which guitar collection? 

I use electric drum for a show last year in Cherating. It took me around 30 minutes for drum setup and sound check. Plus, I don't have to get my brother's van for transportation. Compare to my previous setup... 
Furthermore, I can switch the sound in my preset list using foot switch ie after playing Beatles, I can switch the sound to Bee Gees then switch to A.Rahman Hassan.
Talkin about edrum sound for live show, it is common to have drum triggering in live acoustic setup. Especially snare and kick drum.
Too many drummer using the drum trigger to mention. From Jojo Mayer to George Kollias..

Just my opinion

I think 1 take drum class next time but what the difference between someone who take class and dun take class?

isaac - ah? damn. haha. one of my favourite drums tu.

btw anything special about ddrum? snare kah hardware ka. haha. aside from their dios series of course. since well. they kan popular with QC issue. hehe. rosak here and there la.

Specialities? Their kits and drum triggers I guess. Yeap, I heard about that before, there are a lot of issues regarding the quality of their drums last time but maybe they have improved now. But their artistes are very well known, carmine appice, dave lombardo, vinnie paul, shawn drover, etc.

franklooi96: No, but I'm planning to switch to Guitar Collection OU later this year (it depends on the availability). The place where I'm teaching now is in Hartamas, a bit far from my house.

zul,

how much u charge for your class? how many times a week? how many hrs?

So you graduated Rockschool under Guitar Collection also?

What do you personally think about their syllabus?

wow a bit expensive for me... once a week 45 mins...

Well, I only teach beginners (still new). So the fee is around RM100-RM130, once a week, 30minutes per class. A bit expensive huh? hahaha..But I also teach at my friend's studio, RM80 for beginners and RM90 for Intermediate.  45 minutes per class.
No, I was a TGS student before.

hahaha, don't ask me that question laa, you're asking me like I'm a pro only, I'm still new laa. hahaha. But for me, the syllabus are good but you need to know how to apply it on your drums. For example, the triplet, in the book you need to do it on the snare, but you can also try it on the toms or hi-hats. Eg, 1 (bass drum)-2 (tom) - 3 (tom)  or 1 (hi-hat) -2 (hi-hat) -3 (snare).

I'm using an acoustic set at home. but to jaga my neihgbours' privacy, I only play them during office hours (10am-4pm on weekdays) and no drums on weekends. It's been almost 6 years already, didn't receive any complaints yet.

anyone has tried any Cadeson drum kits before?
I've tried the Lewis Pragasam's signature kit (Glaze series) and their Stadium series before. The Lewis Pragasam's kit is actually the original kit used by him, he left it at TGS Hartamas for a while. His acrylic set is a monster man, very big. Got tone and very punchy, I can say that it is worth buying( RM10K plus). The stadium series (RM3.8K) is quite nice also. The kit's resonance is fantastic. anyone?

never tried Cadeson kit before but I love to try one. I've watched LP played in a concert and at that time he is using his signature snare. Sounds awesome. Owh yea, there's a recording studio in PJ (Big A Productions) who also have Cadeson kit available for recording.

Third highest poster? Wow!

its funny and quite depressing when an unexperienced teacher can charge for that kind of money for 30 minutes, once a week. I still remember my drum teacher who only charge RM100 for 1 hour a week (sometimes 1hour 30mins).

and he was a 8th grader and have alot of experience.

Say guys, for a secondary snare, would you use a regular snare or get a drum pad?

Take a look at this, off CK's site.



The Korg Wavedrum.

You can get standard snare drums, kick sounds, toms, anything from a normal set, followed by tablas, bongos, etc.

I must admit, I'm intrigued. And the sound quality is pretty good too
