One word: amphetamines...

No worries, we're all here to nerd out to our hearts content on all things drums. I sorta share your views on reso-less bass drums. A lot of the music I really liked growing up had thuddy/muffled kick sounds with the reso head removed. We did that a lot in the recording sessions I've been to as...

First off, I'd like to commend you for your taste in music, it is refreshing to see younger folks interested in what happened in yesteryears. My 12y/o daughter is also a huge Beatles fan and her geeky knowledge of obscure trivia about them surpasses mine by a looong shot. I'd like to know...

Thank you for your kind words Kris :)Well we're all from Eastern Canada, 3 are from New-Brunswick and my bro and I are from the Magdalen Islands wich are part of Quebec but right south of Newfoundland in the St-Lawrence Gulf. And our father spent his life in a trad/celtic influenced band so I...

Now I have to explain what it is that we do and give a little bit of backstory if I want to overcome my impostor syndrom (wich in my case is thouroughly justified) and let you guys get a glimpse of our stuff. First off, I said it already in other threads but I am NOT a drummer. I am extremely...

Oh! I'd rock that purple beauty... May it have a glorious life of pleasant noise-making. Congrats !!

So, no sputnik antenas on the Blaemire I guess? ;-) Joking aside, Squirrel: if, as David suggested, there is a possible issue with cracking over time, it is a good incentive to learn to play quieter. I used to love bashing like the kit owed me money, but lately, with new neighbors, I kinda...

The snare is a 1914 marching snare and the wires are genuine cat gut... I didn't mess around with the tuning but it sure is a weird tone. I also found 1940's Leedy 32" kick, and here it side by side with my 20" for scale.

Here's a few pics of load in night. Oh and there are 2 of a nice find: an old Leedy marching snare that was in a closet here. I will post more pics tomorrow by the light of day, this place used to be the residence of a manufacturing Tycoon and it has definitely a 70's playboy sort of vibe...

Tornado: Well we are 5 lead singers. We pretty much always sing 5 parts harmonies in choruses and select song sections.We jonkingly refer to ourselves as The Seaguls a cajun bargain bin version of the Eagles... ;-) of the few songs I lead,2 are from behind the kit. I now have waaaaaaaay more...

Yeah, it's my old beater Boxster S. Kinda like the "Catalina drums" of performance cars. A cheaper version the real deal, much bitched about by non-owners, but able to keep up with some of the the big boys when well tuned and handled by capable hands. The poor thing had a rough life ;-), but...

Hope your kit sounds as good as it looks... Btw, I bust out laughing at your thread title. Best wordplay I've seen in months ;-)

Yes, kids before christmas and all that... My bandmates and I are going on a 5 days writing/recording "workation" in a studio. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. No distractions, no kids or wives around, but most of all, none of that remote crap: music is meant to be played...

I found the lightest, thinnest snare stand around... A 40$ Dixon. Wouldn't trust this on a cross-country tour but with a short sound test with the WFL 13", I found that it doesn't rob the tom of any tone. It is so flimsy, it is almost comical. It's a good thing I'm working hard learning to play...

Well, actually.... Nah! You're right ;-)
