I have been watching the eBay postings from Metro and they keep getting refreshed for offers of Chubsters and pedal brackets. Is anyone actually getting their product that they pay for? The Buy It Now or Best Offer listing for a Chubster has been refreshed several times and seems really suspicious n...

I am just about done building and assembling the bits and pieces for my first kit. I am having trouble though locating tom posts that will work. All I see from Gibraltar are L-rods. I want to have my mounting brackets attached so that the posts go in vertically, same as the floor tom legs, but all I...

What do you guys tend to use for setting up your skins on the main drum? On my regular sit-down kit I have always used coated Emperors (or equivalent 2-ply coated head) on the batter and clear/pinstripe Ambassadors on the resonant side, with the resonant tuned higher than the batter.

I tried calling and left a message on a machine and emailed several times with no reply, no bracket either. As a last resort I thought I might be able to do something through paypal to get my money back. Luckily, the payment I made was "unclaimed" so I was able to cancel the payment. So, i...

I have sent a few emails since to clear it up but have not heard from them. I have no i...

I am a total cocktail newbie so this is as much of a new question as it is an answer to the original post. I have tried a no-hole front bass skin on my traditional drums and I always had the same problem, especially when trying to get in fast little 16th's on the kick. While I would agree that it ma...

Hi, I am planning to build my own set and I have a few questions that someone may be able to help me with. A cocktail set is a rarity in my city (part of why I want to build one) so I don't have much first hand experience with them, hence the possibly dumb questions. 3 legs or 4? 4 sounds obviously ...
