We tend to talk a lot about the importance of maintaining the drums that we have. I recognize talking can only go so far, so I had to show y’all what I was talking about. This was a maintenance job I did on the DW Collector Series drum kit that I get to play on often. The sizes for this kit are a 14” snare drum, 12” rack tom, 14” floor tom, 16” floor tom, and 22” kick drum. I did a maintenance job on this same kit in May, although plenty of events have happened since then, and this kit needed a refresher. This time around, all the drums on the kit were getting new Batter side drum heads, shell refreshing, mounting screws tightened, cleaned, and re-tuned. I changed it up this time with drumheads and did Evans on everything! On the Tom’s, I went with Clear EC2S, which are 2-ply of 7mil giving opened yet focused sound. With the kick drum, I used the EMAD Heavyweight Clear drum heads, which are 2-ply of 10mil that provide a nice punchy yet durable kick sound. Lastly, I used a Coated Heavyweight on the snare, which also has a 2-ply of 10mil and a reverse dot for more durability. By far, this is the best this snare drum has sounded! I’ve tried so many drum heads on this snare drum, and I think I finally got the one. As you can hear, the after-maintenance sounds tighter, more focused, and lively than before. PS: I made sure I vacuumed the drum carpet as well. You can’t forget about that! Stay creative, and have a great rest of the week. Love you, guys!! Okay. Byeeeee. 🥁🤓👊🏻❤️🙏🏻 —
