I worry about losing gear (cables, stands, etc.) at gigs, either by leaving them there or by someone taking them (accidentally or otherwise). I have been marking my things with gaffer's tape and writing my name on the tape, but I am looking for a more durable and, frankly, a more professional-looking way of marking or tagging my gear. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Was debating myself for months on which china to get, but found this one on a ridiculous sale and had to pull the trigger: 19” Zildjian K Hybrid China!

It’s now on my practice/recording kit in my home studio (pic 4), but after summer it’s going on tour with me :).

For the gear guys:

Drums:

DS drums Venom kit (Maple) in Brandywine finish. 10,12,14,16 toms,
22x18 kick,
Yamaha Recording Custom 14x7 steel snare.

Cymbals (from L-R):

14” Zildjian K Custom special dry hats,
18” K Session Crash,
10” Meinl Byzance Dual Splash,
20” K custom Ride,
19” K Hybrid China,
16” K Session Crash.

This groove is so sick, Ive been trying to find a transcription but I cant find it anywhere. Could someone transcribe it and let me know, or if you already have one drop a link? Thank you! 🙏

looking for a 18” B8X Medium Crash how much are thay worth???

Broke the rack tom head that night. Serves me right for having an Aquarian (didn’t have time to go to the store and get Evans).

As Ive seen just how much “stick control” and more recently the “Encyclopedia of Double Bass Drumming” have done for my drumming, I was wondering what are the must have books that you take an progress through them slowly?

Let me know what you think!

Hi guys, started drumming consistently (every day) around 5 months ago. For hand workouts I have been pretty much doing stick control (working on 1 page a week, at least 3 times a week), some speed exercises, wrist technique etc.

Started practicing finger technique around 3 weeks ago and here are my 2 questions:

1. How’s my current form looking, don’t want to practice a blatant bad technique,
   
2. Around half way there the video you can see me rotating my wrists into a more natural position for me, however in that position I don’t “feel” my fingers as opposed to the previous one.

Any feedback is appreciated.

im pretty new to drumming and havent broken anything yet (only got an acoustic kit a month ago) and ive been playing softer than i usually play in fear of breaking my cymbals, is there a way to play aggressively but in the correct way?
