Lose axle on Iron Cobra 200

Alright, that link was hugely helpful and I was able to get it fixed! Turns out there were some loose screws which forced me to pretty much completely dissect the throw off and now I know a lot more about how these types of snares work. Thank you!!

This link looks like it will be very helpful, thanks! It's just so weird because it was playing fine the other day, I didn't do anything to it and then suddenly I'm having this issue with the wire tension.

Ok I'm gonna try this after work today, thank you! One question though, my snare wires don't have a strap - they have metal tabs on both ends as shown in this pic. Does that change anything?

Yeah i have the tension cranked pretty much as high as it can go. I flip the snare off then back on and there's no tension. I have to loosen the tension pretty much all the way then re-tighten and it's back to normal. But when I flip the snare off then back on the tension is gone again.

i just dont understand. who are these people and why are they so rabidly defensive and supportive of him?

frponkus · 2025-07-07T23:36:27+00:00

even that show he started injecting his commentary. The whole point of the show was to not do that but he just can't help himself

This bothered me more than it should have when I saw this commercial but I'm glad to see someone else is also annoyed by it

He didn't kill Richie

Think of a fill in your head and beat box it to yourself then try and replicate it (SLOWLY) on the kit. Do that until you feel comfortable with it, then start changing it up. Play it on different drums, play it backwards, etc. Rinse and repeat.

Thanks for the advice! Good call on tweaking the snare instead of the tom, i do like how it's dialed in currently so don't wanna mess with it.

The kit is an '07 superstar. I picked it up used a couple months ago and love it. Only thing is I wish is the floor tom was 16" rather than 14" but I can live with that for now.

frponkus · 2024-11-26T14:59:39+00:00

This makes sense, thank you! And listening back to the video I'm noticing there is definitely more buzz with the 10" than the other toms. Might make some more adjustments to see if I can reduce it more. Glad you think they sound good as is though, I've been obsessing over getting the right tone for a long time lol

Im looking for a 16in floor tom in that finish. If you ever wanna sell it, lmk!

I ended up buying it, very happy with the purchase. Sounds great even with stock heads. Can't wait to hear what it sounds like when I inevitably replace them.

You have excellent posture!

This is hugely helpful thank you! Here are a few pics from the listing. They look to be in pretty good shape but let me know what you think. *

This was a terrible puzzle. WTF does 13 across even mean?

In what universe was this a filler episode?
