I thought I'd open this thread up for the time being while the other one is closed thanks to dumb duckie....lets continue our discussions here

i was just about to do this.
thanks dude.

aaanyway. which sticks do you think is the most light 5A stick because all my sticks are fairly heavy and i thought of getting some vic firths. so yeah. question above ^^^^

LOL, I read back on that thread and I mixed up atomicjelly with kari =S
Anyway, if this temp thread gets closed also, it'll really be funny.

Wanna name the top 3 drummers that you enjoy listening to the most?
1. Gavin Harrison
2. Virgil Donati
3. LOL, can't think of any =S

All understated prog-rock types... all in great bands...

1. Mitch Mitchell - Jimi Hendrix Experience - a very artful drummer imo i love his work and his drumming has so much feeling and technicality to it.
2. Keith Moon - The Who - So much energy and crazy fills,fast and precise and incredibly influential.
3. Josh Eppard- Coheed & Cambria - technically not really the best/most technical drummer but is very talented and energetic and has fills and beats that are weirdly nice. and they fit the music perfectly despite being not so typical beats and snare accents at strange places and creative fills. lots of emotion in his playing.

i love these drummers. others would be Taylor Hawkins, Chad Smith, Jojo Mayer, Dennis Chambers and Chris Pennie...

my least favourite drummers are Travis Barker (just because of his overrated-ism) and JOEY JORDISON (chyeah he can play double bass, so can tamas haake and akira jimbo.good job there joey.)

1. Tigger Drummer (youtube)
2. Igor
3. Chad Smith

:P

i already pm'ed the mod about bringing the normal thread back up. i also mentioned some other things about a certain person.

so cross your fingers!
and igors awesome.
btw i also like Tomas Haake

hey atomic-jelly, why do you put up your ride for sale? so you bought 2 ah???

Yeah, I end up buying two....kiasu case la ni......wanted to get the 24" one but that's like 600+ but very nice sound and very heavy too.......but price is a bit too high...

The standard Forum throne and the Pearl round throne, the one that is slightly better then the 75s...800 series I think?....I love those Pork Pies though....looks so comfy....but it costs a bomb.....

Saru, I suggest you just go for the Roadster like Kari's....those are very durable and nice to sit on.......anybody tried lifting the D-2000 throne? Gosh that's super heavy!

Added on July 8, 2008, 9:30 amBentley is having a sale guys....it says on their website mega sale july 5th till sept 1st....

O RLY? Dang!

Not everything is on sale Kari, someone just asked on their board for Elims apparently only the single Belt ones are on sale...if you happen to go, do check out their Zildjian prices for me..thanks....

Roadster has couple of models, rite?
which 1 is Kari's?
D1000, D1000S or D1000C?

D 1000 C

the throne cloth seat?

saru: im using stock carlos throne... half rosak, still can use...

wah sales !! i want to get a snare... what brands do bentley carry? Tama and pearl only? :D

kari if you go bentley can check the snare price for me too ? wether they are on sale ... thnx ! >.<

Who's going to Bentley?
I'm feel like going tomorrow... I'm very free these days, waiting to start my new job in August. I've just been offered a job after passing a gruelling 3-hour interview.

Which reminds me... I'll have to buy the Simon Philips pass since I'll be free. Hope to see you guys there.

yes. it feels like velvet rather than cloth. they should put D-1000V instead of C. Hahahaha...
but if you really wanna buy D-1000 series throne, i suggest you get the one with air-suspension. Gives bouncy feeling rather than static. I also cover my throne's surface with plastic because the velvet tend to collect dust like insane.

guys, i can go and check out the zildjian price for you all but only at BB branch. I worked at Jln Tun Razak area so to go to Mutiara Damansara is damn far for me. BB branch is just on my way home.

Vinyl FTW... no worries about dust. I haven't seen the one with the suspension at Bentley so far but I would never have thought that it was bouncy like Gibraltar. It just gives me the impression that it absorbs shock... like what kinda shock can happen when you're playing drums -.-|||

Mine is D2000. And it's not heavy la... unless you compare it to lesser thrones. I personally believe that Pearl's hardware is more well-made compared to Tama and Yamaha for example. Can't go wrong with Pearl.

wow... good morning, party2dmax... lolx...

anyway, any recommendation for throne? budget around 250rm...

Go to Bentley and JS and see which one you like lorr.
After all they're both in BB. Just find one day, go there, and get your throne.

Do you really want a branded one? Maybe even a cheap one can make you happy already. But if you insist on a branded throne, I recommend Pearl.

buy branded can last longer i think...

doesnt hv to be branded... but sumtimes not branded oso kinda hard to find...
actually, i'm kinda looking for Pearl or Gibraltar only...

Pearl D-75 cost around 190rm... but not too sure about gibraltar...

what do u guyz think about D-75?

D-75. It does the job well.

i have a D-70W i think.... and it makes you rbutt hurt after playing for a long time... but i dont have the cash to change it

aiya whens the original drummers paradise gonna open back? int the problem resolved?

:/

Maybe your butt is not strong enough.... j/k =P

I heard that Pearl D-70W is the cheapest among all the Pearl throne, rite?

wut i heard from TGS Damansara Perdana boss said, D-75 is pretty decent as its price is affordable and not too bad...

but i wish to buy thrones that can adjust the height... cuz im kinda hard to hit the snare if the throne is too low... u now lar.. im short... 173cm oni..

173cm short? Dude... you should be thankful to God.

Anywayssssss, Pearl has introduced their new 900 hardware. So anyone has check 'em out yet?

Eh, who else going to SIMON PHILIPS bulb clinic???

hi donald, how r u? i hope u r fine.
just want to give u some good news,
i have all your detail and phone number, pls behave before i start looking for u.

thank you..hv a pleasant day.

Refer to http://tariff.customs.gov.my for to see if any tax applies.
If you have an agent, they'll send it to your house otherwise you'll have to go KLIA. I've shipped through GDex, UPS, DHL, FEDex... they'll handle the customs side and send to your house directly - if you agree to their charges.

err... i personally feel that im kinda short...

anyway, im goin 2 simon phillips clinic... bought ticket edi...

btw, 900 hardware izit those which come with Vision?

P2Dmax: are u the drummer of Qings and Kueens?? because i remember someone in the old jamtank.com bought D-2000 throne.

Added on July 10, 2008, 12:12 am
yes. 900 is from Vision. i hope Bentley would sell them separately because i am interested in its hi-hat stand.

i think i will go.. c u there.

Haha, no, I'm not that guy. And I look much cooler =X
173cm is above the average height of 165cm for a M'sian adult male, or so it says on Wikipedia.

I'd better check out some Simon Phillips clips so I can know what to expect. Is it mentioned what he's going to teach?

he mentioned that he is going to teach how to fix a Philips bulb.



j/k.

haha... yeah... hope 2 c u there...
and i think bentley is selling 900 if im not mistaken..

btw, it's been quite long time i din hear about Qings and Kueens...
no news from them recently...




haha... yeah, i noe average is 165cm..
but i still feel that im not tall enuff...

Added on July 10, 2008, 1:51 am

if he is teaching how to fix a Philips bulb, i think my dad can held a clinic as well...

screw Simon Phillips! a lil discussion here...

who are you guys' local drummer hero????? (those who you guys have seen they play)

1) John Thomas FTW!!!!!!!!!!!
2) Alang (MUZE, Furniture, Bittersweet, etc etc etc)
3) Hafiz (Butterfingers)
4) Ainol (Deja Voodoo Spells)
5) Ihsan (Custom Daisy, Couple, TWKUA)

i dont mention old2 drummers here not because they aint good, but they are not really fun to watch. I admit their skill and what not but i rather watch a solid and interesting playing rather than highly skillful but boring playing.

ok, your turn.

My top 5 local drum heroes:

1) Bakri (Gerhana Skacinta)
2) Ainol (DVS)
3) Andy (Estranged)
4) Rudy (Pop Shuvit)
5) Jimmy (Tempered Mental) haha... kawan i... so, gotta support...

i never knew who was John Thomas til I YouTube him...
now, can i change my 1st local drum hero? he really FTW!

VJ - PG165 , Melaka

:P
Cool

eh... is this guy selling his K Mastersound on the classified before?
tried to contact him but no reply (PM, SMS)

sold alrdy ah?

i not sure wether the one i know is the one u mention.. i saw few of his performances and its great.

hi guys, long time no posted here. been very very busy n bad stuff keep happening to me. so bad bad bad luck. i almost lost my whole world. anyway just to say hi n wish u all happiness, n let happiness rely on your own, n not on some1 else(gf, frens, etc), coz they will let u down eventually.

dudez,its so boring lately,no much happening from drums eh.
any suggestions? y not arrange for some gatherings or something?

ohya,ive took the trouble to go thru the thread,n im also looking for a good sturdy throne! my current throne is not height adjustable n it wobbles n eventually goes lose when i cant even finish one complete song which has double bass parts. kinda frustrating! its very very important to get a sturdy throne if ure practicing/playing double bass. imagine both legs r airborned,only your butt is balancing your whole body,plus in motion.

good day dudez!

owh... i tot u know him. nvmnd then

nickoholic: eh... who said not happening? it is so happening until the original thread locked by Moderators! anyway, Simon Philips drummer of ToTo is coming to KL to do his clinic. Come down and maybe we can meet each other.

my shift will end in about 1 and half hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm, ive never listened to toto before. hell, ive never been to any drum clincs before. but since all are interested to join n stuff, i guess it does not hurt to go. any details on that? have to check with my schedule. and is it possible to get tix on the same day? im too lazy. haha~

1)lewis pragasam
2)black (wings)
3)yazid (search)
4)ainol (dvs)
5)ahmed deedat (i know he is not a drummer, but he is my hero)

im bored in the office and got less things to do now, so here goes. local drummers. no offense, but i dont know any of their names. lol~

anyway, heres few

1) seven collar tshirt's drummer
2) deja vooodoo spells are deja voodoo before right? if he is, man hes crazy and good too
3) that kid i saw at bents during bass and friends day. man i still cant get over that.

are u referring to zailan razak's son? i was there too but missed that part.

hey mr ikan,
i hope u dont mind, if u hv any new items for drums, can u let us know here in this thread.

thanks
