Hi there John C. I have the MFC 9320cw an older model and I had to replace about 2 drums but it only comes in a pack of 4. I purchased mine right here on Amazon. It was sold in a pack of 4. I couldn't buy it separately. Have a Blessed Day!! JT

I only needed one and that is how they are sold. The drums were Gammon percussion and I couldn't find a direct replacement, this one as close to the originals as I could find, a little larger in over all size but the leg fit and has worked well since the repair. This set of drums is in our church and I turned the floor tom around and put the new lug in the back. Had this been a drum kit used daily or every weekend, I would have special ordered the exact replacement from Gammon, I was trying to keep the cost down. Exact measurements, hole spacing, etc. I don't remember, but I only wanted it to work and it does. Sorry if this doesn't help. I only needed one and that is how they are sold.

There really aren't that many things to check on these machines. Make sure "the wire" is clean; don't use "compatible" non-Brother toner cartridges; check the "drum life" indicator under "machine info" on the soft key menu(s). The drum and toner cartridges work together. If you've exceeded the drum's rated lifespan, it won't matter how new/full your toner cartridge is. It's time to replace the drum.

The toner cartridges fit inside the drum unit. The toner cartridge it comes with is low capacity, so best to buy a toner pretty soon after buying the printer. The drum unit has to be replaced too, but not for quite a while. You'll use several toners before the drum gets replaced. The printer tells you the percentage of drum life left.

It says to replace the drum for a long time then it won't go until you replace it. That's when I replace it. And you can reset drum on the menu. But I've heard if you let the drum go too long you will be buying a printer...

probably does, it has everything regarding drum patterns. The problem with this machine, and why I immediately sent it back, was it has a BASE LINE with every pattern that you cannot get rid of!!! It is not advertised as such, I sure as heck didn't want a drum machine that had a base line attached. Be nice to add as needed , but not attached. so... hope this helps

George, there are a number of apps that record multiple tracks.... It should work just fine. Are you going to mic your drums? You can likely only record one track at a time. If you are doing midi you should be able to record multiple tracks at a time but again that will depend on the app you choose.

If it's printing good, no streaks on the edges where you can see the drum leaving a roll spot - then you can reset the drum counter. Do this by opening the compartment where you put the toner and drum. Hit the clear button and a message will come on replace drum (y/n), hit yes and it will take replace drum error away. We only replace the drum when it starts to print bad, every 40-50 thousand copies instead of the recommended 20 thousand copies.

I have this machine now. I strongly advise against buying one. It's flimsy and the drum never fails to get stuck inside.I'm replacing mine asap.

We replaced our drum in our MFC-9970CDW and it works fine. You had a typo, maybe that was the issue? ("CWD" vs "CDW").

I'm guessing you're looking for toner, not drums. This is the wrong product. DO NOT OPEN. Vendor will not accept returns if you open it. However, if you really need a new drum, the cyan, Magenta, & yellow are identical and interchangeable. But you probably want toner. .. search for product number TN-210M for Magenta.

Don't know, but had my printer for 3 years and i have to change the drum for the first time and only changed my cartridges 3x's. Excellent printer...

I got the 1 drum & 1 toner cartridge. The drum made such a horrible noise I was afraid it was going to damage my printer, and the toner only lasted through 1 ream of paper !!

Yes, a regular drum key will work. My new kit came with two of them, but I have used a slanders drum key as well with no problem.

Yes, you just take the old/empty ones and put these instead by pushing them inwards until they make a click sound... I hope you have ordered the ones that fit your MFC printer.

I always record the basic drum track on track 1 on the left set of knobs and then add guitars, keyboards, vocals, etc on the other tracks 2-8. You can export some of thise tracks and empty them out and reuse them again if you need more than the 8 available. As long as you keep a couple of basic tracks to follow along with, you'll still be able to make them all match up time wise.

Brother lazer printers have several models that require different drums for each model.Look on top of printer or inside for correct drum.
