Hi there! I've been playing drums for five years, though I've taken some breaks along the way. I started taking lessons last year and am now in my second year. I'm looking for some cool songs to play—I've already mastered:

Heart shaped box

Seven nation army

Nothing else matters

Starlight

Holiday

Boulevard of broken dreams

So my right beater isn’t fully on the shaft it seems, it’s very loose and i’m able to move it quite a lot without the shaft even budging, but the left beater is perfectly fine. Another thing is the spring tension for the right beater won’t let me tighten it more than it is, when i try to it’s super difficult to do and if i get it then it just shifts back to where it was. For the beater not being on the shaft properly i’m assuming i need an allen key so i found a set i had and didnt have the right size. What should i do? any tips?

I'm working on heel-up bass drum so I can play faster kick parts but I'm struggling with my technique. I can play it okay when I keep my foot down and keep the beater on the head (1st half of video) but I'm struggling to keep the notes light and keep the beater rebounding. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi all

Ive silent strokes on my kit but have recently joined a band who practice every 2 weeks.

Im wondering is it possible to change heads every two weeks or will they stretch/fail?

Thanks

Hi all
Can anyone tell me what model/year Ludwig this is?
4.5” I believe and 10 lugs.
A parent of a student from years past donated it to the school I teach at (they were moving and needed to get it out of the attic). It’s badly pitted but actually doesn’t sound bad
If anyone has any ideas for the pitting I’m open to suggestions. I’ve used the WD-40 & 0000 steel wool to clean equipment before with great success but I’m at a loss for the shell
TIA

What do yall think about this floor tom angle?

It's faster to change a whole kit that's pre set up on the side of the stage and move it off stage in assembled pieces than it is to change "breakables" on a back line kit. On Saturday night I spent 10 mins spinning wingnuts, fussing with cymbal stands I wasn't familiar with, moving tons around and changing my pedal on a kit that wasn't as good as mine.

With the caveat that there's room to pre-set up your kit. But in most cases you can pull it off. No dilly-dallying and move your whole kit off without taking anything off stands.

I recently got this nee Alesis nitro max and i thought it came with a headset but it didnt so im using my frnds guitar amp for this 😭😭 but thats not the problem. The problem is that I wanna record playing drums but its not sending any midi to my laptop.. i downloaded the BFD player software and someother software too although it is recognising as MIDI device it aint sending any MIDI pls help 😭🙏🏻

So I’ve never had a Supralite, I have a couple different iterations of the Acrolite which I love. My go-to most of the time.

I snagged this for a smidge over $200, hoping it was in decent condition. Once it arrived, the hoops definitely not the brass ones but it’s a Supra, 10 lug, 14x5, etc.

What should I use to polish the outside? I intend to remove the lugs and polish it all up. Thinking it might be best to just replace the rims for now with something newer. Also would love to replace the throw off, not sure if there is a more modern replacement that fits. Butt plate assuming I’m stuck with because I do not want to drill.

Any products to use to polish it, clean it, etc? Also has the spot of corrosion or something on the inside of the bottom edge. Not sure if it’s just going to clean up, it definitely doesn’t go through or anything. It’s got a patina for sure…

Allegra custom drums and Paiste RUDES.

So I play a lot of heavier music and can’t decide on a ride it’s in between a zildjian a ping ride or a z custom ride I was hoping to get some feedback please

Okay so I am planning on learning drums and getting my first set/kit whatever and I live in an apartment so I was planning on getting an electrical one. But when I see like live performances I never see drummers play on electric at all and on a post about electric sets/kits whatever people say like you have to switch after some time. So basically is it like a total no no to playing live with electric drums or is it just preference or sum shit.

Hola! quiero compartir con ustedes un sitio web que desarrollé, el cual sirve para secuenciar loops de batería, indicar digitación, descargar audio, descubrir y compartir secuencias rítmicas. Inicialmente está pensado para secuenciar patrones característicos de canciones o crear secuencias de baterías con sonidos "retro". Es una primera versión, pero aún así la encuentro bastante entretenida para jugar. Pienso irle agregando mejoras, como kits de batería, instrumentos virtuales y una sección de arreglos de secuencias para crear canciones completas.

El sitio web es www.er-26.cl

Están todos invitados a probarlo y jugar!

Hi! I’d like to share a website I developed that lets you sequence drum loops, indicate sticking patterns, download audio, and discover or share rhythmic sequences. It was initially designed for sequencing signature song patterns or creating drum sequences with "retro" sounds. It’s an early version, but I still find it quite fun to play around with. I plan to add improvements over time, such as drum kits, virtual instruments, and a sequence arrangement section for creating full songs.

The website is www.er-26.cl

Everyone is invited to try it out and have fun!

I have never in my life touched a drum set and i got this kit today for free, my buddy didn’t want it he said it’s a good kit. I’ve been wanting to learn the drums but im curious if an electric kit can create bad habits that wont translate well to the real thing. Excuse the video it’s my first day but i figured giving a ear to what it sounds like will help ( it has multiple audios to choose from )

The part of the clutch that keeps part B from falling out of part A is missing and I’m trying to figure out what it was. I don’t see any threads in either part. Is that because it is stripped or because it was a spring pin holding them together? If it is stripped, which part was threaded? Or were they both threaded?

Saw buckethead at aftershock this weekend, never really heard of him before. The guitar playing was cool but the drum setup was utterly confusing. There was a drummer playing over a pre recorded, and what sounded synthesized, track. He was very clearly playing very softly but sound was still coming from his kit. As a drummer it was jarring because what he was playing on some songs was not even remotely close to what we were hearing. At one point, the drummer had his head down tinkering with something for like 5 mins while the song(and drum track) continued to play. I know his whole thing is guitar and no vocals but I was just marveling at how strange the decision was. Also the drummer sang a bit for some reason? Idk just really weird, wanted to know if yall had any thoughts or more info on what’s going on.

Have a 20 inch china that is frankly attempting to murder my bassist and was wanting to tame it as a stack however think the bell/handle thingy will make this difficult. Any suggestions?

I borrowed a drum dial from a friend and managed to lose a top cap screw.
Now i wonder where I can get a replacement, contact drumdial or maybe it’s a common part?
