How much would you / could you hang on a kick drum?
|
| |
Hey guys! How's things in here? I'm starting to get into alot of restaurant and small clubs with my blues trio, and the real estate up on stage (if we even get a stage) is becoming more and more hard to claim.

Snare Beds redux (-MIKE- or whomever)
|
| |
Took a little trip to one of my student's homes last night to help them change out heads, tune etc. The kit was a Pacific with the satin stain finish. Heavy thickish shells, decent bearing edges, self tapping rods?, some were very hard to turn but not stripped, pain in the tush. Anyway, had trouble with the snare then inspected the snare bed, and... more »

Keystone badge acrolite - worth anything?
|
| |
I have a '69 keystone badge acrolite that hasn't been used in years. All the ones I see for sale are B/O badges, so I thought I'd check to see if this drum might be worth a bit more than the usual acrolite. Any ideas? Sean

Pearl Snare Wires
|
| |
I need to replace some snare wires on a Pearl signature snare - so I want to replace with Pearl parts. In their parts catalog they list Ultra-Sound wires but they have C, D, and I-type. Anyone know the difference? Thanks, Steemer
