    Brooklyn Standard: DO I Give Up?

    Yeah, I’m pretty used to them and have even swapped out the triple-flanges on some of my other snares for DFD’ stick choppers.

    Brooklyn Standard: DO I Give Up?

    I realize this is an ancient thread but it came up on a Google search. DC1000 were started by Joe Voda’s Drum City in Omaha in the late 70s. He opened his shop in 1962.

    Successful Youtube channel tips/tricks?

    My channel recently hit 10k subscribers, but it’s (99%) dedicated to classic big band and jazz drummers…not a cover channel or about me in any way. The channel name is “thecrippledrummer.”

    Amazon deals thread

    Lol. I’ve never weighed it. The only scale I have access to at the moment isn’t that accurate. It’s probably not too far off from yours though. It’s pretty thin.
