    What's your latest purchase?

    Almost pulled the trigger on an acro, but after hearing this I just had to have it. My amazing wife let me dip into the savings to grab it. Yes, I am very lucky XD Only thing I have changed is to put on 42 strand snare wires for a fatter sound.

    Would you play gigs with it ?

    I have a one of a kind custom kit and the maker went out of business. Despite having 2x other kits I still take this one of a kind out to every gig from pubs to wedding venues. I bought it because I loved it, so my gods it's getting used <3

    gear4music awful service

    Gah! So 2 weeks ago I ordered some stuff and heads from gear4music, as I finally made the decision to move to Remo after being dissatisfied with the other brands. All the stuff I order is listed as in stock, I pay the money and it says it should take 2-3 days. Perfect as I need them that...

    Apparently wood isnt important in drums

    So just read this over at the pearl drummers forum, thoughts? PYRRHO There is no such thing as 'tonewood'. Wood is chosen based on availability, cost, workability, and finish properties. Only after the shell has been designed, the target demographic identified, and projected returns analyzed...
