Virgil Donati - Stockholm 2007 A must see. Virgil is definitely one of the super drummers of our time. The levels that he has taken double bass drumming is absolutely amazing - check out the double stroke rolls with his feet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n--nDc_mb1Y ~~ Find us online via : https://taplink.cc/brummet ~~
Racks and stands and Clamps – oh my! Racks and stands – that vital part of a drum set or percussion rig that keeps it all together and in the right place but often gets neglected when it comes to maintaining and repairing. Threads will get stripped or tight when full of dusty road grime and it is easy to extend their life with simple, regular maintenance. Avoid over tightening of any wingnut or clamp and consider memory locks for the hardware taking considerable stress due to weight or heavy hitting. An future article will discuss memory locks in more detail. My personal routine includes cleaning and oiling ANY threads with out fail when its time for a cleaning. The regularity will depend on how dirty your instrument gets. Also the roll/split pins that attach cymbal boom arms together will loosen over time and cause a wobble to the arm. Tap them out with a small punch and replace with sufficiently tight roll pins. When it comes to my rack I check and replace any damaged rubber gaskets
