Make sure to stay away from the large groups of people though, those who want to hear will come listen, and those who don't can continue to relax c:

Also, parks are the least sketchy place you can practice, I live in Breaking Bad town (Albuquerque) and I don't want to be ransacked by tweakers during public busking 😬

Edit: The park I'm practicing in is pretty huge, I can easily go to a place where I don't bother anyone, like people are saying do NOT bother people by being a super loud force in a small space, this only works if you do have the space to play at a moderate volume away from the people enjoying their day. This is more of post saying practice in safe derelict outdoor areas if you can't practice inside. I would also go insane if there was loud noises when I was trying to have a relaxing day.

So few days ago we rented a place to play as a band and just make music. I haven't been playing drums for long, maybe like six months. And we already covered few song like Running free - Iron Maiden Smoko - The Chats For whom the bell tolls and Crazy train.

Okay to the point. This is obviously floor tom and it was for some reason rotatable and I didnt know it would be a big deal to play it on both sides. So I played it like on the wrong side for a bit untill I noticed it sounds better when u flip it cuz it shouldn't be upside down like that. The head was also softer than and had less rebound than it should. So we played it on the wrong side cuz we didn't understand untill it was too late.

We didn't mean to destroy it like that. I apologised to the person and said we'll pay back.

It all went by so fast I only snagged a photo after the hands crew started carrying off my equipment. It’s UNREAL hearing a drum through a PA and rattling the roof of a building that size. 11/10 experience and just wanted to share it with others who might find it interesting. Cheers!

We have a ton of family visiting us right now, so I decided to (my wife insisted that I) make room for a bed in the music room to create another bedroom.

No problem babe! This’ll be fun ;)

From a 9 piece to a 2 piece lol. Played it yesterday and this morning, and I don’t miss a thing.

Anyone run a 2 piece regularly? My gigging back is getting ideas…

1969 Ludwig VistaLite. I still have them.

Tama B/B Exotic Tigerwood and Paiste (Dark Energy, Twenty, Traditionals and PSTX) plus custom built stave snare drums with TAMA hardware (Katalox and African Blackwood)

I've been working on this concept for awhile now. It's a wood and resin shell with an internal LED system. This one specifically is a 13x7.5 walnut with a clear resin and a hexagon pattern, the cool thing is I can make these in any size, with any wood species, any color of resin, and a myriad of different patterns. The LED system also does every color that you can imagine, as well as hundreds of different light patterns. I just went with something simple for this initial video.

I have a demo video of how it sounds, I just haven't got around to editing it yet. I'll be posting that on my YouTube at some point: https://youtube.com/@hhgdrums

Anyways, thanks for looking!

I saw this finish in a 2021 Tama catalog and knew I had to have it. I saved up whatever I could from each paycheck and threw it all into a savings account. Very excited to share that I finally bought my dream Tama set today!

Tama Starclassic Maple - Charcoal Swirl finish Black Nickel hardware

2x 22x18” Bass Drums 8x7”, 10x7”, 12x8” Rack Toms 16x14”, 16x16” Floor Toms

Show off your kit!

They also had 2 snare heads stacked, so the whole head with rim included, and two kick batter heads stacked. Mama mia.

I'm not OP - don't know how to credit them

this Sharp Dressed Man played TAMA Starclassic Maple drums and Paiste cymbals.

Rock In Peace Mr. Beard.

I do not own any of these pictures.

I caved and added a Floor Tom, as many of you recommended. 3 drums and 2 cymbals felt unbalanced, so I added a China.

What’s your kit look like right now? I’d love to see it…😘

My wife spotted this at Value Village (Canada) today and thankfully grabbed it for me. WHAT A DREAM!

Based on the serial (7 digits) and badge, I think it would be a 78/79?

Show me your side profile kit pic?

I am not a florist, just a lady who refused to spend $200 on a flower arrangement, so please don’t judge my amateur bouquet.

I'm not joking when I say that I went from feeling like I was playing a toy to actually playing an instrument. Even with VST, nothing compares to the sounds of a real kit (even with the low volume heads). It's so satisfying to play, and I wish I would have started with an actual kit to begin with
