All about drumming!
 

Tell us what type of kit you've got, what type of cymbals, you favourite drummers, type of sticks etc.

Anyways at the moment I have a basic DXP kit, but I have a Zildjian A custom pair of hi-hats, a K Custom Ride. Favourite drummer would have to be Joey Jordison and Brandon Barnes. And finally I use Zildjian Dipsticks 7A.

i use the school kit but its a pearl drumkit and i use maxtone sticks size 7A which ive put an emo and pround sticker on.

So I got a new Dixon base drum pedal today, and a new dixon boom stand:)

i got a new kit a few months ago. its a peavy international 2nd series but im missing the ride:(

still its better thn not having 1 at all.

Eh ride's aren't compulsary unless you play jazz yet. Or latin... Which I'm doing both atm

Or Metal!

\m/

i use an old Tama rockstar set....and i endorse, very broken cymbals.

You're not the only one dude. My crash is BLACK! Me and my mates put a sparkler bomb on it lol

i've got a bottom-line pearl, with a kit crash/ride which is pretty terrible, custom k dark ride and matching hi-hat, aquarian bass drum head and remo heads for the rest of 'em. and i have a really ****ty double pedal that one of my friends gave me.

i don't really have a favorite drummer, since most of my favorite bands don't have very technical drumming.

i borrowed a floor tom and high hat from a Peace set i put a tambourine on one of the floor tom's legs so, every hit gets a nice tambourine after sound, and i also hit an overturned bucket, I saw a snare drum at savers for $20, if it's there tommorow , I'll have that too

How's the snare, Phish?

Mapex m-series 6 piece kit. I've added a 13" brass piccolo snare and got a 12" steel popcorn snare for my high school graduation (along with my truck). I mainly use the piccolo snare, and only the popcorn snare in short fills most of the time. The snare that came with the kit now acts as a little tray for my ear plugs and water bottle until I need it.

Toms; 10" and 12" mounted toms on the bass drum, and 14" and 16" mounted floor toms on a stand. Was thinking of adding another tom, but I figured I'll just turn off the snare on my popcorn snare and use it as a high tom since it's positioned next to the actual high tom.

Dunno the dimensions of my bass drum, I know it's diameter is 22". I stuffed a long pillow in it, and have a hole cut out in the front for my mic (which I have yet to use). I also have a bass-mounted cowbell wedged in between my two toms on the bass drum.

I play both open handed and right handed, so for convenience sake, I have both my hi hat and my ride to my left. I plan to get a second ride cymbal to put on my right as well as a second hi hat to put on my right o I can be truly open handed. I just got to wait for my body to crap out money.

Cymbals are Zildjian A-series, with the exception of my 16" Zildjian Oriental China cymbal, my 14" A-custom crash, an off brand 14" china, and a 10" Sabian Xs splash. My other cymbals are the 14" hi hat, 20" ride, 16" crash, and another 10" cymbal which sounds higher pitched than its Sabian counterpart. As I said, my hat and ride are both to my left. My two chinas are both on my right, with the 16" one to my farthest right. Splashes are stacked above my two crashes, which all 4 cymbals are in the middle; 16" crash on my right, and 14" on my left.

Double bass pedal as well.

........... I just hit it all.:bonkhead:

That line up must've cost thousands. Your cymbals sound great, but I don't like the idea or having my ride to my left. It'd just feel kind awkward lol.

How long have you been playing?

For about 5 or 6 years, on and off. Not as good as I should be, though.

Was pretty expensive. But Ig to some good deals on some stuff, such as the kit. Price was 1500, but the guy sold it to me for a little over 900 dollars.

Right now, I'm trying to find time to try and learn ow to use this recording equipment.

-Good plan. My band was thinking of buyin some equipment (recorders, mixers, mics etc.) But we figured it'd be easier just to go to a recording studio.

Either way, you'll have a hole in your wallet bigger than Rosie O'Donnell's appetite. The equipment I got cost me over a grand, and I'm still paying it off, along with 200 dollars car insurance, and if I don't get my act together in college, I'll have to drop out and start looking for some health insurance. I haven't had over 300 dollars in my account in over a year. And recording studios, I heard, cost even more than the equipment. Recording alone cost this one band my friend knew 2 grand, not including mass producing all the cd's and whatnot, cover art, and all that stuff.

Whatever happened to the good old days when all you had to do was perform in front of the King of England or France and he pretty much was the opinion of the people? All you needed to impress was one guy.

Haha well said.

Cover art is done by my friend, he's insane at photoshop. And mass producing is ages off, I'm only 13 and the rest are 15 year olds.

1970's Slingerland black oyster pearl. It was my dad's old kit and it is simply awesome. I play with zildjian cymbals but mix and match the types, I have some A's and a Kustom. But the one I really love is my ride. It's a zildjian that I found with my dad's kit so it is old and doesn't have an exact type but the overtones of it can't be beat. I have a list of favorite drummers: Keith Moon, John Bonham, Neil Peart, Buddy Rich, Carter Bruford, Terry Bozzio... the list goes on and on. I play with 2B Nylon tip Vic Firth's, the only way to go.

I like the TAMA

All Ayotte drums, great sound. Pro Mark 747 Natural sticks with nylon tips. All Zildjian cymbals cept a Wuhan china.

I own this:

He's got all Evans Genera heads with a Genera Dry snare head and an extra tight snare spring.

and last but not least, he uses Vic Firth 5A sticks.

Iron Cobra's piss me off... But that's for personal reasons lol.

Anyways, I recently started using Vic Firth 5B's, and if I go well in these tests I'm getting a crash cymbal.
I'm looking a Zidjian Z custom...

^yeah..that bass pedal is a piece of crap.

I'm a gear nerd

I wish I had drums, I play my friends ever now and then...can't think of what kind they were...

I am thinking about getting a cheap kit to mess around on...

My favorite drummers are Vinnie Paul and Lars.

I've got a Tama jazz kit with a medium ride, medium crash, medium hats, hi-lo-floor toms, a 26 inch bass drum, and a good snare drum. I usually use big 5Bs when I play. Jazz kits are great for ska and hardcore drumming, actually. You'd be surprised.

I just added a Zildjian A Custom medium crash to my kit today, 19". Sounds goooooood. Zildjian FTW.

I'm now aiming for a double kick, I'm thinking the Pearl Eliminator.

Suggestions?

Get Axis pedals. A few of my friends have invested in them and they all love them.

I'm pretty sure my old tutor had an Axis, I'll keep that in mind.

My kit is an entry level one that I'm pretty sure is going t fall apart soon and i bought my cymbol for 15 dollars at some corner sore that sold music supplies. I have a nice DW kickpedal though and I messed around with my kickdrum enough that it sounds decent. I have some decent sticks though, the pair I use most are a Vic Firth artist signature (forget the artist though. I also have a pair of Vic Firth Hickory 7A's, and both of them have handwraps. I also have the usual mallets and brushes and some spare sticks.

I've also been drumming for about 4-4 1/2 years.

Why is it a piece of crap? I wanna know before i waste my money on some iron cobra double bass pedals.

Yamaha Hip-gig...1940's WFL field snare...Tony Allen

the cams on pearl eliminators are A) plastic and B) fixed to the hangar with more plastic in the shape of a 'c' which just kinda pops on. this means that if you move the pedal around, subject it to impact, or, well, PLAY IT, the plastic will eventually fail you and piss you off.

iron cobras: i know some damn good players who swear by them.

axis: solid pedals, but from what i gather and can tell by examination (was not able to use one) the pearl demon drive is the pedal with the most sophisticated axis specs to date. axis systems are probably where i'll go next in that they deliver what is closest to perfect in terms of the transfer of energy.

i play a dual chain DW9000 double pedal. it has classic action, and if you know how to maintain your gear, will likely never fail you. it grabs the bass drum hoop well and comes equipped with velcro on the bottom plates to stick your kick to the floor real good too.

i also have (to join the more general topic) and real sweet tama signature series snare drum, sabian 6inch evelyn glennie garbage splash, sabian 17inch john blackwell jia chinese, zildjian projection ride (kind of a cheap cymbal which happened to work surprisingly well), 17 and 20 sabian vault crashes, a couple 6 inch sabian ice bells, an 8inch zildjian bell (of some sort, like an ice bell), a set of regular timbales, a 28" djembe, HHX Evolution 14inch hats...

and im living in apartment in a city where the music sucks, so i got rid of my shells and don't know what i plan on for the future. i'm thinking dw, being that i really love drums, and that's cream of the crop. if you don't believe me, you've probably never played one. those guys at dw aren't f*ckin around.

Pdp fs kit all birch with zildjian k dark medium cymbals and Vic firht 55a sticks

I love jessica and her blue fade to black birch body!
