wat are the basics? I didnt learn any basics just play the songs that i like that i can play.

I mentioned earlier the lousy hi hat that sounds like "pong pong" and miranda bro say is paiste 101s. I think better dun get those. Hitting a milo can tin sounds better than that.

Maybe try sabian b8? or b8pro.

Anyone went or participate the V-drum contest last weekend?

Rayne1989 : JS Music no longer carries Stagg. Ultimate Music is the dealer now.

Party2DMax : Did you try out any of the snares?

WintersuN : Its never a compulsory to buy after testing. Just be sure to know what you want and your budget instead of trying everything in the shop. Some shops do allow to try with sticks, others only let you tap it with your fingers. Just bring along some familiar face customer and it'll be easier.

how much does a good double bass pedal cost? that comes 2nd after cymbals lol

i still cant do rudiments lol. its RLRLRR and LRLRLL?

paraddidle la bro best... RLRRLRLLR

the hoop on the reso side wont give much or nothing at all in sound difference...but on the better side it does...but if you like more control and focused sound and u play lots of combination of music then go for all die cast hoop..but if you like open sounded drums then go for triple flanged hoops...tune-ability wise die cast hoop is superior s it is shaped and has constant shape and it is heavy so that it holds the drum heads down and tuning is more precise as compared to triple flanged, but if your a drummer who has mastered dynamics and superior stick control then triple flanged has more advantage as it gives the drum a very open sound in nature and more dynamic range!! =) So if you like a certain type of hoop then go for it =)

Hey guys, I'm planning to get a drum set for myself now. I feel bored using an e-kit so I wanna get an acoustic one  .

My price range is actually rm3.2k-3.5k (without cymbals and throne). Was interested in Tama superstar but called C&M music in JB and they gave an idea about the Ludwig Element PVC Series, which is just rm 2420. Thinking bout that, perhaps, I could spend more on cymbals and stuff. So what do you guys think about that Ludwig drums? I want something that would give a good sound. Its 6 pieces by the way. Compare this with the Tama imperialstar.

Thanks 

i regret buying the evans e-rings lol

they cancel the overtones but now my drums sound dry lol.

You know.....sometimes the snare sounds like it resonates too much from the drummers seat, but in the audience, it sounds just right.

Especially if you're playing without mics, the overtones usually can't be heard from the audience. On the other hand, if it sounds just right from the throne, it might sound TOO DRY from the floor. So the best would be to have someone else hit it, and go and listen to it from the audiences point of view.
I think some overtones are nice unless you're playing a really busy funk thing, and even then you can't have it too dry.

If you're miked up, its a totally different story, but the PA guy also has alot of things he can do with it like gates and filters.

=)

Hey treflip.. Remember you told me that you resell drums equipment.
Just wanna ask, do you sell sticks as well?

I did not know I am so good at breaking sticks. Broke 2 pairs within 2 months..

I wanna 7A sticks, slim and light. The lighter the better. Any ideas if you got those ?
No need branded stuffs.. No brand also ok, as long as it is light and slim, 7A..

Oh ya, it is Isaac.. Mixed up you guys already.
Oh, I had a couple of heavy 7As and 5As stick. Those are ok to be used for practicing, to train the wrist and speed.

But I want this light light 7As stick is because if I am to use heavy sticks to play in church, it will be too loud for the congregation.. Not a good thing la, pity those sitting beside the drum, especially the ride and crash..

So prefer a lighter stick to play.. (But if i can break the stick, I must be hitting darn hard also.. Hahaha)

I love Cadeson 7As. Light.. But ended up broken severely.. The tip literally fly off when I hit the dark crash..

As long as it is light, good deal for me..

1 pair = rm29

I remember that it was RM260 (last time you advertised) and I'd like to buy 2 sets (7A Japanese Oak).

So the current orders are as follows..

Bonescythe - 1 (At the moment)
Ramin - 1
Scorpio04 - 1
Boomeraangkid - 1

4 pairs already.

Any more takers.. Come come.. Let's try out this Japanese Oak drumstick..
We can give feedback on the sticks then after using it..
RM29/pairs (I assume is more expensive if buy separately, right ?)

Deadline for orders.. (Isaac make the call)

Hey, wanna ask what you guys do about sound proofing your drum practice or jamming room. Especially staying in terrace houses, the noise factor of acoustic drums is making me have second thoughts about getting an acoustic set, and drawing me to e-drums, but i must admit that acoustic drums has that X factor that appeals to me; plus it's much more fun to play.

Are there any feasible noise proofing tips that you guys can share? Much appreciated!

Haha, was anticipating the last episode... will watch it after the weekend ler.
In the mean time, yes.... any thoughts?
Dunno if phase 3 of the audition is child's play for drummers like Dave Weckl and Vinnie Colaiuta or Gavin Harrison :S
I thought that Virgil Donati would be the one lol, upon seeing the roster during the trailer la at least.

Wonder if they'll release a hi-def DVD of this. I'll definitely get a copy. Wanna see Thomas Lang's and Virgil Donati's performance.

Yup, sound reduction. The room's about 12' x 20'. Need to find a cost effective way of reducing the noise of the drums, all i know is that carpeting and using heavy curtains do help. Not sure what else. 

Oh, and Marco Minnemann is just  , he's the main reason why i got into drumming in the first place, not just an amazing drummer, but a great musician as well IMO. And i think that is what sets a great drummer apart from the good drummers, being a musician first and a drummer second.

How much does this snare cost? Is it good?



I see new pearl snares have different logo design. Should be old stuff thats why not sure their sound quality. You know la old stuff sure cant compare new stuff

I c.. Sorry Im new

So you have any experience with this snare or heard any reviews?

thanks. Sounds like a good snare. Gonna blast at 200 bpm with this 1k snare 

Im quite new. Actualyl dont really know how to differentiate the sound of different wood. All snares sound kinda same to me with exception of some really different snares like piccolo or wat la

WHat example are more powerful snare? This snare is not powerful? Powerful as in loud?

I see what you mean. Like more attack "tak" like that. I also like that kind of snare. So this snare not recommended? Can i tune it to have more power of is it due to the wood material?

If no choice what type of snare u recommend? Steel will have the "tak" attack?

Meinl cymbals seem not so popular. I see great deal for the

souncaster medium custom soundwave hihat 14" online. Any reviews?

I want buy hi-hat stand.Any suggestion

budget? better hunt out for 2nd hands. or stagg dh/j cymbals ok jg ah.

does anyone here know to remove mould/fungus/kulat inside a drum shell? haha.

Haha, it's NEXT WEEK!
So can you make it?
