clamp on style mufflers
Hey Multiperc, Hopefully you'll be able to see pics of Rogers style clamp on mufflers. The pics should show what they can do. You can swing them out or in towards hoop, and dial them on or off drum head surface. When I use on bottom head I like to dial them off a little more. I think one of the pics...

I tried playing standing up yesterday. Man, it's awesome! It's so...liberating. I mounted a closed hi-hat on my righ...

two ning
I have been playing dance style drums on a sit down set for quite a few years and recently decided to pull out the old WFL (16X24) out of mothballs to play in situations where the band doesn't have enough room. One thing I noticed on the bass drum sound is that a big, round, softer beater head ( min...
