Hawk, I'm thinking that you will change the sound of the snare? I would ask on Drumsmith.com, I'm sure that all metal shells are tuned by hammering and the head tension.

I am switching from dish to direct. If your looking for HD and DVR direct has the best prices for what you get. Direct has more HD channels for less money. I'm paying about $98 a month with dish with 200 channels and about 45 HD (no dvr's if I add 2 the cost goes up $10). With dish I will 200 channe...

did that article say that the government is going to restructure a bailout for them that's for like 30 billion. i thought obama meant change. where's all this change that's supposed to be happening. or did he pull the old bait and switch "i'll tell them i plan to make change, but i'll never sa...

Have you seen the stock market today? The bailout is REALLY WORKING!

Oh ya, and California is getting 80 billion now! I love to pay Tax's don't you! Can you say DEPRESSION it's coming!

That's why I believe in a flat percentage tax for everyone. Are you talking about something like this that got shot down in 2006 by congress? This bill didn't even make it to the floor!! WHY?? http://www.heritage.org/Research/Taxes/bg1866.cfm Why not look at a flat tax on goods sold instead of inco...

Are saying to cut Staffing at prisons? Are you an X inmate?

I have not been on this forum long but I would love to go learn more. I think this is the best way to learn.

I know there are people out there who are. I have recorded with a jazz band and I get the " What are you doing" comment every time I play with them. Well I love to play jazz, as I think all drummers should play jazz. All my friends think I'm nuts ( there not drummers) LOL Personally, I can...

They will only cut a 45 single on acrylics. I don't know the reason for this but they told me that when I called. I will be using them for a little of everything but more of the heavier rock side. I'm still going to use a Maple snare. I'm realy interested in sound! The only live acrylics I have hear...

I have been trying to get info on acrylic IRC shells. I have played the old acrylics but I'm told that the new IRC's are better. If anyone has any input I would love to hear from you. A friend of mine just saw this guy ( http://www.christianhoffe.com/ ) play and said that his drums sounded awsome. I...

I thought that was what you where trying to say! ( I really did ) I just didn't want anyone thinking that they are BAD to use. The only time I use them is when I'm mic'ed. CCdrums brought up a really good point, If you are using a muffled head please don't use anything else. PS: PLEASE DON'T CUT THE...

I use NO MUFFLING WHATSOEVER on anything except a very small pad in the kick drum barely touching both heads. Proper tuning will give you that "sound" that you're looking for, not moon gel. :D I do not agree with you. It's also about the sound that you want. Some peole don't like an open ...

Thanks, The PDP's are ok. I had to send 2 of shells back. The bearing edges where bad. I just got that kit so I didn't have to take my Yamaha's out to bars. I had a set of Tircks but I really didn't like them. I go on Drumsmith.com all the time. That's how I got the idea. Some one on Drummerworld I ...

Hawk, Yes the ply's would have to be thicker. I'm not sure the glue is added to thickness of the ply. Reinforcement rings would be a must! Keller will make anything you ask them to. I do know that there 5 ply is 0.13 inch (3.3 mm) thick. That's what I'm getting. I'm thinking thats really close to th...

I was at the namm show this year and the bigger drum comp are all coming out with new 3ply maple shell drums this year. THIN SHELLS ARE BACK!! I have also called Keller and they will make 3ply shells. Yes I'm building my own kit. I hope to be all done in about 2 to 3 months. I will post pic's when t...

I was just wandering what other bands are using(speakers,amps,mixer)? We have been looking at getting our own PA system.
