I'm getting bored of seeing the same old sh*t being discussed here.

Not everybody has the resources (Read: Money) to get gears all the time. How about we shift the topic to something we can afford to spend: TIME!

#1 How often do you fellow drummers practice a week?
#2 What rudiments, techniques you focus on?
#3 If not, what songs you usually play along with in your practice hours?

Isaac if you going do help me ask about AAX 21" Stadium Ride. Thanks!

Ok yamaha double pedal, rm2400, discount 20%. online price is 220 pounds *shock*

A BIG NO NO FOR THE YAMAHA PEDAL!! PLS!! haha. used it be4. thats y. unless ur talking about the old flying dragon.

futuredarth - hurm. better buy a better set dude. if u wanna change it, takut the tech guy would say better buy a new one than order up the pads. haha.

No one bought anything from Yamaha Sale?

US? Too far for me if Aussie/SG maybe I can. 

So you like Acrolite eh? I like Black Beauty (Prefer brass) 

I used to fantasise about Ludwig Black Beauties but after checking out other brand's stuff and doing more research, I can't help but wonder if the splay on the tension rods is intentional or just shoddy design...

The strainer seems to be problematic as well. This shows that while Made-in-USA stuff is generally really good, there are some not-so-good eggs in the basket.

That said, Ludwig's designs have inspired so many makers and honestly, I drool over some of the 'copy-cat' products From the Black Beauty-type snare drums (i.e. Joyful Noise), to the shell configuration and materials (i.e. C&C Custom Drums), those are the stuff made of dreams.

HAHA! Nice to meet you too

Hydraulics sounds too dead for me IMO if going unmic situations my ideal set up for heads are coated singly ply for rack toms and clear double ply for Floor Toms.

Tried the PCRD on my friends snare and it's abit weird when u not hitting in the centre... 

I see...ease of tuning interesting... interesting indeed

Since we talking about heads...anyone of you guys have tried the new heads by Evans? G-Plus and G14?

My stock skins are like G1. G2 will sound much better?

u must be living at semidetached, or bungalow? if at terrace, afraid of making noise that annoys neighbour 

thanks people. i changed the stocked evans to G2 coated for rack and floor toms. they sounded more huge ! except the smaller rack tom is quite "bongo"-ish, a bit difficult to tune.

for snare, I changed to single ply power centre reverse dot. wow damn nice, very loud.

what bout bass drum skins? will it be different if i change them? now it sounded too "canon" like. want it to be more "tight and punchy"

from the looks of it, not many play electric drums here?

how do you guys sustain stamina for your kick drums? i'm only able to sustain for half an hour and then i'll start playing off beat. one of my pro friend places his whole feet down and raises only the front part of his feet, while i tend to have my whole feet up. his technique sustains stamina, but with his technique i find playing faster beats difficult.

what should i do to improve my kick drums? should i focus more on the technique, or should i just exercise the whole leg more?

may i know for suggestion. i planning to get a Brushes. Which brand do you guys suggest ?
