I asked my drummer to purchase the Shure Drum Mic Package ($399), http://www.guitarcenter.com/Shure-Drum-Mic-Package-101161255-i1126540.gc. He didn't like the price and said that he would look for a "better deal". In your opinion, does a better deal exist? (neglecting used gear)

No Doubt - Sunday Morning. https://youtube.com/watch?v=EUqTH9e9sQU Does the beginning snare part seem like doubles or singles to yall? thanks.

I have a 10X15X8 (WLH) rehearsal room. I am thinking of purchasing some floor monitors, because the vocalists often complain of not being able to hear themselves well enough through the pa. Should I? And if so, should they be 10", 12" or 15"? Thanks.

Hey guys. I just got A LOT of this from trash at work. The only setback, as you can see, is that it's all pink, which is a color I just can't stand. Any bright ideas? I'm also trying to come up with a good strategy/pattern to arrange them, so if you have any advice, lay it on me. Thanks.

I bought a strat, and the bridge is at an angle from the body. In other words, you can bend down or up. I find this undesireable and would like the bridge to be flush with the body. Has anyone ever made this adjustment? Should I attempt it myself or get someone else to do it? Thanks.

I have a Crate amp, and the pedal switch is a piece of shit. It has three switches, lead, rhythm, and reverb. Do I have to live with it or can I replace it with something else by Fender or something? Thanks.

I'm recording an album with my band. I love 'em. I sing and write much of the music. Naturally, I want the songs to sound good, not just my part. I was just wondering if you guys had any advice on the general issue of criticism during recording. Take 10, take 100?...where do you draw the...

I just purchased a Fender American H-S-S Strat (black). The humbucker is a "diamondback" humbucker. Does anyone know if the diamondback is the equal replacement of the atomic humbuckers of the past? There is no info. about the diamondback on Fender's site. I plan to replace the pickguard...

Unidentified percussion object....anyone ever seen one of these? What is it? @ 3:05 to end, it is suspended over his high tom.... https://youtube.com/watch?v=TC2o7G0biN0

I have always adored this guy's playing since I was a kid. Still do...but I noticed that his hands are in the sideways position a lot: thumbs up, knuckles out. I remember being taught to have your palms face downward for more flexibility. Comments/suggestions...

This seems like poor design or a defect. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? The nut does not have an even surface to mate against, as you can see in my illustration. Any advice? Thanks.

As a singer/guitar player I am naturally "note-oriented" and tune my drums as such by listening to sine wave from a keyboard. I am curious as to your own preferred tuning configurations. What size shells/what notes/intervals between toms. I'm not interested in a debate on how to tune, I've...

This is driving me crazy. If I tune the top head where I want it, the bottom head raises in pitch. If I then tune the bottom head where I want it, the top head lowers in pitch. Advice please? (I am trying to tune these heads to a 'D').

Can someone tell me what kind of pickups these are? The description says "Atomic Humbuckers" but whereever I find search they have a different appearance. Are these just chrome covers or something? Does anyone know where I can buy the pickups shown in this image? Thanks...

I absolutely love the style of these guitars, and I've been considering purchasing one. I do use a tremolo bar, and I am wondering if I can swap the hardware off the toronado to add a tremolo bar. Can it be done? Is it a bad idea? Should I settle for a strat? Thanks.

i have a hohner solid-body and it doesn't seem to be cutting it anymore. I am bending and pulling more these days and I need something that will stay in tune for the most part, (though I always tune in between songs). I really like the fender Jaguar styling, and the fender toronado is kind of...

If you're familiar with the Alesis qs keyboard, or synths in general, maybe you can help. This is not a universal problem, just with one program I am working on. I can't find what setting is causing this problem. It is an aftertouch issue. If I press the key firmly, the sound decays quickly...

I have a 5-piece Yamaha Stage Custom Kit. The lowest tom has a standard mount fixed to it's shell. I'm assuming this was designed to float from a cymbal stand. Can anyone confirm this? I see the tom ball clamp at Yamaha's site...
