Roland TD-12KXS V-Stage Electronic Drum Kit [REVIEW]
May 9th
I’ve always been a little sceptical about Electric / Electronic Drum Kits simply because they’re just not the same as a traditional acoustic Drum Kit. But I reckon companies such as Roland with their V-Drum products are almost on the money with producing the right feel and sound to make me seriously consider purchasing an Electronic Drum Kit. Maybe I’ve been ignorant to the vast improvements over the years, but at least I hope that’s about to change.
After watching a few YouTube videos of different reviews, solos and covers of people using Electronic Kits, I stumbled upon Roland’s TD-12KX V-Stage Electronic Drum Kit. And More >

Why Buy An Electric Drum Set?
Apr 30th
Why should you consider buying an Electric Drum Set over an Acoustic Drum Set? To help you in you purchase decision, I’ve outlined some of the benefits of Electric Drum Sets.
- Electric Drum Sets are almost silent when played. This means you can practice anywhere and anytime with privacy. No more dedicated time to play during the day and no curfews!
- Use headphones on your Electric Drum Set and play as loud as you want without disturbing the neighbors.
- You can create unique sound simulations like being in a concert hall or rock stadium at the press of a button.
- Electric Drum Sets offer hundreds of drum and other percussion sounds such as Rock Drum Sets, Jazz Drum More >

TAMA Iron Cobra Coil Power Glide Double Bass Drum Pedal Review [HP900PSW]
Dec 26th
If you’re thinking about purchasing a new drum pedal for your kit, make sure you don’t overlook the TAMA Iron Cobra Power Power Glide Double Bass Drum Pedal.
The HP900PSW from TAMA is incredibly smooth and durable due to innovative features like the “Cobra Coil” pedal spring that quickly returns the footboard to its original position for a quicker, more natural feel.
It’s further proof of TAMA’s never-ending desire (and ability) to make good things better. Sturdier than before. More adjustable than before. More features than before…and just when you thought the Iron Cobras were good enough…

Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive Double Bass Drum Pedal Review
Feb 1st
Today I had a look at the new Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive Double Bass Drum Pedal and let me tell you, I was impressed! It sure is a pretty little piece of equipment.
Pearl believes it is “THE FASTEST, SMOOTHEST, MOST VERSATILE PEDAL IN THE WORLD”.
The Pearl Eliminator Demon Drive features what is called “Duo-Deck”, which is the world’s first convertible footboard – meaning you can adjust the pedal to be shortboard or longboard based, depending on your personal preference. What an absolute genius idea!?!
But this isn’t the only awesome feature the Eliminator sports. It also has:
The Click Lock prevents the tension knob from loosening. More >

Jan 15th
Today I came across and interesting thread about why modern drummers are shrinking their drum set and cymbals.
It seems that there is a common trend these days to reduce the number of drums and cymbals on the drum set. This is particularly interesting given that during the 70′s and particularly 80′s, many rockstar drummers had massive drum sets that sometimes seemed a little over the top. This trend was seen especially among heavy metal and hard rock drummers such as Van Halen, Neil Peart, and Simon Phillips and I suppose even Phil Collins from Genesis was up there.
