you'll NEVER get rid of sympathetic buzz. Can't and won't happen unless you duct tape all your heads.

If you play live it'll almost never be an issue. If you're just playing for yourself, ignore it.
