You can certainly vote with your dollars. But I can tell you working for two major MI manufacturers that almost all of their B stock is simply gear that has been on display at trade shows.

Agreed. But now that I am using the amazing Drumnetics pedal (magnets) I don’t have to worry about it. Someone pointed out that you can use rubber bands in place of springs. I tried it out and it works great if you get a few heavy duty rubber bands. My favs are the ones they put on...

So if I write new lyrics and a different melody but use Keith’s fuzz riff over and over you wouldn’t consider I was ripping him off? I’ll bet if you ask people on the street to sing satisfaction more people could sing the lick than the words

I agree. I think the laws were written way back at a time when lyrics and melody were all that really mattered. But starting with the rock era riffs were maybe more important than lyrics and melody. Keith’s riff in “Satisfaction” is much more important to that song than the lyrics or the melody.

That’s what first got my attention. Hearing him on some Pat M recordings and saying to myself “wow, I can finally hear each individual stick strike”. i grew up with Zildjian “Ringo rides”. By the time you'd hit the cymbal 3 times it just became wash for the rest of the tune ;) I have a...

You might also look into the new Master’s series flats. I traded in my 20” Signature flat for a 22” Master’s and haven’t looked back. It is a bit less washy than the Signature and has a much more woody stick sound than my 18” 602 (so I use both of them on gigs)

So I’ve never actually tested it, so I’m just asking the question … but I wonder if that handling noise isn’t a benefit sometimes being that it would mostly consist of the resonate frequency of the bass drum? That might be very similar to sticking a subkick mic/drum in front of your bass drum...

Funny how we all do it differently. For me, my rack Tom overhangs my bass drum by an inch or two so my snare ends up a couple of inches away from the kick.

Your headphone output and your mains outputs should be the same signal (with maybe a difference in level but not sound quality). Getting a great quality sound from electronic drums requires a really big, high quality playback system that can handle a high dynamic range.

If the Sonor keys are too thick it is easy to modify them. Just give the ring a little squeeze and it comes right off. Grind down the flat a bit and then squeeze the ring back on. The photo is the mod I did to make it work with Trixon.

Looking for an Ahead Armor AR5013 9” deep x 13” diameter tom bag. Thanks

Maybe some of them are. I have a Bettis 20” flat ride that is very much 602 inspired.

Probably because no one sees an unanswered need that could be filled at a price a sizable market would pay for it.

This is a very rare cymbal and I suspect most have never had the opportunity to play one. Mine is much heavier than the one in the video (almost 3000g). It is much louder than my other flats (18” 602, 22” Masters dark, Bettis 20”). If you are looking for a loud 602, this is it.

Analine die/stains are the richest of all. But they are the hardest to work with.

I guess you either like “that great Gretsch sound” or you don’t ;)

We have a winner … no more calls! That stiffness is a result of the wood species AND shell stiffness, shell construction, hardware, rims and heads. So a wood species by itself can sound a lot of different ways.

Playing someone else’s drum kit is like wearing someone else’s underwear.

I’d sure like to see a photo of that setup when you get a chance.

While I have never personally done it with tape, I am reminded of those old Pearl Export kits once they sat out in the sun or a hot car. Bubble, bubble, bubble ;)
