DD45 Digital Drum Machine Review

We bought this for my 10-year old son who is taking drum lessons, but returned it because the pads are too small and just isn't the real thing. Ordered a real drum set instead.

Gibraltar SC-BDHG Bass Drum Hoop Guard 2/Pack Review

Gibraltar SC-BDHG Bass Drum Hoop Guard 2/Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought a used drum set and it came with this ugly metal hoop clamp which did not look aesthetically pleasing and it mounted with a screw! I took that ugly clamp off and cleaned the area. I was actually looking for one of those Tama hoop savers when I came across this Gibraltar unit. The Tama piece is nothing more than a thick sticker and only protects a small amount of the flat side of the hoop. It's common sense that the part of the hoop that takes the most abuse will be the edge. This drum hoop guard solves that problem because it goes slightly over the edge of the hoop.
I like this design because it is rubber and provides cushioning from any vibration or squeak that the pedal contact with the hoop might cause.
I have a black lacquered hoop and this unit matches perfectly. It will of course look good with any other color as it is the perfect size and disappears under the pedal.
Just make sure that before you install it, you clean the hoop thoroughly to remove any dirt or any type of wax residue otherwise the adhesive will not stick properly. What I did was cleaned the area, placed the hoop guard on and held it tightly for a minute. So far, it has not come off. The adhesive is not the strongest so the cleaning is important and once you install it, don't try to take it off and try to reposition it as the adhesive will go away.
The unit is cheap protection and a good value at the price. Gibraltar makes another model if you want to use it with a metal hoop. This unit is for wood hoops.
EDIT: The adhesive on the bottom of the product is not very sticky. After repeated attachment/reattachment of the pedal, the hoop guard will come off. Right now, my hoop guard is just sitting on the hoop and my pedal is holding it there. If I take the pedal off, the hoop guard will fall off. I wish the adhesive was much stronger but you can always use your own adhesive.

Remo Pinstripe PrePak Drumheads with Coated Snare Head Review

Remo Pinstripe PrePak Drumheads with Coated Snare Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Sweet. Remo is second to none when it comes to drumheads - that's the first thing you need to know. From the Kevlar WhiteMax to the oil-filled pinstripes you can always find something in your size, tone, and price range. This is one of my favorite sets when paired with tone rings, and then I tune them until I can get a nice soft yet punchy attack, with a beautiful warm decay (I'll tune down my bottom head to heighten the effect). Very versatile when covering multiple genres. Now, on to the coated snare head.
I personally love the simplicity of a coated Powerstroke-3. I love how they are built to minimize overtones, and I find them very responsive at all stick heights. Most likely what your school snares have on them, though the coating has long since been beaten off from years of use. I wonder if anyone has thought to use Amazon reviews as a blog - aside from me thinking about it right now...

This cymbal cleaner does a fine job removing excess grime from your precious cymbals. I use all Paiste(Giant Beat and 2002 series), and this stuff keeps them going strong. I do recommend following with the Paiste cymbal protector as well.

The product was great, when we finally received it. Seller marked the product as "shipped," when it was actually on back-order. Took a month to get the product, and we had to inquire several times in order to get the status of the shipment.

DW Drum Workshop SM101 Two-Way Bass Drum Beater Review

DW Drum Workshop SM101 Two-Way Bass Drum Beater
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Used this beater to replace a wood, ball beater I'd used for 20 years. Used it on a gig where drums were provided and loved the weight, sound, and especially the balance. I'm using the hard felt side of this reversible beater and it delivers a solid whack, with just enough high overtones to offer definition. The balance can be fine tuned via a memory lock-style collar on the beater shaft. The beater provides as much leverage as you'd like, but can be adjusted to also provide very quick feedback on doubles.

Aquarian Drumheads SKII22 Super-Kick II Double Ply 22-inch Bass Drum Head Review

Aquarian Drumheads SKII22 Super-Kick II Double Ply 22-inch Bass Drum Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you are reading this, then you are at least a little but curious about what Aquarian's Super kick II has to offer.
In 6 years of drumming, I have yet to find another kick head that matches up to this one. Simply put, it is the best thing out there. This bass drum head is great for several different reasons:
1. Extremely durable- You can beat the snot right out of this thing and it will hold up very well. The material is very strong, and there are TWO layers of it for extra strength.
2. Sounds incredible!- Its true. This bass drum head will completely transform the sound of your kit. I have thrown one of these on some of the crappiest kick drums ever crafted, and even they sounded good with it. I get compliments all the time on my kick. Super punchy and consistent.
3. Doesn't need muffling. For a live application, this head needs little to no padded muffling. Even in a normal house or practice room setting, the built in dual muffle rings act as a perfect device for keeping this drum head under control. If you want to add a little punch, throw in a very small t-shirt and it takes the edge off a bit.
I have even heard die hard Evans fans rave about these kick heads, they are just the best out there!

Drum Tuning: Sound & Design Review

Drum Tuning: Sound and Design
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Come December 14th, it will mark 41 years since my very first drum lesson. In all these many years, I have practiced numerous hours and spoken to scores of fellow percussionists. Seldom has anyone, including myself, had much significant contribution in the area of drum tuning. We all just sort of wing it with what we perceive as a "good" sound.
Bob Gatzen has forever altered my thinking and approach to drum tuning. Bob has finally revealed the hidden mystery of maximizing the unrealized potential of every drum.
If you think that you know everything about drumming, Bob will surely blow your mind.
Hey Bob, if you ever read this: where were you in 1962, when I really needed you???
Respects to All,
Rick Rabineau
