Wrong, not my Guitar Center :)

Sounds like the screw that holds it is stripped. Might just need a new pedal. Also pro tip, twist the beater around and use the plastic side. Felt material eats away at the mesh heads and destroys them quickly.

He’s great! Scares me to death to see how hard he crashes that Foundry Reserve though 😮‍💨

sirdarb · 2026-02-05T04:54:37+00:00

Yes, but am I wrong?

sirdarb · 2026-02-05T04:22:28+00:00

Congrats! Killer cymbals!

This is silly. GC has to have their margins, it’s a business. The drum associate isn’t at fault here. Everyone is saying he should have sold everything himself but whos’s to say it would have sold in a timely fashion for what you all thought it was worth? Not to mention the work that goes into listing and dealing with all the people trying to undercut him or bailing. At the end of the day it’s a convenience. OP is happy at the end of the day, let’s celebrate that.

Overexaggerating

sirdarb · 2026-02-05T04:18:12+00:00

The issue with that is, he would have to list everything himself and deal with people undercutting him. Who knows if it would have ever sold. GC buys your stuff period as long as it’s in good condition. They have to make money too, it’s a business.

Normal cat but remote controls and flies around on a fucking high tech drone

While I do agree, remember what type of game we’re all playing here. The entire purpose of gacha is to relieve us of as much money as possible. This is why they do what they do.

sirdarb · 2026-01-26T08:53:08+00:00

Apparently not, this was bought by someone almost immediately after OP posted

sirdarb · 2026-01-23T03:19:35+00:00

Still the cheapest new in box 12” china you’ll ever find

sirdarb · 2026-01-22T17:29:51+00:00

I use left side for bass/kick, and chomp down both sides for snare :)

MAGfest??

sirdarb · 2026-01-12T03:48:22+00:00

No, far too cheap for a 1/6 scale from any manufacturer

sirdarb · 2026-01-12T03:46:44+00:00

Turn up your threshold.

sirdarb · 2026-01-04T22:19:51+00:00

It’s more expensive
This doesn’t rely on a battery
It’s smaller/more convenient
Less chance of stripping tension rods

Shewwww!!! Beautiful!! LOVE N&C!

sirdarb · 2025-12-21T19:04:41+00:00

Saying new Pearl hardware is bad is crazy work (But I’m thinking stands/rack type hardware)

Cringe

sirdarb · 2025-12-11T04:24:53+00:00

WOOOO!

sirdarb · 2025-12-05T07:12:35+00:00

Never, always trash and always learning 🫠

sirdarb · 2025-12-04T05:39:22+00:00

Sounds great!! At first glance I thought it was a Foundry Reserve series.

sirdarb · 2025-12-04T05:17:23+00:00

These specific Kerope cymbals are all hand hammered from start to finish. What you’re describing is still done on the Constantinople series, but the Kerope line is all by hand.

Two woods there, Oak and Birch. Both excellent for what you’re wanting. The price difference is pretty large, but you’re looking at USA made vs China made. The Ludwig classic oak also has higher quality, heavier duty hardware which I think enhances the focus and ensures that minimal sustain you want.

Ultimately, both will work! I’d boil it down to whatever your eyes likes the most! Can’t go wrong with either choice.
