We are a bit dead. HAHA.

On the brighter side, SPM is over, and I'm close to securing my first gig as a contract sessionist.

Showed my wife the picture of the Ludwig Epic. She didn't like it.
She likes the PDP Concept Maple ... White finishing.

Thank you very much.
Will give you a call if we are to drop by.
You must be awesome!!

HAHAHA No la. Maybe we'll have something in January, in a club in Mont Kiara. Details not finalized yet. Will let you guys know if anything works out.

Awesome HAHA. No, I'm just a drummer who's blessed with opportunities. HAHA.

For anyone who's interested, cover charge is RM35 for guys above 21, and free for girls over 18, inclusive of a drink. Do give me a call/text at +6012-2235233 if you're planning to drop by.

Your modesty is killing me

HAHA. Let's have a LYN drummer's showcase one day, and everyone brings their band or something. Then you can see how my playing is. HAHA Okay? And btw, it's not very good. HAHA.

Hahaha .... It's kinda rare these days, don't you think so?

Yah so rare man...btw I heard Bentley having sales...

It's christmas season and year end. It'll be foolish not to have a sale when your competitors are doing so. JS Music is having sale too.

A recent drum setup I used for a recording..

Just wondering ... if I get my first drum kit, do I go with the set of cymbals the shop bundle it with the drum kit OR;

Should I shop for the cymbals separately. I would like to keep the cost down too.

How do you guys pick your cymbals? What are the things I should look out for? Thick cymbals or thin ones?

So sorry for the noob questions. I am totally lost here.

I did ask ... and it was some "J" brand. The cymbals have some J logo printed on it. Generally, how much should I spend on cymbals alone?

There's zildjian, istanbul, meinl, paiste, sabian .... not to mention there's so much options within each brand.

It's like Chee Cheong Fun with multiple choices of sauces. Different sauce will bring different taste.

Maybe if you guys can tell me what cymbals you guys are using or prefer ... it'll help me narrow down the selection.

If you have the time, do tell how did you go about buying your first set of cymbals. Whether it sucks or not and whether you regret it LOL

Added on December 8, 2012, 3:52 pmHow often do you need to replace the cymbals?
I just learnt that there'll be wear and tear. And cymbals need replacing.

That looks gooding

You know us drum fanatics...specs please

My advice, buy USED professional Cymbals that are in good condition.

Oh my 1st cymbal set came with the kit...Zildjian ZBTs...okay lah...I bought Sabian 13" HH fusion hats and worth the money...

Now planing to replace my Ride cymbal with Sabian AAX Stadium Ride


Anyways...if for some unknown reason you can't hear the cymbal in person try searching it at Memphisis Drum Shop youtube

Their recording sounds very similar to the real thing itself AFAIK No EQ is used. But keep in mind the actual cymbal will be different, especially Hand Hammered Ones.

Good cymbals don't need to cost a lot. There's some no-name brand I played that I liked... forgot the name but it's mentioned somewhere in the previous thread. Sold at Harmony Music (Damansara Uptown) back in 2010, not sure if they still carry it now. Seriously when I played it I was like, wtf is that?

Another value-for-money brand would be Stagg. Bona fide pro-level cymbals at affordable prices. Get their highest-end ones like the DH series and you can't go wrong.

As for personal preference, I like any cymbals that are good, and there are many. You can tell by just playing them with your hands. My own set is all Sabian HHX save for one Legacy ride, and I even have some not so common ones like the Ozone crash and a big china. They're great

personally im a drummer on a "budget" but im quite impress with Stagg i love it. cheap and decent. but sure cant compare to other high end brand's high end stuff la.
