Can anyone give me any good recommendations for cymbals that would pair nicely with a Sabian Big and Ugly Phoenix 22" ? I am looking for another ride that is crashable (I love the big and ugly for this reason), but perhaps 18, 19, or 20 inch would be cool. I want a different voice with the...

IMHO, they missed the boat on their mounting/configuration of the delta triangle drums. Seeing as how they are triangles, the toms could be mounted to minimize distance between drums. The toms themselves could mount to each other, becoming their own rack system. Something like this might have...

How does one get the pin out? Just knock it out with a hammer and small nail sinker? I think I could drill the hole by using the

I am looking for some advice on how to cut down a yamaha cymbal rod. I have a medium length rod, and I want to cut it down to a small length (see pic 1). The top has a hole in it with some kind or compression pin in the hole. Is removing the top as simple as removing the pin and then pulling...

Ok. Got my hoops. Very happy with the decision to go Die-cast.

Went with Die-cast

Crowd sourcing my decision... Should I go with die-cast hoops or 2.3 triple flange on my new snare build? The drum is a 14" 8ply maple shell. Thanks!

Ok. So here are the results. I will update another pic later so you can see my snare bed.

Ha. Great idea. I will let you know when I get a response from them. Didn't black swamp/drum foundry used to make wood hoops?

The PDP wood hoops have a cutout for snare throw. They questions is: Is the cutout large enough, in the right location, etc.

Has anyone used an RCK snare throw with with PDP wood hoops? I am trying to verify they work well together prior to making purchases. Link to PDP Hoops here Link to RCK throw here

I have some leftover drum shell parts, a couple of 14" x 3-4" deep shells that are leftover from cutting down a shell. I want to make a shaman drum like the photo attached with them. However, as a vegan, I am hoping to find an alternative to the skin head that I could wrap the same way.

From an ergonomics standpoint, I am trying to consider optimum tom height. Should they be belly button high? chest high? Between? Any rules of thumb out there?

I have a bunch of used whiperclips that are in good shape. I have 18 of them. They are used to decouple/isolate a ceiling when making a sound proof drum room. $25.00 +shipping

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a place to purchase Yamaha-style wood hoops for a 10 lug snare drum?

Ok, my neighbor did a great job on the cut and the bearing edges. He built a custom jig to cut the drum down from each side. Then I bought a MDF board and glued some sand paper to it to sand everything down nice and even. Finally he cut an offset double 45 degree edge with his router table...

Ok, so I watched this video from Mapex on how they cut their bearing edges: http://mapexdrums.com/us/soniclear/ then I thought...since I have double 45 edges, couldn't I just put remo classic fit heads to solve the same problem? here:

Ok, so the plot thickens. My neighbor has a table saw and a router table. He also happens to be a drummer. Should I/we attempt to cut this drum down and do the bearing edges ourselves? Or leave it to an expert? He said that his router is not angle adjustable. But if we are only talking...
