I've always dreamed of having a thread I created on HOD turn into a heated discussion about Trad vs. Matched!!!! I feel like Steve should give out gold stars when that happens!!! hahaha I play both- depending on the band but I don't think you can physically get the same volume and sound out of a sna...

I saw a quick tweet from Matt Chamberlain today that he's in rehearsals with Soundgarden- but it was immediately deleted??? Be cool if it's true!!!

The best drum school in North America- I feel like although I paid for my education- they gave me a career. All the folks running it are NYC bred so they just got caught up in BS I'm sure. I sincerely hope they can rise above this and continue their amazing work.

Many years ago, their soundman told a friend and we tried it- Take the Supra, Put a CS coated black dot on top- put an EMPORER clear on the bottom with a 40 strand snare. Tune em up! "Coink!!" there it is!

A good friend of mine just had the same problem with the same new drum and size- turned out to be an uneven bearing edge on the bottom! very out of character and Yamaha replaced it immediately with no fuss.

Long time member here- occasional poster- I've toured with Jeff Bowders (he's freaking incredible) and I'm also a huge fan of Jeff Indyke, Mike Johnston and Steve Holmes because they are actively showing us how to improve- and honestly? I've learned a ton from each of them through the generosity tha...
