You can be a great drum maker / assembler but a terrible business man, I guess. I feel badly for the people on this site that have sent their money & gotten nothing in return. Maybe, eventually, the guy will make good on his promises as people tend to have long memories over these types of things.

Any head is always good!!! Actually, to be honest with you, from your post, it sounds like you got the head / sound question pretty much in control. My experiences, (which are by no means, exhaustive) are that 2 ply heads are a little bit more deadening/dampening than single ply heads. If you like t...

Hey Dennis, a little feedback here. One thing I'm sure you've noticed here on the lounge is that the users are very adaptable when it comes to making things work for non-standard applications. To that end, I would recommend putting inside dimensions for your cases right along with the description, a...

Do you want a brand new kit or just new to you? If you are careful you should be able to find a used kit on e-bay for well under 500. The only new kit(s) I'm familiar with are the club Jordans (Yamaha) and they are very solid kits. Not made new anymore, you will have to find used. I, personally, am ...

This is one of my favorite kits to play and has one of the best bass drum sounds I have yet to find, don't forget I'm playing the main drum as bass drum only so I can tune it accordingly. http://www.cocktaildrum.com/rap/gallery2.p...
