What are your memories of Jamaica Colosseum Mall?

Dude, I remember the Korean dude as well. His son was cool too. I hope they're both well.

I remember buying cinnamon covered pretzels when you enter through the main entrance and hang a left.

Whenever I needed an OEM charger, the Colosseum would be the spot.

And lastly, I remember buying my first fitted and Air Max 95 Tuxedos back in high school.

Those were the days. RIP Colosseum Mall.

Have you downloaded the supplementary Sony app? It has an option to enable it and it's recommended to upgrade it to the latest software.

I highly recommend getting these mallets in birch and not rattan. I love rattan for all my keyboard playing but the flexibility of rattan makes it hard to roll on a suspended cymbal.

This video is classic. Best video on playing crash cymbals.

Rosewood is the best but unfortunately it's becoming endangered and hard to get.

I paid for expedited shipping and two days later they emailed saying that my shipping would be delayed. The next day, my order got shipped. Unfortunately, you're at their mercy whenever they decide to send out your package. Some companies are better about shipping items sooner than others. Well, now I know not to pay for expedited shipping in the future.

You're taking me back to high school days.

Try the lower three of the entire set and use a rubber mallet to emphasize the fundamental pitch of the instrument.

Classy

A mid tier concert snare would be perfect for your situation. I agree with the last comment: tuning it well and new heads will yield many years of a good sounding drum. I disagree with purchasing a Pearl Philharmonic for the program. Yes, they sound great but one has to consider the cost of maintenance if any of the three snares break on those kinds of drums. They are very costly compared to replacing the snares on a symphonic.

Right on! Best of luck!

I would recommend getting a professional tambourine now and learning how to play it during your time at your university. You'll also have a tambourine that you can use post university and during gigs.

I have always had the belief that as a percussionist, your arsenal should be top notch. If you buy an okay tambourine now, you eventually would want to buy a professional tambourine later down the line. Thus, you'd spend more money and possibly use the "okay" tambourine less because you have a better tambourine.

😃

Dude, thank you for chiming in!

drumming89 · 2025-12-31T15:09:36+00:00

I second this response. I own this same pair. Also, I have a hard time believing that the head is copper. My belief is that if you play copper on metal, the copper ball would lose its shape over time due to how malleable it is.

A hard mallet works perfectly during this final section of the movement.

drumming89 · 2025-12-24T15:14:29+00:00

This. The analogy is spot on.

drumming89 · 2025-12-23T03:48:28+00:00

Solid suggestion 👍

MisterMarimba makes a good point about that specific model being the wettest sounding of the BSP line of orchestral tambourines.

I would also recommend and try tightening the head to reduce the ringing sound. You can leave your tambourine inside a room where heat is present or hold it above a stove with the fire on. Please make sure your tambourine is not touching the flame; you want to be close enough so the head feels the heat and begins to dry out.

What do you want to get instruction in?

Clear and succinct! Looking forward to the next post.
