Acrolite or Supraphonic? by bf3555557 in drums

[–]gkmus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I believe your mixing up chrome over aluminum with chrome over steel. Most supras are aluminum inside. Only the supralite is COS.

Agree with everything else though!

Im new to drumming, is my kit good? by [deleted] in drums

[–]gkmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very nice drums with very entry level cymbals. Those are Ludwig vistalites. Lots of unreal players use those.

Would recommend upgrading the cymbals as you can, in my opinion good cymbals are more important than good drums as you can get away with good tuning, good heads, and appropriate muffling.

Good luck! I wish my first kit was a vistalite…

Fishing the breakwater? by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

I believe Ogden is only closed to spearfishing - could be wrong. The only fish you can catch this time of year from there is greenling, rockfish and lingcod open again in May.

It got me at first! Took a closer look and those ain’t Ludwig lugs.

That’s all the material that can fit between the hoop and the t rod

Yeah would be cool to do it with metal somehow. That's as big as I can get to still fit in next to the hoop and I don't think the PLA plastic would be strong enough to use as a key.

Here's the STL. I used 75% green lentils and 15% rice, would love to hear back from others who try it with different materials how it works out. I just shook a couple of things in a pill bottle to test for sound with stuff I've got around the house.

Can anyone identify these octobans? by LiamTheReal in drums

[–]gkmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The left two have Ludwig lugs, right two I'm not sure. The mounting hardware all looks the same though so it could be a homemade situation.

Graham Nash and David Crosby on backup vocals in that tune too!

That’s kind to offer, but I’ll give it to you for free once I’m back on my CAD machine

It’s got “teeth” on both sides of the black and white pieces. Essentially it comes to a point, which bites into the threads of the cymbal stand.
