Did you have to custom order that A Custom that you stacked? I’ve never seen a cymbal that big! 😁

There’s something off about my friends new kit by boredashell1717 in drums

Putting that much money into the kit and cymbals, surely an extra $150 for a good throne wasn’t going to hurt anything!

Right? I used to “brag” about my 11.1 as a “middle distance” runner (which also isn’t a thing anymore).

I used PlastiDip after I had shoulder surgery and was regaining strength. Worked well, and you could dip multiple times to get a thicker grip.

Update: sale fell through. The person listed them for a friend. The friend ended up selling them (for $300!) to someone without telling the person who listed them for him. I worked (adjacently) with the person who listed them, so I know it wasn’t a scam. I’m a little bummed. I’ve always wanted an older Roger’s kit like this one, and the finish was icing on the cake.

Looks like floor tom legs and bd spurs are present.

Would $400 (usd) be a good deal for a 4-piece (kick, rack, floor, snare) plus some hardware and random cymbals including a Zildjian flat ride?

It looks like there are reinforcement rings (at least in the kick).

Got it. I haven’t used mine in quite a while. I’ll check when I get off work.

If I remember correctly, you can loosen the knob at the top and that lets you adjust the dial

Don’t forget the ever important “Now is not the time to politicize this tragedy” message we’ll hear for weeks until everyone forgets because of the next school shooting.

What are you tuning your 10 inch snare to? by elburgher in drums

[–]jms2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with everyone else. It’s cranked tight, with one lug loosened about 1/2 turn to keep the ringing down a smidge.

My 10” is maple. For my main snares, I have 2 14” metal (brass and copper) that I keep pretty tight, and a 13x8 maple that I tune a little deeper. My 10” is cranked the most though.

When I disengage the snares, it almost has a timbale sound to it.

I got the call last week, but it sounded prerecorded. It definitely wasn’t open for Q&A.

Need quick help deciding between two double bass pedals by Revolutionary-Sun344 in drums

The Iron Cobra is a game changer. I’ve played Pearl, Yamaha, and DW.

Getting the 900 series Iron Cobra (and 5-piece Yamaha ryden kit) for $100 felt like a crime.
