I think it’s actually a PA speaker bag that Farmer Footdrum offered as a bag for this kit. Check with Gator and see if they have a PA speaker bag that would work.

Thanks Jimmy. I just came up on this video. Haven't seen it in a long time. I wrote that song about early dementia. I'm not sure if I ever played that one out. That's one of those songs that would sound great with a band and back up vocals.

This is an unboxing video from the first day I got it. Check out videos on my site at graylingpingel.com or go to my youtube channel for videos of me playing it.

My relation is from Bowler, WI. William Pingel was my Grandfather...large family...very large.

rebel detail Not for me. I've been a drummer and a guitar player for years so I just swapped the right hand on hi hat to my right hand guitar. The only thing that took a bit to get used to was the snare with my heel. I had to change my left drumming snare hand to my left heel. Its second nature to me now. If youve never played drums or guitar it would take awhile. If you've never played drums, you could start out with a basic bass drum thump and add things as you got used to it. Its a great instrument...built very well.

@@googull271 thanks I'm a guitar player I'm going solo tired of bands and I've been using drum machine but it's only so much u can do I can play bass also and I've messed with drums but not really a drummer I'm also a keyboard player I have alot of orginal songs I problay want do nothing fancy just a beat thanks so much for info it looks amazing tho the drum kit

I like it alot. I bought the new 12 pedal about 6 months ago but I really think I'd do fine with just this setup. I'm actually selling this kit right now on Reverb if you're interested. it's pretty easy to get used to..especially if you're a drummer. It also sounds really good when you mic it up. I use a 4000 watt system with subs and tops when I do bigger bar & grills and it kicks very good.

@@googull271 If you don't mind me asking, what stand did you use for the cymbal? I'm looking to do the same with my footdrum (mine is actually the exact same colors as yours lol)

Thanks. Maybe I'll see you again! If I come over there again, please come over and introduce yourself.

Go to www.footdrums.com/ and you can order right from the website. They are not sold in stores as far as I know.

Hello!

Thanks Wendy. We'll be doing alot of "how to" videos also on things pertaining to being a local musician. Stay tuned!

Wendy....thanks! :)

Hi Scarlet!

Thanks Jimmy!

Hi Bromeister.....you check me out on Facebook or the website michaelsullivanmusician.com it's time to get back out and get busy. looking for gigs now.

Hi Cathy....:)

Thanks for coming. Great original music and it was a good time!

Yeah Jan, really cool to meet ya'! I'll keep in touch. Good playing at the party by the way.

The snare sticks are about 8 inches long and after using it for a few years ALOT (187 shows last year), it's not very responsive as far as nuances go but...it works great for straight beats. I use the hi hat on verses alot for a softer touch then kick the snare in. You just have to work around it but, that being said...I couldn't do my show without it. The new model has magnets so your repelling that magnetic force instead of springs which, even though I haven't tried yet, seems to make more sense and is quieter, smoother and possibly more responsive. Check out Farmer Footdrums for more info. He has a nice site with some videos.

What is this newer, magnetic model? That sounds fascinating. by the way thanks for the informative response - this is really interesting

You'd have to go to Famer Footdrums.com and check out the deluxe models. You can sort of configure how you want it set up. I think he only uses the magnets now...you might be able to get springs if you'd want them, I'm not sure. He'll respond to your inquiries via his website.

Thank you.

Thanks Jimmy!
