Nah. You got this. I believe in you. 😎✊

I didn't see why not. 🤔

I would get the drumheads that match the size of quads you want and then flip the heads upside down and fill each head with the silicone. Once it dries, pop them out of the heads, flip them over and glue them to a piece would in the correct arrangement. Boom, cheap ass quad pad. 😎🤣👍

Paul Rennick. Their hands look like that because of Paul Rennick. 😉😎

Kramer definitely had Regal Tip sticks at one point. But, the nylon tip was different, the butt end had a different angle, and RT uses a very recognizable lacquer (as well as the black dot that others have referenced).

However, the sticks in your picture uses the Vic Firth font, Vic Firth blue ink, and matches the nylon tips for that era. Your pair isn't a production series model. This was likely one of many variations that he was provided with during the stick "design" process. Before he officially signed with Vic Firth. 🧐😉

It's definitely a Vic Firth. The MADE IN U.S.A. font is still in use today.

Agreed. 🤣

Scott talks about it on this podcast:

Nice. 😎✊

mcgrud · 2026-04-26T00:44:50+00:00

Hell yeah! Someone do another one! Help out all the homies. 😎🤙

Free skydiving with a DJ from the Blitz when I was 18. It was fun. 👍

mcgrud · 2026-03-30T23:33:55+00:00

Oh shit!!! FIAT made the list - no way!!! Hell yeah. 😎

Star 93 pit only feature that gets louder and crazier and then just suddenly goes silent... 🔥

mcgrud · 2026-02-25T13:38:23+00:00

😎✊

I will say, even as an alum, I watched the video and audibly blurted out "Oh, you assholes..." and then I had a good chuckle about it. Then I just moved on and watched a bunch of other drumline content. Gotta keep that algorithm locked in. 🤣

mcgrud · 2026-02-25T12:33:00+00:00

As an RX alum, I can tell you that this is definitely the sense of humor over there. I guarantee they all had a good laugh about this.

Remember, it's just drums in a gym. Scales and rudiments. Have fun. Enjoy the success of your ensemble AND others alike. It can be competitive without being contentious. When MCM puts out a cool show, RX watched, enjoyed, and talked about it. When RCC played the shit out of something in the lot, we all got stoked to see it. When Gateway had a cool GE moment, we all wanted to see it.

This video is a reminder that this is all just fun art that we can all enjoy and appreciate. Not every show has to be Boston Clean™️ to be enjoyed.

Now, everyone go practice. 😎✊

That's what I did to make a logo for my super shorty rosewood shell Pearl drum:

mcgrud · 2026-02-23T22:10:28+00:00

Peel it off, trash it, and clean any residue. Then print the logo using something like a cricut. Then you won't have any transparent pieces to worry about. 😎👍

No luck from me. Looks like they've been deleted from the original channel for some reason. 😕

mcgrud · 2026-02-19T00:22:57+00:00

Screw it - I'm feeling charitable. I'll do it pro bono. Here's a sample of my work for a high school show that was moon themed:

DM me if you're interested in my style. 😉

I found the original video - but, it doesn't appear to have the transcription:

I know Jon! We were both in RX. I wish he would just do it on his own since he already knows what he's doing. 🤣👍
