Product Description

Hickory is the most popular wood used for making drumsticks. Hickory is denser, heavier and more rigid than maple. Hickory can also absorb a great amount of shock, which reduces hand and wrist fatigue. Dark, or "brown hickory", is found closer to the trees center and is slightly denser and heavier than "white?hickory". Each stick is crafted with impeccable consistency to give you a quality stick, guaranteed straight. Full round tip on long shaft for rock and roll. Extra reach and punch for today's big drum kits. ... Read more

Clumsy to use
I am always changing heads on my drum kits and purchased this speed key to make the task easier.However, it isn't as easy as the design would lead one to believe.

The problem is the crank part of this key does not extend far enough horizontally, and the shank is too short to hold upright.This results in the key going to a natural angle when you are spinning it, which slows you down at best, and could damage your lugs at worse.

I recommend, instead, using the Evans Drum Key Pack (ASIN B0002M3BKC), which includes a magnetized drum key in regular "T" configuration, and a drill bit drum key that will make short work of spinning the lugs. Also be aware that if you do opt for the Evans solution I recommend, make sure you have a low-torque drill.

When it comes to drum lugs less is better because you only want to spin them hand tight and finish with a traditional key or a tuning key.The drill I recommend is the Campbell Hausfeld DG110400CD Mini Compact Drill with Keyless Chuck (ASIN DG110400CD).This is a compact and inexpensive drill that does not have much power or torque.Finally, I recommend final tuning with either a Rhythm Tech Memo Key (ASIN B0002E2EOE), or an EvansTorque tuning key (ASIN B0002D0HZI).Either of those will allow you to quickly get your heads in perfect tuning once you have done an initial tuning and have written down the settings. ...

Product Description

Long Beach California native Adrian Young auditioned for the band No Doubt in 1989 with scarcely one year playing experience to his name, and he landed the gig. Adrian quickly proved himself to be a very solid and creative musician. His infectious rock/ska-flavored rhythms helped No Doubt achieve multiplatinum status with their 1995 major-label release, "Tragic Kingdom." Adrian has been able to masterfully blend his various rock, ska, and punk influences to develop a playing style which compliments his band and serves each song very well. After playing with the Vandals on a 2-week European tour, Adrian spent the better part of 2000 on the road with No Doubt in support of their release "Return of Saturn." ... Read more

Excellent way to prolong bass head life
I am not a loud player since I do mostly jazz and acoustic sets, but my primary drum kits (a Tama Stagestar and Groove Percussion Travel Kit) come with smaller bass drums that require me to use tom tom heads.The Stagestar's 18" head does not present the main problem, but the Groove Percussion kit with its 16" bass drum requires that I use tom tom heads.To protect the heads on both kits and prolong their life I use these EQ patches (the single for the Groove Percussion kit, and double for the Tama).

One of the best things about this patch is it does not change the sound or tone at all.After going through fits getting the Groove Percussion kit's bass drum tuned I appreciate the fact that sound dynamics remain the same before and after the patch is applied.More importantly, I have confidence that my bass drum heads will not need replacing due to wear for quite some time because these patches absorb all of the wear and tear. ...

Sanity saver
I tried every tuning trick in the book attempting to get the 16x16 bass that came with my Groove Percussion Travel Kit (ASIN B0006JKC3U) to sound right.

Square bass drums (same diameter and depth) are notoriously difficult to tune, and no matter which tension setting I used, or what I stuffed inside to dampen the ring and overtones without choking the warmth I was seeking, I just cound not get there until I purchased this ingenious pad.

Careful placement using the multiple gate design of 'pillows' brought about a magic transformation from a cantankerous bass drum that seemed to have its own ideas about sound, to a sweet, warm sounding bass that does what I want it to do. ... Read more

Best design on the market
I've used a number of different stick holders, each with limitations. Some held a single pair, others clamped onto a stand, but the clamp would slip, either getting in your way, or placing the sticks out of reach when you most needed them (usually right after they had slipped beyond reach).

This holder stays put, is durable, and can hold at least a dozen pairs of sticks.

Be aware that if you use different size sticks during a gig you will be fumbling around, but if you routinely use a single stick size this holder is excellent. ... Read more
