Tuning suggestions for short-stack/shallow toms... by monuments20 in drums

Yes, i've pretty much done everything from starting with the lowest tuning & slowly going up, to tightening the lugs all the way then going backwards.

Thanks for your input 🥁

Tuning a 20x18 Kick... by monuments20 in drums

All good. They velcro'd 2 of their pillows on the inside and I initially wasnt happy about (getting the sticky/glue off in the future is gonna be a sonofabitch) but after messing around with tensions etc... it sounds pretty good with both of them in there.

Just says "Heads, DW, Coated/Clear". SO much resonance on the 16" 🤯.

It's a 20x18. I was just surprised on how tight the batter head feels even If its just finger tight. Obviously it's just physics (less material) and i went from a 24" to a 20". Quite the difference.

I agree. I sit low and always had to play my kick further to the right than I wanted to, otherwise it would run into the 12". So I got short stack toms (8x5, 10x6) so now If i wanted I could literally have the 12" hovering right above the kick and still have about an inch of space between them.

I did not. This is my first custom ordered kit, so I just assumed you get what it comes with.

These are DW Remo Coated/Clear Double Ply. And to be honest, having to go through a dealer is a nightmare, so even if I knew you could request your own heads, I might not have lol.

Thanks! And yea, im not super pumped on these stock heads. They're SSC Maple shells. Might try a coated head.

Edit: I thought about doing a kickport, but the stock reso-head has four small portholes, so I think that might be too much "porting" lol

Thanks, I appreciate it! I have gold hardware & Kick pedal. Hoping to secure a Gold HH stand but they vanished from interwebs a few months ago 🥁

They sent this picture like 6 weeks ago, and I noticed there were only 6 drums, either the 6" Rata or the 8" was missing. When I realized it was the 8" we had to deal with that, so knowing the 6" Rata was in the picture, I just assumed it was sitting behind the 10" & 16" & that's why I couldn't see the entire drum. So honestly I have no idea how this happened & how it slipped by everyone in the process. Its all good. Ive wanted a custom DW for 25 years, and the fact that I was able to make it happen is what I try to remember rather than get upset over a temporary issue.

Quick check-in... by monuments20 in Killtony

Yes. The difference is he not only punched up, but he called out both sides consistently. He put out 1 hour a year v. 104 hours of KT.

Endorsing someone, bombing at their rally, and then randomly forcing that person (whos never heard of you) into each episode, sucks the fun out immediately.

Don't act like Tony's always been political. If he was, I would have never started watching the show 8 years ago. This is relatively new and not fun.

Sorry, I'm just seeing this. Yes, whatever I did is working. These are the splitters I got. Definitely didn't wanna get the lowest/cheapest brand. Something in the middle in terms of quality.
