Been having triggering issues for the past few months, this is a new drumset (6 months). Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Its making it very difficult to play

Wondering about this kit. Is it a good second hand price. Is there any interesting things about it? Just want some general information to make a decision about buying it.

If anyone can help with some information. That would be highly appreciated 🙏

Thanks

Do singer-songwriter artists such as Lizzy McAlpine get to choose what musicians record her songs and go on your with her? For example, if my friend were to blow up on social media and end up creating a career from it, could they say that they want me to play drumset on their recordings and on tour? Or would a producer push for someone more skilled/known?

Hi all,

In your opinion is it truly 290 BPM?

The empty stand is gonna go to a 15 inch zildjian crash, there is currently 13 inch Zildjian planetZ hi hats, matching 16 inch crash, matching 20 inch ride (will be replaced with the heaviest earth ride i can find), an old ass 15 inch ufip crash that my school gave me because it was cracked (i cut it so much to the point where it looks like an e cymbal), and a no name 12 inch splash i use as my china because i cant afford a china. The heads i use are remo emperor black suedes, the snare has a ludwig medium head, the kick has factory heads, and the double kick pedal is an old tama accelerator.

I have three boom stands, the splash and ride are mounted on a yamaha rack i took from an e kit, with two yamaha boom stands (the nice ones)

The drum set itself is a 5 piece Black sparkle pdp mainstage.

I am in my college jazz band, and I was called up to be an honors jazz band with all the upperclassman. Now I started on this tune that was a little bit faster, but we took it under tempo. However, I was not lining up with him in the tempo was spotty. He then proceeds to throw a chair at me and call me a“ worthless friendless faggotless , piece of shit whose mommy left daddy when she found out he wasn’t Eugene O’Neill“ he also slapped me in the face. What do I do?

Hello All. You might remember my post a couple days ago about my get in gear award. Since then, I had a concert, which went well. Today, we did the awards and I am glad to announce I did not receive the “get in gear” award. It’s still an awful tradition that needs to be stopped.

Hey there, Latin-Grammy-nominated recording engineer/producer getting back into the game. Not looking for dough, just an excuse to dust off the gear and make some music. Happy to record/produce your entire band. Hit me up if interested. No catch. Thanks!

Kit is a 1984 Gretsch, snare is custom built, all Legado cyms - can you tell I’m ambidextrous?

I’m upgrading from my first baby drummer kit- setting it aside for gigging and I’m going to upgrade my home kit with a new (used) kit. I know I’m throwing a lot of kits out here but I’d love to hear positives or negatives on these or just find out if one of these kits is head and shoulders above the rest. I play mostly funky stuff and will be getting a 20” kick.

Catalina Club, Pearl Decade, Tama Superstar, PDP Concept Maple, Mapex Armory, or Sonor AQ2.

I’ve sat behind a Yamaha Stage Custom a few times and it didn’t sing for me. Any advice is appreciated!

I have an old Iron Cobra double pedal but it's missing the spikes or whatever keeps it in place. Searched all over the internet but can't find anything for sure. Does anyone know if there's either a part I can buy to use or a diy fix? The pedal holes shown in the picture are not threaded. Thanks!

I don't know if anyone would be able to help, but any advice is appreciated.

Went to Sam Ash (rip) and got a brand new Tama Stagestar kit. Ive never owned a kit, but I run concerts for a local venue and we finally decided to get one.

The box of hardware had been resealed by the staff. I asked if anything had been taken out, but I was told all the original items were in there and they had just opening it to show another customer.

I cam home to assemble the kit and noticed the spurs and the throne was missing. Not as concerned about the throne, but I have no idea where to get spurs for it. Further, would Tama's warrenty be able to replace these missing parts? Could the customer service sell me the parts (potentially discounted)?

I had no way to check in the store if these parts were missing, and Sam Ash obviously wont accept a return. Sam Ash did tell me that all new items purchased were still covered by all their manufacturers warranties. Would Tama be able to help?

If not, Ill just suck it up and get the parts.

Can someone recommend a drumpad (for use with sticks) that has at least 5 inputs, is sub-$200, and outputs midi (with accurate and preferably adjustable velocity data).

I’ve found a couple online that fit my needs, however they all have monsterous internal feature-sets with audio ins and outs and therefore are v expensive. Also open to used if people think that’s the way to go…
