I dunno, isn't cool to have all new stuff??? it's exciting.

Even tho I realize there is nothing can really do about it nowadays, Vinnie came up in an era where all this video taping wasn't happening at the immense level it is now. And it's been, what...the last 5 years or so where all phones have video capability.....so he goes from the mid-late 70's all the...

tho he hasn't been a big part of my influences....when he hit that kid with his cane, it made me laugh.

Thanks Chris, I will check the out of round (hoops/drum) and bearing edges.

All the heads I've mentioned are brand new..no old ones. Maybe the Amb X I have is bad.

Has anybody had an experience with quality control with Yamaha?

Hey Guys, I just bought myself a Yamaha Recording Custom drumset and so far I love it. The only problem is I am having a hellava time tuning the 12x8 rack tom….the 10x7.5 and the 16 x 16 sound great and lively..but the 12x8 just seems dead and won’t ring out like the others.
