    SNare

    How can I get a snare drum that sounds like Josh Freese's, in the aspect that the snares themselves are very prominent? Short sustain, with lots of the snare rattling in them... DO heads, types of snares, and hoops affect it?

    Superstar

    I got a Tama Superstar for $800 from my drum teacher. The thing is amazing. Its like... 25-30 years old. It is so much better than today's Superstars. I fucking love this set.

    Tom hardware

    Are Sonor 400 series tom mounts sturdy? I mean, if I mount them on the bass drum, will they be knocked out of place if I hit hard? Because I did have one chance to plya a SOnor FOrce 3005, but I didn't play hard, so I didn't see anything wrong with the mounting system... But I'm asking because...

    New set woes

    Heres my problem... after thinking, I decided it would be best to buy 2 Sonor Force 3005 drum sets (one studio set, one fusion set), and combine them into one really big set. The problem is, none of the drum set options have a 24x17.5 bass drum, just 22x17.5. I tried emailing a place to see if...

    Confused about drum set

    I got my drum set from eBay, and its a cheap piece of crap. Further more, I didn't even assemble it, so I have a question about drum sets. I don't want to buy a set of drums, but instead I want to buy several drums individually. For example, Sonor orce 3005 doesn't have any drum sets with...
