Curious is anyone has ever put die cast hoops on a Gretsch Brooklyn set. If so what changes did it make to the sound compared to the 302s

Drum key on my truck keys for the last 15 years. If I’m gigging I drove my truck there, if I’m at home I drove my truck there. Extra key on my stand next to drums at home

132. something similar I like to do… I have a cardio app that tells you're heart rate. Set your metronome to you heart bpm and jam

There were actually a handful of bands in Boone that would blow these guys out of the water… at the time we were all hippies digging jam bands, fusion and jazz and everyone kind of wrote these kids off as classic rock rip offs. Goes to show what sells! Proud of them either way

Female parts lol nice auto correct there DFO

I actually lived next door to their percussionist while in Boone. He used to come jam with me all the time! Great guys, used to to throw some wild nude parties. Yes a bunch of naked dudes on stage isn’t that great, just turn around and look at all the female part in the crowd

While I hate that the prices of cymbals are soaring you guys do realize a part of this is our dollar isn’t worth what it once was

I’d love to hear from anyone experienced drilling the center hole of old cymbals to fit modern stands. I understand there can be some risk to cracking the cymbal or overheating the bronze. can I use a step drill bit to widen the center holes of old hi hats? what is the “safest”, best method?
