Drew: thanks *so* much for the Napa info - you're a god! I just bought a 15" drum and was bumming...cool!<br> <br> Jason: have you considered those "lug-lock"-type thingy's to prevent rods from backing out? I've seen several such products - usually some kinda enhanced gizmo which repl...

Thank you very much for the kind words...any feedback is good, but positive feedback is even better! <br> <br> To answer your questions about my drum, it's 28" deep. Are you ready for this - it's actually the larger drum from an old 1965 Ludwig conga pair! In case you aren't familiar: the Ludwi...

Thanks so much for your post, Roger. I would have never heard about this otherwise.<br> <br> It looks GREAT - especially considering the price! I think I'm gonna have to ante-up my $345 and check one out...has anyone actually heard/seen one of these rigs "in the flesh" yet? If so, please p...

If you're like most cocktail drummers, you're probably not quite satisfied with your drum's kick sound. After much trial and error, I discovered a new type of head from Remo called a "BahiBass" head. It's made of a rather thick black vinyl, almost like a Naugahyde, and are intended for a n...
