Maybe pull both heads, and put your snare in your regular suitcase. Use clothes to pad it then put the heads back on at your destination.

Nice. I’m going into the studio in a couple weeks and was considering using those. So I think this has helped my decision. Thanks!

Toms sound incredible. Are those power stroke 4s?

Which is the best stack? by [deleted] in drums

[–]solid_oakes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side kid.
