haha sorry...
well i think its something like that i dont remember what the feature is, but it seems helpful for me.... : /
i guess if your looking for beaters the only choice is trying them out wherever you ccan and choose the one you like best i guess...

ive tried the SH hats in my drum class at school and i must say theyre pretty good. closed theyre okay but they have a very nice chick imo... its good but of course not like zildjian mastersounds or anything... but its quite nice last i checked you can get it for RM300++ from TGS hartamas (thats where i buy MY stuff so i fdont know the price at other places but its around that price there.

BTW: kari, i like how nice your kit looks.... i saw the pics from your drum blog from when you bought it and youve really done an amazing job.

im gonna start saving up again so by the timme mmy birth day comes and raya comes, i can merge money to get some new cymbals
i have to start doing more stuff to earn money too....

i cant really remember but its around RM20-RM30 each. The part number is GK-90

first i remove the original tom bracket, then clean up the residue of the bracket on tom then i send the toms to JS Music because the masking plate not fit into my original bracket hole. (The orginal bracket have 2 screw holes and the masking plate is actually for newer Exports which have 3 screw holes). So the guy there make a new hole to fit my masking plate and it covered the hole that allows tom arm to penetrate into the toms.
Finally, i put Optimounts on the Toms.

hope that helps.

Party2DMax, Nintendo Wii: it took alot of elbow grease job to clean such a 24 years old rusty drums. i almost give up at some point because i cant stand the polishing job but patient really pays off.

Namqul: ive also spotted Stagg cymbals few times... RTM uses them in some small shows and i also remembered big concert in TV3 where 'Sotong' is the drummer for the show where he uses Stagg china and few crashes i think.
They dont bring DH Hats? Too bad! I've asked Daniel to bring it in but he cant guarantee me

600 for which?

Your snare

Nintendo: i think you are just going to say that. most probably youll be buying them alot faster. lol~

Kari: im quite sure they have DH hats, but they surely dont bring in DH fat hats. try asking around. Burgercis also deals stagg rite? do check with him. anyway, whats your budget?

Anyone here have experience with percussions? Im looking for a bongo/darabuka. i went to a shop yesterday, SX Bongo is only about 140 but meinl one cost 350. man thats almost double.

ugpm when u wanna try my snare?
may i have you num

hmmm what do you mean by that? : /


well i love my new pedal... its so much easier doing doubles and its just so customizable!

RM600 for a Masters Custom snare? thats a steal. c'mon guys dont lose this super great deal!!!! (don8ld, u shd belanja me when the snare got sold)

ive PM burgercis dude but he still didnt reply my PM

my budget? ermm probably RM800 below for both hihats and ride. yeah... im on very tight budget

nintendo: what i meant by that is that u surely save money better then a working person. i cant even make it to 500 in 2 month like u did dude.

kari: hmm in that case, why not go with zildj? ive tried zxt if im not mistaken. quite impressive. very nice chick sound. can get about rm420/450 if i remember correctly. then, you can try your luck for ride. worse come to worse, solar is under 200 dude. hehe.

i feel you man.... too many things to pay and the new fuel price really pressured average joe like me. damn.. how i wish i was born earlier! ahahaha...

ZXT? ermm... ive played ZXT titanium hats and ride before and i dont like it. the hats sound very metallic and the ride is too washy. too much! same goes with my previous Sabian Pro ride... i cant stand the washiness... its just too much. ive heard good thing about ZHT though but i think the price is much more expensive than ZXT. Solar? i dont wanna waste my money on those.

ive talked to Daniel again and he said he have to clear his current Staggs stock first before he can order a new shipment.

but your budget is 800 dude. that is quite tight, plus ur getting ride and hats, witch is more expensive than other type of cymbals. heres another suggestion, i think JS still have few pairs of VB hats. you can try those. priced at 300. i dont like the way they sound, it does not hurt to try rite. and for ride, burgercis quoted me 5xx for a dh ride. try giving him a call.

namqul: oh okay... thanks.

Kari: Maybe you could try and go for the ZHT mastersounds theyve actually been compared to A mastersounds. from what ive read they seem like a very good budget choice. ive heard a few hats(zht) and i think they are way better than my B8's. i mean, even some pros are using the ZHT mini-hats! and for the ride you might wanna try the B8 ride. seriously! imo after aging it, it has a very nice ping and its not too washy.

heres a clip of comparison for the hats.

a friend of mine advice me to buy those hats too. but the price is a bit confusing. before this, he went to JS and saw the pricetag for the hats is RM270. When he came next week, the price have been increased to RM300++ . Therefore he didnt take it and bought my Sabian Pro hats instead

500++ for DH ride? how does it sound? bright? washy? 500 is a big investment for a ride and i dont want to bluntly buy it if i dont try it first...

Nintendo Wii: i believe that is a New Beats hats and not A Mastersound. yeah... they sound quite similar but New Beats are better i think.

Kari: yeah, i meant the newbeats... sorry.

the new beats are better but for the price, you gotta admit, the ZHT's are very nice. and these are the regular ones not the mastersounds.

and as for the DH ride, heres a link to try it out, but remember, as staggs are all completely hand made, the sound differs from cymbal aLOT.

I tried the Pearl quad beater and it's fine. I can't see how it can be tangibly poorer than the Cobra beater, if at all. But I kinda expected the beater to be turnable like Slug beaters, lol.

Anyway, I've found that the Gibraltar bass practice pad is poorly designed and cannot accomodate unconventional pedals. I can suggest at least one zero-cost improvement.
I have no choice but to mod it - gonna get a couple threaded holes drilled so that it can fully rest on spikes, and is lifted higher. I'm also gonna get it weighted... probably fill it with lead shot.
As if there's not enough work.

Oh, and the rubber playing surface needs a patch. The thing isn't durable; tiny bits of rubber fall off at every strike.

So there's my review of this product. Not so good, eh? Even so, the Pearl one isn't any better and would require just as many fixes.
The average guy probably wouldn't mind these things but since I have the means, I cannot leave this inferior product alone >=D

ive tried the Gibraltar kick practice pad. its sucks. the rubber felt so cheap and its like so bouncy. the Pearl one is much better and from my reading in PDF, it really imitates the feel of real bass drum.


but its expensive.

There you go with your "feel" again =P But honestly I don't think the rubber feels cheap. It's just fragile... very.
The Pearl is not more expensive by much. SGD50 at Swee Lee's sales, or RM190 before discount at Bentley.
The Gibraltar is RM160 after discount.

And another important thing... the above problems only applies to usage with Axis double pedals.
It may or may not have problems with other double pedals but I think there would be no problems with any single pedals.
Oh well, it should be all good after the mod. Just like the saying, "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself".

im gonna audition for a band later this week hope i get in

still selling my pedal and snare

auditioning as the drummer or guitarist?

why dont you take some decent photos of your snare... i think thatll help :/
