  -- Quote of the Day -- “...I was a professional musician for most of my life  and so for me when I sit down to write, it is like playing music – I hear the rhythm and the sounds of the words…  for me it is about the whole visceral impact of the words…  how they sound; how they move.  …so when I sit down to type it is like playing piano  or playing keyboard.  Writing feels like singing, it is like music coming out.” ~ Lynn Serafinn ~~  www.BrummetMedia.ca ~~

Drum Handling Equipment and Storage  *Written by Don Goodwin  The basic categories for drum handling equipment are dollies, cradles, lifters, carriers, and dumpers. For drum storage there are racks, cradle systems, and drum pallets. Drum dollies can be in a style very much like standard dollies, but designed to hold the round shape of drums. Although there are some variations of these dollies most function in a similar manor. Other styles of dollies can be round or oval carts that are pulled by a handle. The drum sits in the drum dolly in an upright position, and come in single and two drum models. Similar to this style of dolly is a drum cradle.  The drum cradle looks somewhat like a wheel barrow without the bucket. The drum sits horizontal on the cradle then it is lifted and pushed by the handles. The drum cradles are a great option if you want to be able to pour from the drum as well as move it with one piece of equipment. Drum dollies can range in price from $50 - $60...

How To Tune Toms * Written by Gregory A Hill - Musician, Audio Engineer, and Music Producer.  Toms, or Tom-Toms, are the glue that holds our drum kits together. Whether you have two or twelve, each provide a means of movement throughout a musical piece. When tuned correctly, they can be our favourite drums to play. Tuning the Toms can be daunting at first, but once you've grasped the techniques outlined in this tutorial, you will be amazed at how awesome your drums will sound. This tutorial assumes you are putting new drum heads on your tom. If you're using older heads and want to follow the tutorial, just evenly loosen the tension rods on both sides of the drum and remove the rods, hoops, and heads to start anew. I prefer to begin with the resonant or bottom side of the drum. This lets us focus on the fundamental pitch of the drum first, so that's where we'll start. The first step to tuning a tom, or any drum for that matter, is clearing the bearing-edge of debris. Mos...
