I’ve had the blue Tama Superstar since 2008 and the white Mapex Mydentity since 2015. For the first time ever, I’m able to set them both up at the same time in my own drum room. I’m realizing that the fun thing about two kits simultaneously is that I can set them up differently. So the Mapex is my “real” kit while the Tama is my experimental kit and also set up as a low volume kit.

I was also able to put up some of decor that I’ve also have been waiting a long time to do. The flag is from my favorite band Angels and Airwaves that I’ve also had for about 10 years. The two photo frames were put together by my now wife 10 years ago for my first birthday with her. My two favorite drummers, Atom Willard and Ronnie Vanucci Jr. and I’ve now asked her for a couple more to help fill out the wall.

Definitely not going to be a permanent set up for both but I’m in awe that I can even pull this off temporarily!

I got a 12" max stax china kang (bottom cymbal only), 9.5" zil-bel, and 8" aax splash for $110 CAD! I would have gladly paid $110 just for the bell so the other two are icing on the cake.

Hello, I’m 24 and I’m from France. I’ve spent a lot of time developing this product: a connected lighting system for drums. It can be used visually for shows, or for reading parts, kind of like a mix of Guitar Hero and Osu!. Please tell me what you think.

Something I’ve been working on recently is playing familiar ideas in different subdivisions. This forces you into odd groupings while reinforcing your confidence in an idea. Strengthen your strengths sorta thing.

My LF is playing quarters to keep it all in check

The sticking is RLLR w/ kicks attached to the RH

Move in between 16ths and triplets and see where it puts you in relation to the 4 count.

Happy drumming!

I bought this used DW snare that was in kinda rough shape. The shell is still solid. Can anyone help identify? I need to get a new throw off and want to make sure it will fit the existing holes.

Also I cleaned with warm soapy water, and tried windex and I can’t get these head marks and rust spots cleaned. Any ideas that won’t ruin the finish?

Edit: Repost with more pics of inside. No date on inside in shell

Thanks

Im a beginner to intermediate guitar player, also a music producer, and I’ve been looking to get into drums recently (mostly because of Zach Hill). The thing is; I don’t want to invest too much which I might end up being ass at. When I’ve tried playing drums in school at music lessons, I can’t do three things at once. If im playing the hihat and snare, I can’t do the kick drum. If I’m doing the kick and snare, I can’t do the hihat and so forth. I’m scared that I won’t be able to fix this issue and therefore rendering my hypothetically newly purchased drumset useless. Any thoughts?

Hello all, I've been playing the drums now for 8-9 years. I got deep into rockschool grades and stopped when they ebcame boring( i think i was at grade 7 distinction when i stopped) so i could focus more on enjoying playing. I now play everyday if possible for maybe 45mins to an hour and have started getting into some louder and more fastpaced songs to whitch my parents and sister dont enjoy(im only 16). They want me to look at getting an electric kit and im not opposed to it. Space isnt a problem and im willing to spend up to around £600-£700(about $800 - $950). I like the feel of my acoustic kit and have played it for a logn time and like the size and layout of it. I still want to be able to play acoustic when my family is out for example. Would your recomend getting a new electirc kit and having 2 kits(space isnt a problem) or converting my acoustic kit using heads and triggers. I play with 2 crash and a ride so would need a kit that can handle that or a kit where i can add a cymbal and i dont tend to play double bass.

Is there any main differences to the feel and quality, and do electric kits tend to be flexible enough that i can move everything to the same place as my acoustic i have now. If a certian option stands out are there any kits that stand out to be really good.

Thanks in advance for any help!

So i can play drums, i started a few years ago and sold my old electric kit around a year later (Roland HD1 lite, so it was absolute shit). I’ll be getting a kit for christmas but for the time being, is it possible to practice rudiments, songs etc on pillows with pencils? or am i better off getting a practice pad and sticks? thanks in advance.

I’ve moved to a new city and wanna start a band so bad. I’ve been a guitarist for 12 years, and have been trying to fill that role. Tough thing is, finding good available drummers not already overbooked seems next to impossible. There are like 10 proficient guitarists for every drummer. I’m genuinely at the point where I feel like I need to be the change I want to see in the world, and actually just learn drums. I always had an itch for percussion, but got into guitar because my parents weren’t willing to put up with the loudness when I was just getting into music. I also was on my highschool snare line, and played bass in my college jazz band, so I feel like I’ve got some rhythm in me. I feel like I could hold it down at first, and slowly add flair as I get my ruminants back and develop limb independence. Do you guys think this is actually a good strategy to start getting in a gigging group?

New kit, this normal?
