I switch out quite an arsenal of Zildjian As, A Customs, Ks, K Customs and Paiste models: Traditional, Signature, 2002s, 1000s, 2000s, 3000s and Rudes. (Even Paiste 404s and 505s.) But believe it or not; I sat in one night on a friend's kit which consisted of all Avedis Zildians and realized if...

Yeah. Purdie, half-way decent. Lol!

Looks like these "Cats" know what they're doin'.

At first blush, Ted Nugent comes to mind.

Hope you're not playing extremely hard, especially rim shots, 'cause you'll most certainly break maple sticks in half. Just speaking from my own experience.

Hi-Hat, most definitely. Able to add so much nuance and subtlety, musicality and rhythmic texture. I still remember how excited I was at age 12 when I got my first professional high-hat stand: a Rogers Supreme. At 61 years old now, I still have it and still use it. After all these years and...

I've never heard the old, "traditional" iterations of this song until now. (Since I've been enlightened here.) Took a listen to them and, in retrospect, they sounded more primitive (but, albeit, classic performances).

Thanks, guys.

Not to take the focus away from your beautiful drum, but here's the closest thing I have to compare: My early 90s Premier Heavy Rock Nine. I love it! Both deep and guttural, but with superb articulation.

Good point. Thank you. Rick

About ten years ago I spoke with Bernard Purdie. I'm a huge Steely Dan fan and, as you know, Mr. Purdie played on a few of their tracks. I asked him if he was happy with the drums on these tracks. (Not the playing, of course, but the sound of the drums.) His response: a resounding NO! I asked...

Thanks. The pdf brochure was very informative. Rick

Tama manufactured bass wood sets in the early 2000s and maybe a couple years earlier. They were, of course, designated as something-Star. I believe Superstar. They were alright drums with good mounting hardware and appointments. They sounded okay for what you would expect of a six or...

Well said, bell. Steve Gadd in a nutshell.

A wonderful human being. Grateful for his talent and success, and very approachable -- humble and willing to share his knowledge and experience with his fellow drummers, or anyone else. Just a regular Joe.

The great drummer that Steve is (although I haven't seen him much since he and his family moved from Rochester to Arizona) he's also one of the greatest guys you could ever call your friend. Just sayin'.

A girl Friday, maybe? :D

I was in a similar situation such as you, but as a result of different circumstances. Medicaid took our house and, along with it, all the space I had for 10 kits, many snares, and a boatload of hardware, cymbals , cases, and sound gear. I moved into an apartment and, although painful, I've...

Yup. That's all I ever used them for: to protect bass drum hoop marring from pedal attachment at the bottom of the hoop, and cowbell mounting rash at the top of the bass drum hoop. I use Falam-type patches for the beater strikes on the bass drum head -- they hold up much longer due to their...
