Probably a silly question but just wanted to check if any UK buyers are familiar with this site? Getting my first set of proper cymbals there but wanna be sure.

Im not sure if i should add more cymbals since theres not a lot of space (couldn’t get a good pic and yes im gonna change the cymbals soon😭)

Back in the day, I started using Vic Firth Extreme 5A sticks to get an extra half inch of length, it makes such a huge difference. I've tried regular length sticks since then and it just isn't the same, they're not enjoyable at all. I can't go back lol

Title pretty much says it all. Seems like there’s a huge price gap from the big name companies and the “Amazon” companies. Hoping to get some suggestions for a decent throne that doesn’t break the bank.

I am new to drums and I only have a practice pad at home. What should I start with on the pad? Even better if it's something fun that will motivate me to pick it up more often. Thanks

Could use some thoughts! Nothing gets my heart rate up and the sweat flowing like a great drum session, be it on stage or in the studio; it's my primary form of exercise, for sure, LOL. On the days when I'm off I need to keep things quiet around the house (very young kids and all) and was curious what any other workout-minded drummers use to get that fix without hitting the full kit. I've tried the mesh heads/low-volume cymbals but that doesn't quite do it. I haven't yet tried a practice pad kit but I'm wondering if that might work...anyone in a similar position? I'm sure I'll get feedback about how working out should happen off the kit, but believe me when I say that I've tried that and after years I've learned that drumming is what causes my body to respond the best in this regard. Any thoughts would be helpful!

Just got my first one ever! It reminds me of what Gilmour said about the strat. It gets out of the way and expresses what you are feeling. It really seems to become an extension of myself. Glad I finally got one.

I saw a video of Stewart Copeland with his green hi-hats and wondered how they’re produced, are they dyed? Do they affect the sound)

Currently use my KZ S10 pro IEM’s with Comply foam tips while just practicing on my own. Wondering if the Vic Firth SIH2 isolation headphones would provide more/better protection. Or use both together? Already have tinnitus from my younger yrs without any protection. Smarter nowadays and trying to prevent it from getting worse. Anybody have any experience they can share - are IEMs with foam tips just as good as the Vic’s? Thanks

Hi everyone I got a cowbell and this mount for Christmas but I’m unsure where to actually place it let alone where it can even attach. I’ve seen most on bass drums and some mounted to the side of a snare?

Cooking Indian sloppy joes and got bored watching it. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to cooking without drumming.

I hope this is allowed. I want to mark on the floor where each part of the kit goes (cymbal stands, toms, etc.). I was thinking using tape to tape around each leg, but I don't think it would work as I have carpet flooring. I'm looking for solutions to this problem, so when I set up my kit, or get a new one, everything is exactly how I like it. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm a drummer trying to achieve a specific accompaniment setup but I don't know what gear I need/if it's possible.

I want to be able to trigger loops & stems with midi pads.

Picture you have 3 layers of stems. Bass, Mid, Hi. The stems are created in such a way the they are guaranteed to sound decent together.

Aside from the initial loading of stems I want the toggling and triggering of stems and to be done entirely via drum pads, but have no risk of triggering at an illogical loop position.

Is such a setup possible? Basically I want to play my drums and trigger loops & layers that are predetermined to sound good, but I am sorta arranging the loops on the fly. Ideally this is done with hardware but I will entertain the idea of a laptop.

I hope this makes sense. I guess I want something like a DJ system with a drum interface. Is this possible?

I found a used 18" K Dark Thin listed about 300 miles away got myself a Christmas gift. Prixed at $235 it was a bargain and when I finally unpacked it, it looked almost mint! No fingerprints, no sign of it ever being played att all!

This is one of the few models I'd buy unheard and unseen without hesitating because Zildjian has these down and I've never heard a bad one.
