Yea, loss, I've been window shopping there since before I even played anything.

I got it at Alexandria Music, which is right off the GW parkway on Belleview Blvd.

Probably gonna port the bass too.

I'll replace the stock heads eventually. Probably do ambassadors and a powerstroke 3. Maybe CS on the toms, I have no clue yet.

I haven't messed with the tuning on mine yet. It's perfect. I think the guys at the store tuned it.

Thank you man. I stared at this kit long and hard for a good year or so. I knew I'd end up buying it eventually. It is perfect for me.

I think I'm gonna get metal hoops for the bass. I prefer them to wood.

I've been gone probably the last 5-6 months or so, and yesterday I made a big change to my setup. I was out and about when I stopped in my local music store for the first time in months. Basically, I ended up running back to my house, grabbing my kit and gear and trading in my shells and a...

I've got a 13x3.5" Mapex MPX that has become my main snare, and a 60s 14x5" Tama that's on the back burner in need of repair, but sounds decent as it sits.

As we all know, the Redskins lost their quarterback to the battle of wounded ankle, rather than wounded knee... I'm rooting for the Lions. They give me a strong feeling of underdog syndrome and they're absolutely tearing up the field this year. They deserve that trophy more than any team in the...

I'm having a slight problem. I upgraded from my 70s Pearl to a lovely ddrum Defiant. They look great, and sound astounding for what I paid. ($225-$250 in trade, kit was $900 new) But there's a big problem, which is the big bass. I had my 22×14 and it was just dandy. The modern sized 22×18, for...

I imagine the shallowest you could possibly go and still get a decent sound is 22×10 maybe. And that's with s well tuned and muffled batter and reso, and I imagine a port would open it up and control it more.

I don't think I've ever had a bad experience with a rockstar. Even as far as meeting Bam Margera, he was one of the nicest people I've ever chatted with. Got to get on the tour bus and everything.

Heh, I generally get positive old people replies. Maybe our ears wear differently.
