A few people have asked me how I keep the snare drums on my shelves quiet. The answer: felt strips! The same ones you’d use to dampen a bass drum. Simply cut them to size. I loosen my snare wires to where they hold the felt strip in place but d

First kit I’ve ever owned or played where 13-14-16 totally works. Perfect intervals. The 14” tunes nice and low and the 16” still goes much lower than that. With your eyes closed, this sounds like 13-16-18. No matter how you tune th

Brendan O’Brien trick. 421 on top, 57 on the bottom, into a single preamp using a Y-cable with the bottom part out of phase. Hands down the best tom sound I’ve ever gotten. The Gretsch toms definitely help, too. . . . . . #brendanobrien #

Blending/summing two mics 50/50 before the preamp. In this case an M88 and an M201. M88 has the fat lows and punch, M201 has the snap and sizzle. Combined they auto-EQ into a signal that naturally dips some mids you would otherwise take out with an E

Pictures don’t remotely capture the beauty of these drums. Stunning craftsmanship. Absolutely flawless. Now it’s time to swap the heads, tune ‘em up and take these bad boys for a spin. Unboxing and demo video coming soon. Special th

Been getting some questions about this so I figure I clarify. I took the original brackets off my Superstar toms and purchased suspension mounts for them. They are Worldmax DSS mounts, which I believe are identical to the mounts @drumfactorydirect se
