Argh changing my bass drum head the other day, and i realised when placing my (batter side) hoop isnt flat when placed on a flat surface. Its not an aweful amount by any means, but its enough so you could rock it a little bit on the floor.

Is this serious?! Cuz if so im gnna have to get in conact with my local dealer (not THAT dealer) and see about getting a new one. Although cuz its from the older series its gnna be a bit hard to find one that matches I suppose, ugh student with money issues here


On a lighter note, I bought some aquarian kick pads today and some vic firth nylon 5as

Probably. It would cause uneven tuning. Somebody stepped on my 18" floor tom rim, so I had to replace it cause it sounded like *** when I tried tuning.

On a lighter note, today I played triplets with one hand and quarters, 8th and 16ts today with the other and vice versa for the first time today.

Really not that hard , but considering how I never really tried before I thought it was a kinda neat
