yala..3 racks + 2 floor + 1 snare + 1 Bass = 7 pc

5p3ak - u think so ez ah double bass. haha. to accomodate the extra bass drum would need a big room. a BIG one.

and u need to tune it to a same pitch.

and u need to buy two single pedals.

and the neighbour will become crazier than ever with the double bass noise.

fuu might just use the money to buy more hardwares.

and btw how Trick is supposed to be overprice in US, since they were made there?

Not really my thing la. :/ On my floor, I like the Hydraulics. For my rack toms, G2 nice Got lovely ringing tone. For my 14' floor, I use G2 laaa. But 16, I like that dampened sound.

Drum dial quite nice...convenient.but don't you think it's quite expensive?some more even torque on every lugs doesnt mean all of them will have equal pitch..as far as i understand la...

Not this year HAHAHAHA! Last year got, this year too busy :/
Anyway, I set up and tuned drums for one of my clients today (my school ).

Basically, they ordered two sets of the Ludwig Element kit with Evans heads, and I threw in some cymbals and Gibraltar hardware, cause it was quite a big order, with a lot of other audio equipment including amps and mics, etc.

So, I set up one of the kits today, and mixed it in with the previous set (Pearl Forum )

And now the entire kit goes like this. Its not the best stuff, but for a school, I have to admit its already pretty okay lah. FOR A SCHOOL. xD

Cymbals: Stagg EXK 14' hi hats, Pearl 14'  hi-hats (side hats ), Stagg EXK 20' ride , Pearl 18' crash ride, Meinl HCS 12' china, Stagg EXK 16' crash, Meinl HCS 16' crash.

Drums (from left to right): Pearl Forum 16' floor, Pearl Forum 14 x 6.5 steel snare, Ludwig Element 14 x 6.5 snare, Element 10' tom, Element 12' tom, Element 22' bass drum, Element 13' floor tom, Element 16' floor tom.

The Element toms are outfitted with Evans Hydraulics (its durable, will last long, and super easy to tune, making crap drums sound decent ), the bass drum has a coated EMAD (again, very durable, and doesn't ring, with a consistent, if not dynamic tone - perfect for hard rock and metal, actually), and the snare has a Power Centre Reverse Dot, coated (which when matched with a relatively deep snare like this, gives a very fat sound).

Pictures soon, maybe. HEHEHEHE.

I might be able to get bass drum mute.
No way bro. Not at all. Hydraulics for toms, yes, not for your snare. AT ALL. xD
Try Onyx, if you want a dark sound, perhaps? Double ply.

Anyway, have you tried putting rings on your head for the overtones? And get ProSound snare wires, or something tight?

Added on December 31, 2011, 4:30 pmSorry for the horrible handphone pictures, but yeah. This is the school kit that I was talking about a few posts earlier that I set up yesterday. Playing at my school next year is going to be a blast!

my new baby. (without cymbals)

any recommendation on 3pack cymbals set suitable for rock/metal and not expensive ?

DH Brilliant, I don't have the pack as well, cause I get it from UM. xD go to their website, see what's in stock and what you want., and let me know.
MCS, not sure if in stock, but regular price RM1000.

dunno wor 5p3ak, im not drummer. i've paid for it, 6 piece, taking it next saturday. i forgot whether it's 3 tomtoms, or 2 floor toms.

Gretsch Catalina Maple 6 piece. got it from JSMusic. 30% discount - RM26xx good deal leh. They have another one 5 piece, but smaller kick drum.

Got it for house decoration..... no lah, for my upcoming recording/rehearsal studio.

Why not? :/
That'll be a kickass studio then. What else have you got for it? I wanna come

buy used drum = f**king smart

i can't stand the sound of my drum. need to wear earphone when playing to cover the sound. if not, i may be deaf by now.
i'm going to buy my 2nd drum key to tune, 1 drum key hard la 

near my house, i think is "Chan Acedemy"  i ordered my drum from them, they said they can get a "cheaper price".. rm2500 pearl target w/ cymbal w/ stand

ps music school

I disagree mate Different drummers use different setups lah, true, but you also have to recognize that there is a different tone and pitch in them
I pity you mate :/ I usually don't buy or deal for music schools cause of that very reason.
Anyway guys, I'm thinking of selling my Ludwig Epic; used for only one recording session, and its been stored away (except for the bass drum, that I pull out once in a while for gigs) ever since.

If anyone is interested, let me know.
I'll need to find out the price of the drums I want to get before deciding.

hey guys, you guys know where to buy snare drum head, maybe i can "un-terrible" my snare a bit.

recommend me the brand, model and buy from who  

yeap.that's a common combination. from what i read,some says that it is the standard combination for most recording studios.

what do you mean over? top remo bottom evans?

so what price should i expect for both?
