Re: 16x16 kick tuning

I've owned a lot of 16" bassdrum kits from the Sonor Jungle, the Yamaha Rick Marotta as well as the Gretsch Catalina club kit. I currently have a converted 16X16 Ludwig floor tom from 1968. That is the one which is probably closest to what you are using. My suggestion would be this. Remove the ...

Re: The current Trixon cocktail kits

As promised, here is a recording I made tonight... I used an AKG-C1000S into Garageband and recorded the movie with a Canon Vixia HRF-20 HD camcorder... The sound you are hearing came through a really decent mic, not the on board audio from the camera. This is one of the tunes in the Jon Riley Art o...

Re: The current Trixon cocktail kits

I just got mine from Jim Laab. I ordered on the phone. Eric (in the guitar dept.) helped me. I asked what was in stock and what his opinions were of the finishes. He let me know that they were out of stock on the cymbals and gave me a $20 credit on the kit (their cost for the cymbal packs). It arriv...
