Yes, Dream cymbals all 'round! Love the gentle sound in quite rooms, but when they need to, the really cut through.

LOL, standing drummer, seated conga player.

LOL, "Standing gig" Of course it is, your'e a cocktail drummer!

I've been away a while too, but not for the very good reason you have. Good to see you, and good to be seen as well. Peace Brother, and good drumming to you (even if you are sitting)

The snare is on the only extra stand. Hats are actually attached to the snare drum itself. Both cymbal arms are mounted to the main drum. Incidentally, Dane Clark also used a separate stand for his piccolo snare, when he played with John Mellencamp at Farm Aid.

As expected, it was a bit quieter than his standard kit, and the cymbal wasn't mic'd, but all in all, a good sound.

Today, after almost a year, and multiple unsuccessful head changes and tweaks on the bottom of my Trixon elite, I finally got a sound I like...by changing the beater. On a whim, I picked up a Vater Bomber fleece beater. When I installed it, I instantly I heard the warm, low, vintage sound I desired ...

I've decided to go with the Pearl pedal. Works great!

Anyone know if the DW 3000 pedal has a fully adjustable beater angle? Found a new one on CL for cheap, and was thinking I would convert it, but not if the angle can't be adjusted to where I like it. Another option is a Pearl 900 series which I KNOW IS FULLY ADJUSTABLE and the same price (new) as the...

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum! Happy holidays everyone!
