Hi guys, I bought yesterday the Led Zeppelin's freshly released DVD and WOW what a show, along the almost 5 hours of playing there's Bonzo with all the kits he...
Hello all... Well... it is amazing because I am literally just doing the same exact thing... to the point of this the 1st DVD I ever bought, so I had to go out...
What were the shell sizes Bohnam had on his amber vistalite kit? I was in a music store here in Minnepolis and saw an amber kit with 15" tom, 20" & 18" floor...
Hey, Just wanted to let everyone know that I have decided to sell my Ludwig vistalite set. It was clear, now it's black. I made a huge mistake in painting it...
Ludwig listed orchestral Vistalite bass drums up to 30 inches - so I guess a 28 inch kit drum could exist. There is an example of a 30 inch concert drum...
Tony Royster Jr. is a twelve year old kid that blew my mind. if you have kazaa or windows media player i advise you to look up his amazing drum solo video and...

A lucid retort, my good man! I can still keep a pretty steady tempo after a few beers and kamikazes, and I can have my kit broken down, encased, and loaded...
Although I use an old 1930s Leedy brass parallel (AWESOME SNARE) IM not much of a snare collector. But I so have the crave to own a real ringer that'll punch...
Try sticking a magnet on it. If the magnet sticks, it's not brass, but I'm willing to bet it won't stick. Thomas ... SNARE) ... a real ... RED FELT muff ... ...
Sounds like a good topic for discussion. The most ringy snare I have played is that new Pearl Chad Smith piece of crap. No offense Chad, love your drumming...
Does anyone have any good suggestions for kick drum muffling besides putting a pillow in the drum or using the new Aquarian heads with the built in muffler? I...
John Bonham used no muffling whatsoever in his kick drum.......tune 'em tight and let 'er rip!! Cheers, David G. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... Hi, I have pre-serial number chrome over brass supraphonic snare. Other things to look for are as follows. 1. CRIMPED! snare bed. The side of the shell...
... Bonham never muffled his kick. The best way to muffle it without a pillow is to use an Aquarian Super Kick II batter head. This the head I use on my 3...
i think Bonham used "shredded paper" in his stainless set.. those steel drums are bombs.. LOL he never muff-ed the 26" vista, no need to. those 26" vista's...
