Von, this is fantastic!! I have purchased your drumless tracks, and love them. This trading 4s and 8s system is next! Thank you so much for all that you do! (love all your work).

[@jazzdrumschool]

Could be quiet practicing with brushes (only jazz of course) without using pad and/or quiet cymbals if you live in an apartment building? Thank you!!

[@jazzdrumschool]

Sandu, great question. Yes, you can. Brushes are perfect for apartment buildings. If you set up your kit, be sure to make some kind of riser with tennis balls or some absorbing material on the bottom. That will cut out the vibration with is the biggest problem in apartment buildings. Keep swinging my friend 🤙

[@sandurojas]

@@jazzdrumschool Thank you so much. For that vibration, could a rug work?

[@jazzdrumschool]

Sorry for the delay! Actually a rug will only partially absorb the vibration. You'll need something more and the tennis ball riser is golden.🤙

Do you have a way to gift your tracks via voucher or gift card?
