This my third time

I want to learn drum too. Where would you suggest? Petaling Jaya / Damansara area is fine.

Thanks in advance

hello all..
ive picked up drums since late June 2014 and im enjoying every bit of it..
i go for classes in a centre but now im thinking to get an acoustic drumset at my home...
spoke to my instructor a few times and because i would prefer something value for money and inexpensive, she recommended 2 places i can check out..

JS Music and Doremi - what do u guys think about this place?

for JS music she recommended the PDP drums and JS cymbals.
for Doremi is Sonor ?

I'm taking lessons at Guitar Collection Taman Tun outlet.

Value for money ?

Buy USED.

Buy the best cymbals you can afford, because drum can change the drum head so the sound can be changed easily.

Been awhile since I'm here guys.

Anyway, I'm going to offload most of my stuff to fund for a DW. Will post it here too.

Tell us more about the DW you are funding.

Funding for a performance series shell pack. Need to sell off enough fund before purchasing though.

Attached is the list of items on sale. Will also put up a thread in the garage sale section.

Nice inventory you got there, you love splash cymbals eh ?

NFS = Not For Sale?

Hi all drum sifus, I have tried a few drums around KL and these are the few drums I've narrowed down but couldn't really decide.

Tama Starclassic Performer B/B, Yamaha Live Custom, Pearl MCX, and Truth Drum.

Personally, I find the Tama unit to be unique. Birch + Bubinga does give a very fat sound with a good mid although the Pearl MCX have a better mid and high and the pearl seems to be very open while the Tama unit I find the sound very closed up.

Then went to try out my friend's Yamaha Live Custom, and oh boy! What a beast! Sounded so much fatter than the Tama and clearly outshine the Pearl as well. It kind stand out, however when contacted Yamaha don't have stock, not until April or May.

Then tried out Truth at TGS. Man, those shells sings! And the workmanship is way better than the other 3 brands.

So am pretty bumped. For economical wise - I'll go with Tama. For sound wise - The pearl might suit me, but the Yamaha sounds really really good (just need to go to friend's place to whack it again), and for workmanship wise - Truth is the bet.

I own a Yamaha Recording Custom (second hand unit), Sonor Select Force, and Ludwig Acrylic kit (hand down unit from uncle, 1980s kit)

What about sizes?

For me Live Custom/ Performer BB > MCX > Truth Drums

Is there any shop you guys know that offer installment plan ? I'm planning to invest in a drum set for myself although I'm just started... But I don't think I could afford the full payment now for a decent drum set.

Thanks in advance !

At that price point, it boils down to preference (and drum heads), really.

I've recorded the Starclassics, and I've found them to be among the most versatile drums I've played. A little bit of tuning, and a quick head switch, and you've got a completely different tone. The Starclassics would be my safe option - good thumps, great value for money, and pretty decent resale value down the road. The MCXs offer more clarity perhaps (as you've mentioned), and I've always been a fan of what Pearl does to their kits, but I'd side with the Tama on this one.

Live Customs on the other hand are a whole other monster - one of the best kits I've had the pleasure of working with, but availability is an issue, and there's no reason why any of the other drums here couldn't bust out a good drum tone as well. Truth - they're custom kits, aren't they? Hence the quality of the workmanship - but it depends on what specs you'd want, of course.

I'd go with the Tama.

Size wise am looking for 10 TT, 12 TT , 16 FT, 20 BD (preferable smaller like 18 if possible)
But definitely changing my skin to evans GH2, not a remo fan.

For now, am still asking around for other drummer's experiece. Of course presently the Live Custom sounds like a rather unique sound since haven't had Oak for a drumset before, but the Tama is definitely an interesting fit of bubinga and birch.


Thanks so much for the recommendation on the Starclassics, while keep it in view since am pretty much attracted to hybrid sound or unique wood tones at the moment.

So right now its really between the Starclassics and the Live Custom for me. Yet to decide, since need CNY is going to kill my pocket. LOL

Guys, going to buy a electronic drum set (can't get an acoustic cause too loud)

I have 2 choices here:

Roland TD-11k
Yamaha DTX522

Which 1 should I go for? I've tried roland's mesh pad and i think they feels great but I haven't try out Yamaha's yet. Any yamaha e-drum owner here? Any feedbacks?

Thanks

I own a dtxpress iv special. imho, yamaha sound is better than roland (sounds real, not as synthesized as roland). but the downside, the pad acoustically sounds a bit loud, compared to roland's mesh.. have tried silicone pad, they bounced better, and the sound oso not as loud as it's predecessor. so I think i'd go for dtx522

ahh i see, but gonna find a plce with the drum set, gonna try it out first before i can land any conclusions. Thanks for the feedback though, appreciated

guys, am going to get a electronic drum.
for a budget about 2k, what is the recommended and decent model?

for now i saw alot ppl suggest roland TD 3. is it good as suggested?
hw about yamaha DTX450k ?
