Oh my. Now she's hooked. I hope you've got all the basses you want, 'cause now you're gonna be doin' bigger and mo' betta' drums!!

Porting---I don't know. They said removing the hoods on ol' vee-dub bugs was bad too. After all, the Germans engineer stuff right the first time. I heard it would actually ruin the air flow, cause your engine to burn, etc. My point is this: there will be those who'll tell you if the Drum Gods wanted...

Welcome! Things can be a little slow around here. I suspect most of the members are working a couple of jobs to support their habits! Cheap kits....hmm....well, I bought a GP cocktail off e-bay, so you probably can't get much cheaper than that. I was my first kit, and the only thing I've done is rep...

Lizard won't fit into the case, eh? Too bad! Having a "Cool Cat" at gigs would be a hoot!

Have you tried picking up a fur brush and looking meaningfully in his direction? Bet he'll FIND a way to fit then!!

Very cool! Tell me--what are you using for a throne? I've yet to find something suitable. Mostly everything seems too low.

Which of your kits was that, by the way?

Hmmm....on the other hand, MY Iron Cobra has turned out to be my best pedal! LOL! To each their own, I guess!

Aww, nutz! All the luggage in our house is soft-sided! That turned out really cool--sort of an "neo-urban" look. Have you posted any sound samples yet?

Whew! Very minimalist! Love the "air kick drum!"

I also would miss my tom. The cheezy little kit I use now has an external demi-snare, an external tom, and of course the top head of the kick. I have also put together "minimalist" kit, with a full size floor bass and 14" snare, but I always feel as though something is missing in the ...

Xlnt! Of course, you'll have to post photos--all cocktail drum porn gratefully accepted!

Say, the cart is a nifty idea....


...but that Rogers kit is just KOOL!!!!


Cocktail drum porn at it's finest!

Sounds like you're a working musician. As such--and maybe those with more knowledge will chime in here--the two brands you've mentioned are both high-quality kits that should be able to take a beating. My own limited experience with cocktail kits has led me to the realization that, a) there are not ...

I have added an old but nice sounding 13X10 rack tom, which I mount on a concert snare stand. I now have a complete roll in 4ths up and down the kit. :D I know stand vs. sitting has been discussed here before. I want to have the ability to do both. As such, this kit is sort of morphing into a "...

That's gotta be it. I've played guitar on and off for most of my life as well, and whenever you buy a new guitar, you junk the "store strings" that came on it before you even take it out of the case at home! :roll: Been experimenting with "moon gel" as well, and I am geting very ...

Couldn't stand it...recovered the batter heads with Remo Ambassadors. Suprise! The drums tune and ring nicely, now! Should have never tried messing with the stock heads....
