Until then.... this mother f..ker is going to bed. Peace

(It's a crappy electric set so they can control my volume)

Hang egg cartons around the top perimeter of the room.

Recommend me stands!

I'm gonna get rid of my rack, I really have no need for it. I don't play 3 up anymore, so it looks quite barren.

I'd need one for my 10" and a crash.
One for my 12" and a china?
One for my other crash.
Then one for my ride.

My birthday is coming up, so hopefully I can get some stands and a new ride for it!

I'm a pretty heavy hitter, so keep that in mind. Don't need any stands falling over on me.

Gogogo!

Question: When you double bass, should you pick up your legs or just the front half of your feet?

I raise my whole leg even if I'm playing single pedal. My heel is pretty much never touching the pedal when I play.

I'm gonna take some pics of my drums pretty soon but until then I own a 6 piece Pearl Session drum kit. I have Joey Jordisons signature snare drum and at this point I actually want to get rid of it - I'm thinking of a maple snare. I also have a standard Tama double pedal and I want to upgrade to the Iron Cobras.

What drum heads would you guys suggest for my drums? They're made of birch wood and I want to enhance the birch sound. Any suggestions?
