Drum head advice
I am becoming a believer in the Calf Church of Sound. I'm having a grand old time working with these heads. I'm also understanding the differences i...

I came at these not searching for the K sound. I came at them as a new cymbal line (so to speak). I really like the results. It's the same mindset...

Love the kit. That's pretty sweet. Start the young on the old and seasoned instrument. Nice touch.

I love those things. Most sound really nice with that tinge of Chinese riding underneath. Definitely worth the light dough to experiment with. I wo...
