Yup, but you've got some like the Tama Rhythmwatch that will give you more advanced settings with different layers and so on.

How much did the whole thing cost you? Break down the prices please

How much was the module then? x) Eh, I wanna do this weyh.

Yepyep, but sometimes got no connection then how?

It was an open air thing, and it started raining, so it got canceled. :/ HAHAHAHA! Not the first time it has happened though.

It depends who I'm playing with, but with my main band I play a mix of covers and originals, and with my side projects and sessions, I guess it depends.

Not a lot of original stuff, but we're working on it. And I've got a solo EP project coming up in the holidays
My gigs are usually at conferences or hotels and stuff, so I'm not sure about frequent open mic nights, but I'm sure if you look around you could find some.

Physical exercise eh? I'm not very fit, but I've recently taken up swimming (no noticeable difference yet, not that I'm expecting it to.. but ) I have a friend who plays with hand and ankle weights though..

SUPRA.PHONIC.

Hmm.. It depends which Swingstars, but I'd probably swing towards those too, rather than the Forum. The Japanese Swingstars, that were made in the 80's - early 90s I think are pretty good, and are mid-high end drums IIRC, but the more recent ones are not very good though.


The Speedcobras are really good. I want a pair. Hehehehe. trade in my Iron Cobras

Well, I don't think so, but perhaps I could sell my Cobras off and get a set of Speedcobras? x) I'm getting my payday soon... so...

The Swingstar doesn't have the STAR system, I think, and its useful if you bring your drums around I think. Extremely sturdy.

No, the reason for the hassle in changing heads is cause apparently it is more sturdy.

I'm still using my Ludwig Epic for gigs where I have to bring my own kit, it's amazing, and the bass drum... I tell you arh. It's so loud and boomy and so vintage Ludwig. I'm using it with my Sabian AAX and HHXs lah.

I've heard better reviews about the Diablo. Get the Diablo, and change the heads, and you ought to have a decent starter kit!

Hmm, perhaps you could go for something used now on the forum?

I deal ddrum. And its stocked at JS.

NO, I disagree with you. Everyone has their personal preferences, and of course the pro lines (eg. Sonor Delite) will pwn the beginner lines of other brands (eg. Pearl Forum). Different tastes and different feel. Meritocracy.

Not a major fan of any of the above brands, but I use/have used gear from all of the above brands you mentioned.

Still, it depends a lot on personal preference, but sometimes there are the ones that are clearly not good at all la.

Hmm.. Yes, I agree, good used buys are hard to find, but when I was searching for a kit, I saw a six piece Yamaha Stage Custom with double pedals and Sabian B8s for 2.5k. I almost went for it la. Almost.

Hmm, this should be a good one. New price is Rm3k+ la, so 5p3ak, should be within your budget.

I'm not a fan of the D3 la Just saying.

Budget? :/

Hmm... Think about the Ludwig Element kit, its 6 piece, and for slightly over 3k can have throne and hardware as well.

Bentleys Or order through me lah. And the thing with this is that you get 10, 12 and 13' rack toms HAHAHAHAHA!

yepyep I got my Epic from them too. The difference between ordering from me and ordering from them is that

Deciding between getting a snare from Battlefield and SJC :/ HAHAHAHAHA! Need to find out cost of shipping+taxes first. Help anyone?

PDP, well depends what series la Definitely not the Z5, if possible, please. x) But above that range, it looks okay la.

Not sure about the Mainstage, but the FS, M5 and X7 are all pretty good kits for the money.

But actually the Z5 should be okay, in the sense that you might have cash left over the switch your heads.

Very much agreed. Eh bro, which Yamaha you went to ahh? The one I went to a long time ago also had one Stage Custom and one Gigmaker


So yeah, 5p3ak. What he says is also true. In the long run, it will prove better. In the short term as well, actually. Basically, spend on one midrange kit now, instead of in a few years rugi-ing and getting one anyway.
