My first drum solo

I played my first drum drum solo after 3 years of playing the drums. It’s a cover from a live version of a song which includes a drum solo. However, the solo I did is completely mine.

How was it ? I was so nervous that I didn’t realize I was playing the whole song around 15 bpm faster than the original 😭

Roland cymbals keyholing

Hey so, I recently noticed that some of my Roland cymbals were essentially keyholing. I immediately tried to put some cymbal sleeves to protect them, but none of the sleeves I have work with the Roland stand, they’re all too long or thick.

I’m honestly surprised at all this because I don’t remember any sleeves being included when I bought the VAD507, so I just assumed it wasn’t needed.

The cymbals are still functional, but I’m afraid they won’t be for long if I don’t change anything.

Another important matter. Once I realized this, I decided to “protect” my new EFnote ozone cymbal. I used a pearl stand which did allow me to use a cymbal sleeve with the cymbal. However, a couple days ago, I realized that a part of the cable is getting damaged? I’m not sure if the damage even came from the sleeve, but now I don’t know what to do.

If I don’t protect them with the sleeves, could the keyholing extend to a point to where the cymbals actually stop functioning?

If I protect them with a sleeve, will I damage the cables ?

Pls help
