Working for guitarist Andrew Lilley today!

The last time I played live my son was a year old. Tonight, he was there to watch me and he 26 now.

It's definitely paint, not wrap. Another photo shows some scrapes in the finish. Also, does look like a 24" kick to you? The toms look like 13, 16.

This is why you practice orchestration lol!

this is from trooper iron maiden, I’m relatively new and I have no idea what this means

Is this deal worth it at all?

$650 I don’t know much about dw I know they’re generally expensive but these seem a little rough. I think the badge says they’re all maple and he said small sizes so I’m guessing 18 inch kick.

1986 yamaha 5000. G1 reso G2 clear batter. Love me some new heads.

Long story short. I bought this custom Hero 14x9 snare off market place. The bearing edge was a little warped inwards where the snare wire straps passed through. It was also missing a lug and a few tension rods.

I used steam and kept the shell in spreaders for like a month to get the shell back into a symmetrical shape and it seems to have worked!

Snare is all cleaned and put back together. It looks and sounds amazing!

Last two pics are what it looked like when I bought it.

Took me like 15 seconds to get it

I dunno how many times I rearranged my kit in the last three years. But it finally feels good.

This thing sounds awesome. I've now got a samsun, a zilzen/turkish, and a mehteran. These turkish handmade cymbals are just outstanding. I love my k's and stuff, but this is just so buttery and musical.

September of 1977 Made in Japan Yamaha 7000 in Brown Silk finish. First ones of the 7000 being made with mufflers.

24,18,14,13 sizes - all made in september of 1977 (NP serial number).

This are play grade drums that suffered some neglecting but were made to be played again.
Some replaced parts and some rust and pitting.

Thinking of selling them.
What do you think they are worth?

I’ve been playing a set of 15” new beats for decades and never had the desire to play anything else. A few weeks ago I went to Mike Johnston’s Snares and Matcha event and had a chance to play his studio kit with a set of 15” foundry reserves and boy was I smitten. Maybe my new found preference for darker cymbals is because my ears are starting to feel fatigued by bright highs, or maybe they just genuinely are more versatile, but either way I knew I needed to get a set.

Also the hi-hat sounds exactly like the cowbell on Appetite for Destruction, not sure if I did something wrong or it's just bad, but it's funny either way.

I'm super curious to hear how loud these hits are and I can't find anything on youtube of it. The Drumeo guy said he could hear a lot of power but he might've just been gassing him up lol

15 yo drummer, 7 years playing. Any and all feedback is welcomed. 🙏

I’ve been drumming for 6 years and I’m curious what other drummers struggle with. Could be physical stuff like wrist or hand pain, practice space, staying motivated, getting better, gear, anything. What’s the one problem you’ve tried to fix and still haven’t? And what have you tried so far?

i’ve bought a drum kit solely because i saw a steel free floating snare drum and it was too good to pass.

It came with these hats, which i know they are “Pearl Rudes” but i can’t seem to find 15” hats anywhere on the web.

Can you help me access its rarity and possibly how much they are worth?

I’m selling them since i don’t need them!

1st commissioned custom snare build for my drum mentor Foz. He dubbed it “Frankensnare“ fitting for the fact that I robbed pieces from my snare graveyard.
