    Long-term cymbal storage

    Hey all! I've unfortunately not been able to play drums for over a year, which means my cymbals have needed a place to stay. I've had them in a hardshell skb case stood upright and I'm beginning to wonder if this could possibly be damaging to the cymbals to be stacked like that forever. I...

    safe cymbal storage

    tbh they're not really taking up space that I don't have, like I said I slid them under my bed. I'm more worried about the force of all the cymbals on top of each other. actually the real reason I'm worried is that I don't have the money to replace my Ks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    safe cymbal storage

    Hi guys! It's been awhile since I've been around. A recent situation has forced me to dismount my cymbals and store them in my dorm with nothing but a soft shell beg to protect them - what would you recommend as far as storage? Right now I have them lying flat under my bed, bell facing...

    Overhead Mic Pickup Patterns

    Hey y'all! So a week and a half ago I got these $100 lyx pro microphones to use as stereo overheads. Super cheap but work great, was a recommendation from a friend I don't think I would have taken a chance on otherwise Anyways a cool thing about these mics is that they come with 3...

    Has anyone ever experienced this before?

    Around the beginning of the month, I began to feel a little sore in my wrists. So I thought, eh, this has happened before, I'll rest for a few days and then look at my technique again to make sure it's not slipping and take steps to fix this (although I should note that this time it didn't...

    Why bother with the resonant head on the kick drum?

    Recently I recorded 5 songs for my band's EP. For 4 of the songs I took off the resonant head and really got the mic close to the batter head, got a pleasant sound out of it. The 5th song was recorded with a ported resonant head and I got a usable but not as good sound (I kind of rushed the...

    Help? Wrist pains......

    So yesterday I was rehearsing with my band and my wrist started hurting a little bit. Which is strange because I feel like I shouldn't be having pain after drumming through a rehearsal because I'm young and it's never happened before but that's besides the point. I have a show tonight and I'm...

    Porting bass drum head?

    Does anybody have any good suggestions for cutting a hole in the resonant head of a bass drum without taking it off? Is it going to be hard to get a good result without taking it off? The main reason I ask is because if I'm going to go to the trouble of taking off the head and tuning it back on...

    What's your latest purchase?

    I just blew out all my savings For starters, I bought a focusrite 18i20 interface (as per recommendations from many users on this forum). Next, I bought a Shure DKM52-77 mic kit (I think that's what it's called). It included a Beta 52 and three SM57s + drum mounts for the 57s, and it also came...

    How do you Arrange your Cymbals around the kit?

    Especially curious for people with more than 4 cymbals I feel like my arrangement is somewhat unique. I have the standard hi-hat and crash on the left side (crash is above and to the left of the first rack tom) - I use my 18" crash on the left. Then I have my ride to the right and nearly level...

    Good interfaces?

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a recording interface looking to spend at most about $500 (will consider stuff that's more expensive) and wanting at least 8 xlr inputs. Right now the focusrite 18i20 is what I'm thinking of going for but I wanted to see if anyone...
