I have been on quite a quest for a good pair of mini hi-hats. Tonight I found something I'd never seen. At guitar center in minneapolis they had a set of 12" Tosco hats. Apparently they were an italian cymbal, bought out at some point by sabian who later quit making them. I guess sabian has sta...

I'd love one, but PMs are disabled here so can you post it somewhere?

Maybe you could post the pictures you used if you can't get the publisher file to pdf?

I don't know anything about the kit you describe, but welcome to the forum. Feel free to post some pics if you can. Cheers.

I'm all in favor of sports illustrated models posing with cocktail drums. That would sell for sure. :-)

John,

I am starting up a forum for a group that I belong to. I would like to try to do a sponsorship shopping program like you have here... how do you set that up? I'd PM you but it seems to be disabled. Thanks.

I have a lead on a DW7000 on craigs list locally. Anyone tried to convert one of those?

After your last suggestion of this pedal I read a bunch of reviews, and it gets a lot of thumbs-down for quality of construction. I was planning to get one, but those comments scared me off. Can you offer any insight on that issue? Thanks.

Sure thing. I've been slow to do it because once I get heads sounding nice I'm always afraid to take them down, for fear of not getting them to sound good again. I do like the timbale sound, but I also want to experiment. Some evening this week perhaps.

I am happy to do this, and word is that it supports the site, that's nice. Does it actually generate enough income to cover the costs?

Ok that one is clear. I'll hold out for that.

tikifreak: Another question: Is your Aquarian Performance II coated or clear? I went to find one tonight and found only a coated version. I don't suppose it would matter that much but I'm still curious. Thanks.

I bought a pair of ebony pinstripe heads for the LP mini timbales tonight so I can try out the sound using them as toms instead of timps. I was poking around at a local shop and found them quite cheap ($5 each!), so I decided to try them out. I will try to post some video to share the sound, as soon...

The head is an Aquarian Performance II. It has a built in muffler ring around the outer edge and is designed for low tuning. It might be a full two-ply, or maybe just a second ply ring around the outer edge, I'm not sure. Aquarian kick drum heads don't come in sizes smaller than 18", so the Pe...

Yeah, the $150 is what I'm trying to avoid. That's a good price though. I may have to defer this to phase two of the project and ping you then. Thanks! Ok then. Though if I'm lucky I won't still have it. :-) I know they're pricey, but I had sold another drum set when i started building my mini-kit,...
