Drum mics. They're focused and more eq-ed towards drums.

Its almost brand new Less than one year old, used for a couple of radio recordings et all, brand new heads.

The 14' one...

Hmm... But when's the next sale?

Probably the traditional year end sale
I'll be there... Getting loaded up with a a few Sabians and AT least ONE snare

I'm looking out for.... HHX Evo splashes, AAX/AA crashes on that day

For snares... Mushashi, Sensitive and Weckl

I've had quite a bit of experience with the Superstar Hyperdrive.

Personally, I feel that its... okay. Not great, not bad. Just okay.

The Hyperdrive toms sound pretty flat to me, and while allowing for a more versatile set-up, by being shallow, sometimes, you just need that... that deep think tone xD

Don't get me wrong, the sound is good, but yes, it takes a quite bit of tweaking to get the sound you want.

Its high pitched, so get the coated Pinstripes or Emperors (not sure what the Evans equivalent would be) for the toms for a more tweaky set up

Pros:
Versatile set-up
Good resale value
Great high pitch
Starcast system
Good sound, great build, and looks.

Cons:
Not much sound variety
Relatively shallow toms (could be pro or con )
Not many memory locks (for giggers)


It is a good drumset. Let your ears guide you

Do you know what type of wood it is? Will it match your drumset?

What are you looking for? A jazz setup? Many toms? 2 snares? Basic 5 piece?

You could get

Tama Superstar (several models)
PDP M5, X7.
Ddrum Dominion (ASH/MAPLE), Duo Fade and Diablo
Pearl Vision etc.

But if you ask me to recommend, I'd go with the Ludwig Epic. Beautiful finishes, great tone. I've been using it for quite a while already, and for that price range, I couldn't recommend anything better. And comparatively, its cheap. You could get an extra crash for the price difference between that and the Hyperdrive.

Don't hesitate to contact me for special prices

HAHAHA! My church pun.

Tama Swingstar (80's la.., really good condition, and great sound, not the recent Swingstar xD) + Tama Rockstar extra toms, but kept in great condition, Remo's + A Custom Mastersound hats, three Avedis Zildjian crashes.... then potong stim... B8 ride. xD That's when my AAX ride comes into play

We're Christians Simple. xD

Welcome mate For starters, tell use about your influences, your kit and so on
HAHAHAHA! I'm not pro lah bro

Not much discounts. Up to 15% on cymbals, 10% on drums, according to an insider. Stands and clamps are up to about 50% if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think its worth going for, unless you wanna buy guitars, etc. Those are up to about 50-70%.

Near customs, Kelana Jaya.

Ahh.. Its alright xD Good things come to those who wait.


My friend went for the presale. Not much stuff lah. The Jazz Ride is still out of my budget. Heck. Mushashi is still near 2k.

Please elaborate xD WHY?

VX and VSX retail is around RM3.2k.
Give me a PM, I can get for you from RM2.6k-RM2.8k.

The VMX too, I can get for you at 3k+, VBX I'm not sure of the price.

And yes, brokenbomb is right, VMX is pretty close to a Masters MCX. Or, you could get the VBX and get yourself a new snare or crash

I suggest you take a drive down and bring it back. It will still be cheaper than buying in Penang

I don't think we do mate I've used Sonor at several gigs before though. You've switched to Sonor now?

Hmm... Its personal preference, honestly. The retail price is RM4890 with hardware for the Studio and the Stage. I could get it for you around RM4000 only. The Jungle set, is a bass drum, a tom and a floor tom, no skins no hardware for RM3000 retail, PM me for a special price

Both the Sonor drums I've played (3007 and Extreme Force), among other Sonor snares and such, have sounded great, and yes, for the price, they are extremely worth it. A great low-end, and great projection.

However, if you had about RM5000 to spend, I could get you the Yamaha Stage Custom (RM6199 retail), which is, in my opinion, much better than any Sonor within the RM8k price limit and any Yamaha drummer would certainly concur.

It is a professional drumset, and is, by all standards, much better than the Sonor, in terms of reliability, hardware, etc.

The Sonor hardware is a bit dodgy here and there in my opinion.

Do check out the Ludwig Epic, only RM4000 retail, but in my humble opinion, also better than the Sonor F3007.

Don't get me wrong, the Sonor is a brilliant drumset, there's one in my church, and it's a great option, a very versatile option in fact, for drummers.



Welcome to the Drummer's Paradise. Do tell us about yourself

Save up about RM3400 and I'll get you a Ludwig Epic.

Besides that, yes I guess your best choice would be a used Superstar or Vision

Yep

Though I'd like to see the TD9 down too

The Epic comes with bronze hardware, and its a 6 piece set which you can configure for three rack toms or two floor toms. Very versatile
Yup Well... Have you ever heard a Ludwig (Other than the Accent xD) that didn't have have a lovely BOOM sound? Go listen to all the Ludwig artists, or heck. Go try one in Bentley.

The Ludwig Epic is birch/maple/birch. A great combo of everything You get the power and the low end.

I can get it new for about 8k lah.. I was playing the DTXtreme the other day. Was really really nice

Nope mate Cheapest Yamaha is RM2.8k, the Gigmaker if I'm not mistaken.

There are a lot of Pearl Exports floating around for that price, take a look around

The Pearl Exports are pretty decent I'd say. Up to the end of the production line about a couple years back, they were the world's best selling drums

Actually, I believe from the midrange they're already pretty alright Stage Custom

The Tama Imperialstar is alright for a starting set, as long as you change your heads.

I'm thinking of getting a Roadster throne soon.

There isn't much difference between all the types, except the sizes, I believe. However, Bentley only has one, which I believe is the "funk" size. Don't worry, it can still play everything, and its beautiful

The retail price is RM4090, PM me for your special price.

Even if you don't get the bronze hardware, usually if you get a brand, you stick with it But no, its not necessary, you can get other toms and all, except that, if you choose a weird colour, they won't match


Well said. But their lower end thrones aren't very good. Sturdy, yes. Heavy, check. But they aren't made for overweight people D: Halfway while I'm playing it'll come down.
