Heyo!

What is up?

So I finally got all my drum pieces I ordered... it feels incredible getting new stuff for your instrument... its like Christmas all over again. Anyways, I thought I would give a review on my new-found stuff for you musicians/drummers, and people just interested in knowing whats the best stuff to get.

Personaly I have been drumming for the better part of 12 years or so and I have used a very wide variety of drums... Pearl, Ludwig, Tama, Yamaha, Sonor, Gretsch and U-Drum. Each of these companies have great stuff, but the Bar (for me) has been set incredibly high by Gretsch. Seriously.... these guys have been making drums before we were making cars... 125 years ago! When I bought my Gretsch set about a year ago, it was love at first sight and I can honestly say I will probably never buy anything but Gretsch (with the exception of endorsements ofcourse... lol). The tone quality from the Ash wood projects very clearly and has a crisp quality to them. They have the sound quality of a $2,000+ drumset at a fraction of the price. 10/10

I also recently bought the Gibraltar stealth racking system. It is hard to explain what exactly it is but I basically eliminates cymbal stands and the clutter that comes with setting up mic stands. Example -------->

It is a brilliant innovation for drummers and ESPECIALLY for churches because it removes the clutter from cymbals and mic stands (especially when your using a shield) and it makes setup and tear down much faster. Cymbals and other stands like snare stands can attach right into it eliminating the tri-pod stands for each, giving more room and faster set up times... and for me thats GREAT NEWS.

I know this post might not be useful or everyone, but I wanted to give some advice to musicians out there and also to worship leaders who might need some ideas for new merch to purchase. I like to pretend I know what I am talking about... so thanks for listening.

Like always, here is what I am listening to right now... Fleet Foxes new debut song for their album "Helplessness blues" which comes out May 3rd and is also the title of the song. It is amazing and I strongly suggest you check out the link.
