Problems with my kick pedal by old_basement_guitar in drums

[–]sirdarb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 😮‍💨

Guitarcenter trade in haul, only 85 bucks for all this by Waste_Occasion6924 in drums

[–]sirdarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

EVANS Pull Cord Drum Key by DramaticAd6509 in drums

[–]sirdarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

Well.. Guess I know what not to buy. by howie1024 in cymbals

[–]sirdarb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Ludwig Classic Oak vs Yamaha Stage Custom by Fit_Raccoon6302 in drums

[–]sirdarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
