I own a Yamaha "Hip Gig" set. I love it. All three drums (snare, tom and floor) fit into the base drum and the hardware fits into the throne. The base is 16...
Good question. Never much thought about it. Possibly look to extend your contents insurance, if it's offered, as I know you can do it for other valuables and...

Hi all, I was pretty mush going to say the same thing as Tomas, but he's covered it so nicely! :-) I'm in Australia and have done and do the 'pro' touring ...
Okay, I got my (very) small new kit… And after wanting one (and not totally realizing this) for many years, it's a real blast to finally own one! The set is...
Okay, I got my small jazz kit, it's a Groove Percussion 4 piece set with a 16" bass. I've read some good reports on this set, and also I recently watched a...

Hi Drumwoulf, IMHO, I think i'd better if you try to tune the drums well rather than duct taping allover the skins (a bit overdo I supposed). Try several kind...
Hey all -- With all the recent talk about skins, lemme ask a question -- any of you like the sound of _old_ heads? Meaning heads that you've already broken way...
... If it "sounds so good" to you, then by all means don't change it! Drums are about sound and if you're getting the sound you want, you're good to go. You ...
