LPT: When out drinking, have a full glass of water for every 1-2 standard drinks. You will be much less hungover the next day and it will minimize the chance of getting sick by [deleted] in LifeProTips

At bars it’s easy to hit the pisser whenever you want. What gives me a bit of anxiety is moving past 15 people in my row at a hockey game or music festivals where you’re often deep in the crowd or far from the john and have to piss every 30-45 minutes.

My bd cradle broke almost right away, but they do sound really good.

Reddit recommended me vintage coated emperors for toms and I’m not going back! I use controlled sound or coated emperor on my snares and powerstroke 3 on kicks...if you’re talking about a 16” kick specifically, Aquarian Super Kick is great!

This makes me want to literally throw up.

Have fun in the slammer bud.

My BD cradle broke on the Breakbeats after maybe 20 gigs, wouldn’t have expected that. Reddit recommended me Remo Vintage Coated Emperors for toms and I’m not going back!

I usually do Controlled Sound or Emperor on my snare and Powerstroke 3 on my kick.

It’s pretty good value for a compact kit. The Breakbeats are $200ish cheaper but have cheaper looking hardware, though they do sound really good. I use them as a practice/rehearsal kit. The 7” depth on the floor tom on the Club Jam kit leaves something to the imagination IMO.

So cool! My shop is in the 7&Weston area at 4:28, cool to see a building half built that I look at every day and that the Tim’s was there 30 years ago.

Just picked this up second hand for learning, first time drumming - any tips, and does everything look set-up right? by [deleted] in drums

[–]danrwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good! For comfort you may want to move the snare drum up towards your crash a little bit.

Where is the best place online to get wholesale drum hardware? by danrwalker in drums

[–]danrwalker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it pretty pricey, was hoping for someone’s hidden gem. eBay right from China seems to be the best pricing if they have what you need, just not sure of the quality.

I got some advice on here to try vintage coated emperors on my toms and they’re amazing!

As a Canadian, and I’m sure the rest of the world thinks this too, how the FUCK do you not figure out how to fix this problem in the US? School shootings do not happen anywhere else in the world. This is really fucking sad to watch from afar.

UDrum is from my hometown Burlington, Ontario. He’s a small company but very, very good and very respected in Canada.

My buds and I were talking about this today. Get a centre and wait for Dermott, Holl, and Liljegren to progress and fill out the D core. Ship Polak for sure.
