Sounds fun! Let me know if you need any help

Brushbox is a large, dense hardwood that grows around the north-eastern coast of Australia and it's one of my favourite timbers to work with. Partly because it's one of the few lighter coloured...

Sorry man I'm in Australia, I buy them over here. But attack and evans make great single ply coated heads too

sorry It took me a while to check back on this post. I was just referring to an clear 'ambassador snare'. It's Remo's standard weight resonant side head for snare drums
hope the snares sounding good

Cheers guys, thanks for the kind words!

You could just grab a hacksaw and cut it off if it really bothers you

Man, I've done that heaps of times. You sand through to the finer grades of sandpaper, which start to polish the surface, and then you see all the low spots that the rougher paper didn't get. Freakin...

Try not to worry too much about salespeople. Cymbals cost a lot of money and they're really subjective so you're entitled to test (within reason) and listen to as many cymbals as you like until you...

Detuning the tension rods that sit on either side of the snare wire on the resonant side of your snare drum can sometimes fix this.
You only need to go down about half a turn
It helps give the...

I'm getting pretty excited. Can't wait to meet all you guys too. So I can put some faces to the names and avatars i see on here.

Jeff Ballard rules!
it's amazing that he really didn't get much recognition until he gave in to having endorsements

Can't wait til his signature cymbals come out! ...

Great list alvin!

I usually tap the sticks individually as well to check that they are relatively the same pitch.
I don't think it's absolutely necessary.... but it generally helps me get more...

Generally 12" are cheaper because more people use them, so they can be bought in larger quantities by importers etc...

I was wondering why you were playing trad in that Olivia Quong clip!

I reckon just make up you own mind on what grip you want to use, just be prepared to practice to make it work for you.
I'm...

Hey,
basically you've got different sized snare wire to allow you to get the ratio of Drum to Snare sound that you want.

For example; a snare with a 12 strand wire is going to have much more...

Dunno if you can get it in Singapore but Ragone (you know the company that makes hardcases) have started making bass drum patches with a small piece of the plastic in it. The same stuff they build...

Hey,
Anodizing can only be done on aluminium alloys and triple flange hoops are chrome plated steel.
But just about any powdercoating workshop should be able to do your hoops in whatever colour...
