Great stand for small spaces
If you need a snare drum you can play with your hands, look no further. This is a great instrument!
I bought this to go with an 18" Paiste Formula 602 thin crash. The paper thin "opens up" very easily. Hit softly it sounds excellent with a dark, slightly complex tonal character. Hit hard and I think it gets just a bit brash. Hitting the two crashes together is my favorite.
I have been using Calftones for quite awhile now and I think they're the best drum heads around. The look, the feel under the stick, and the sound are all spot on. Would recommend for any style except hard rock or comparable genres. As usual, Portsmouth was spot on with their service. These guys are always dependable from large to small orders.
Excellent and reliable service fast delivery, thank you
Great guys to work with. Experienced and knowledgable. My #1 Go to drum shop.
Every drummer needs this book, along with the other 3! My abilities have doubled in a few months. And I've been playing for 35 years.
Perfect replacement for my 70s 3ply Ludwig.
i liked the little extra grip, especially in summer time playing an outdoor gig.
A very practical item—thank you to your store for your excellent service
Perfect fit for my 65 Slingerland.
I used Zildjian Dip 2Bs for years. My hands sweat, I don't like gloves or wristbands. I don't even wear jewelery when I play (shoes either. TMI?)
Zildjian stopped making them. I called to see if I could put in an order for a run of 144 sticks and they said NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! So i've been trying other sticks, but nothing works like the Dip Sticks. The Promark Rebound are about the closest I've found to fill the void. Damn You Zildjian. Thank you Promark. And Thank you Drum Center for your help in this matter. Great Store.
Tuned it up with the stock heads and was thoroughly impressed. Being a jazz guy, I will be experimenting with different head combos to see what works best for my needs. As of now (with the stock heads) I’m loving the medium, medium high tuning. So glad I pulled the trigger on this beauty.
I would give it 10 stars if I could!!! Wish I invented this! Makes changing heads fast and easy without needing a drill or batteries! Just toss it in your stick bag! It’s always ready!
