Re: My Gretsch Brooklyn kit

That's a really nice looking kit, well finished and classy. Perhaps you bass drum disappointment stems for the 14" diameter, but you should still get a decent thump out of that with the right heads. I've been impressed with the performance of a couple of Aquarian heads - especially the Aquarian...

Just added a couple of timbales. They are a 6" and 8" chrome set, recovered in my custom Bum Wraps wrap.

Re: TAMA launches cocktail kit

Good point. I don't see why they couldn't have gone with a deeper bass. That said, I haven't heard the kit yet, and maybe the layout and position of the snare reso head might enhance the bass response. I'll update this after NAMM if they have one on show there.

TAMA launches cocktail kit

Tama Silverstar Cocktail-Jam Kit Unlike conventional cocktail sets, Tama's new four-piece Silverstar Cocktail-Jam kit gives drummers an actual 16" bass drum rather than simply using the bottom of a floor tom. What's more, the kit's shallow shells and unique positioning hardware offer the option...

Trixon review

Anyone thinking of getting a Trixon kit, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZBr6onTZDU

Billy Blast Happy Hour

The wrap is sturdy and easy to install - and it's totally removable if you ever want to revert to the original finish. The design is my own custom graphic based on...
