STOP THAT LOUD RACKET!!! With HQ SoundOff Drum Mutes!!
Posted By Randall on August 25, 2010
So, as it goes for drummers in Hawaii, you either practice on an electronic kit, or a practice pad. Can’t use the ol’ drum set because you live 5 feet from the neighbors, right? WRONG!
Get some HQ SoundOff Mutes on that kit! And get to practicing!!
As a beginner drummer myself, I had to find a way to silence my kit so I can practice in my garage. So, I found the HQ SoundOff Mutes to be my perfect tool. With these, I can practice with up to 95% volume reduction, while retaining feel and bounce on the kit!
In the video, we demonstrate how easy these mutes are to attach to the set, as well as a before and after with the mutes both on and off the kit. For added silence, turn off the snares on your snare drum!
Roland and Boss product support ? They are on it!

Hey folks,
I recently took a trip to sunny L.A. to visit Roland USA headquarters located in Commerce, California.
It was basically a training trip to learn more about the company, its history, and its products.
But the biggest surprise was its customer service department. I got to see first-hand how it works and how truly amazing it is.
Cool drum app for iPhone!

Check out this cool app for the iPhone! The Benny Greb Drum Trainer lets you make tons of different backbeat combinations for practice or teaching. This app is really making my practice routine challenging, and I’m sure if I ever teach drums I’ll be using this app to help students out!

Whoa, definitely not for your jazz gig! We just got this Pearl limited edition 14×7 maple snare and it stands out from the crowd with its spiked tube lug design.
Beef Up Your Kick Drum!!
Posted By Paul on August 1, 2010
Here’s a little video I made on how to beef up your kick drum sound for a live gig. I just bought the JBL PRX518S powered subwoofer, which I’ll be using for my gigs from now on, to beef up my own kick drum. After hooking up one of our Mapex kits at the store, I decided I gotta have it!! It may be hard to distinguish the sound quality in the video, but in person you can feel the kick drum in your chest as you would in a large venue setting.
