Who'd have thought it would be difficult to find a good quality maple 16 or 18 inch floor tom? This is dumb. I really want to play this kit.

I like pencils. I think even Jack has used a pencil or two in his lifetime.

Found my 18 inch tom. Vintage ludwig. Almost the same finish as my kick drum. I'll probably multi-purpose it...

Indeed. If you like that one, try the Vater Stuart Copeland signature. It is a .555 diameter stick (the Jack D is .565, same as the vic firth X5A), but feels a little more solid to me (Vater's hickory seems to be more dense than Vic's). The Pro-Mark 707 (hickory = Simon Phillips sig, white oak = Ed Shaughnessy sig) is similar. The Copeland has an oval bead and the 707 has more of a round bead tip. Both are really good for articulate cymbal work, at least that's why I like them.

I have a Slingerland 18x10 concert tom (single-headed) that I'm going to use as a jungle kick drum. It sounded OK as a floor tom, but I think that it'll function better with an EMAD, Impact, or SuperKick.

Alright, so, I've got the T-rods, claws, hoop, new heads for it, bent the legs for it, and it sounds fucking AWESOME. 10/14 toms sound good.

I need a snare, pedals, and cymbals, then I'm done buying shit for the rest of the year... maybe.


The Axis Longboards I've been experimenting with eat fat dick. They're fun, and fast as fuck, but even with wood beaters, they don't give me the feeling of really digging into the head.

so, I'm gonna pick up a second set of Iron Cobras, or perhaps DW9000's if I can stomach the 474 dollar price tag, if I can't find them used.

Anyone got a snare they wanna send me? Or extra iron cobras? I'll compensate with dirty emails between RacerX and I...

Just swung a set of 14in New Beats for 60 bucks. Now all I need is crashes and a ride..

Axis pedals aren't made for power, that's for sure. My DW 9002 was a great pedal. Took me a bit of tweaking to get them to really pound, but once you get there, they're smooth and vicious.

Snare acquired! Joey Jordison fag snare with the S's all over it.

Lots of sanding to be done tomorrow... I have to sand off all that black paint, and then reshoot it, or polish the fuck out of it.

I've never played a 13" snare. They sound good, but I don't think I could get used to the feel.

At one time I had a pacific 5x13 maple that was a nice snare. It had a nice, fat rimshot for a smaller drum. I don't go for anything below a 14 these days.

I have a couple of 10x15 Slingerland marching snares out in the garage that are in rough shape, but still have hoops (thank fuck) and lugs. They're kind of far down the project list though.

The most recent restore I did was a mostly rust-coated steel 6.5x14 first gen Pearl free floater. A friend found it in an abandoned rental house they were clearing out. After aluminum foil, 0000 steel wool, and polishing it looks and sounds godly. It weighs a ton, too. That's another "flip" that I'll never get rid of.

Pearl Eliminator (P-2002C NOT demon drive) is a nice heavy pedal that can deliver the thump as well.

I'be been drooling over a few 15 and even 16 inch snares.  My 14x14 sounds killer but it's a little too tall to position comfortably. I've been looking at Pearl's free floating 14x12 marching snares,  but 15x10 would be fantastic. If you're looking to unload one of those in the next couple of months, shoot me a bmail (or whatever they're called now).
