In this episode, we discuss our gear preferences and go shopping for new drum kits, but here's the catch. Eddy is doing it on the Gretsch website, and I am doing it on the Ludwig site! We also talk about the importance of practicing and the benefits of accountability.

Takeaways

Choosing the right gear is essential for drummers to achieve their desired sound and performance.
Practicing regularly and having accountability can greatly improve drumming skills.
Ludwig and Gretsch offer a wide range of drum kits and snare drums to suit different preferences and playing styles.
Personal preferences, such as sound, size, and finish, play a significant role in selecting the right drum kit and snare drum. Gretsch drums have a unique feature called portholes, which allow the drum key to be stored inside the shell.
When choosing a drum set, consider the sound and feel of the toms, as well as the overall aesthetic.
Different bearing edges and shell materials can greatly impact the sound and versatility of a drum kit.
