Yes, including BRONZE hardware.
Yep, planning on getting a bass, a floor and a snare, and that's it. Considering my options now.

I smell some



Planning on sending it to my cousin there (with free shipping) and asking my cousin to ship it over. Carry back drums? SIAO MEH?
The kit I'm looking at has an 18x24 bass, so, I'll ask them to take out the heads and fit the shells inside each other.



Yep, I have Puresound.

Uhh, no bro. Yamaha is selling at the recommended retail price.
Its just that we're so used to looking at US prices which are extremely discounted.
You'd have to include our humongous taxes and shipping and so on.

Pearl Vision is pretty okay lah. If I'm not mistaken, the latest retail price is around RM3.5k.
Ludwig Classic Maple on the other hand is pretty darn expensive. HAHAHAHA!

About US2k+ for a kit? After the conversion, shipping, taxes its pretty high.

AND HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT! HAHAHAHA!
You've got a very happy Sabian guy right here. I've been using Sabian for pretty much my whole drumming life, and I'm extremely happy. Sure, I've come across other cymbals that are pretty good by other brands, but overall, up till now, Sabian has been perfect for my style.

The SBR is the lowest range Sabian at the moment. Try out some AAXs and HHXs and maybe you'll change your mind?

That's pretty cheap actually; the old model, clear stock ka?


What Ah Toi put up is pretty correct, and can be taken as a rule of thumb, but you do come across inconsistencies with those facts lah. Cause, all wood is different.

RM990 retail, I'll get you RM880. But the Staggs are really good for the price.

Yep.

Well, depends lah, haven't decided yet.





I'm selling my Ludwig Epic for RM3000, its a midrange kit, and is one of the best you can get for the price. I only used mine for one recording session and it has been stored away since. It comes with 4 toms as well! But no snare, however. I could throw in a snare for a few hundred bucks more, though.

It is something like the picture above, but without a snare, and one of the floor toms is suspended, instead of having legs. Sexy kan?

The thing about this kit is that, there is, firstly, an awesome finish, secondly, you can move the toms around. You can have 3 rack toms and one floor tom, two floor toms and two rack toms, or one rack tom and three floor toms, all are possible.

YES! ZBTs are really horrible. I honestly don't like them. I would go for the RM1100 one, mate. But it would honestly be awesome if you'd save up a bit more and get at least a midrange set, like the XS20. Or even save up more and get a full pro-level cymbal set like jenglot's one.

Still interested in the crash alone bro HAHAHAHA!

My favourite setup that I've played on is four rack (8, 10, 12, 13), two down (16,18) and one more floor (16 on my left) with two snares (one 14 x 5.5 and one 13 x 3), three crashes in front (16,16,16), two rides on the right (20,22), one china/crash stack (14, I think), one 18' crash on my right, one 20' china next to the crash, and one pair of x-hats.

Gigantic Tama Superstar kit with Sabians HAHAHAHA! That was a blast to play on; was a two night thing only though.

And the MCS RM340.



By the way, does anyone have/plans to order a copy of Gary Chester's The New Breed? It's one of the best books out there for drummers, and I'm planning on ordering a copy from Amazon. Anyone wanna bulk with me?

Not sure bro :/ Maybe about RM1.1k+?

Bentleys only :/ I can get you both, for a discounted price. PM me for information. Why not look at the Speedcobras?


Nope, I muffle externally, even for studio work. Much more flexible, especially with moongel nowadays and so on. I guess, depends what you want to muffle for?

If bulk order, I'll get lah.

Bulk is a lot. xD Maybe at least 10 or 20?

Time to get spares

Precisely why I drum outside. But I'll be starting a studio in my condominium soon, so... yeah. But I guess afternoons should be fine. Just let your neighbours know that you'll be practicing for a while, and buy them some cookies, and it ought to be fine

Studios or whatnot la. But especially cause this year got major exams, I doubt can do much.

Depends on your neighbours lorh

From me, about Rm1.8k.

That is a very nice setup, but it looks like you don't have either enough space or enough stands HAHAHAHA!
Record something and post it up bro I'm dying to know what that Dream is like.

No drum mat/carpet? xD Be careful that the kick doesn't move yeah?

Depends what direction you're taking also with your mics



BTW, zzzxtreme what overheads are you using? I'm using the Audio Technica Pro 37R now.

Ahh, I see.

Yes, even small changes here and there, like the direction you position your mics, or even two or three inches closer or farther, will result in a drastic sound change. So yeah

Do we need any particular qualifications?

I currently have a kit that has 2 layers of birch with maple in between

Between the two of them though, I love the sound of birch when it comes to rock, and maple when I'm playing lighter music. However, that's just MY preference. Everyone has their own taste

Favourite wood so far = Oak. xxD

Yup. HAHAHAHA! But the sound is just so powerful

Anyone interested in recording drums for a cover project I want to do soon? x)

Yes! I'm selling my Epic RM3.2k, I guess, with hardware and everything. no snare though. But add a hundred bucks and I'll throw in a snare.

I'm not adding any cymbals in mate! xD The kit came for 4+ without cymbals. Just hardware. :/ I could add cymbals for very low prices though.
The condition is pretty good, I guess. I used it for just one recording session, then its been in a box ever since.

It's in my sig. 012-2235233

I just contacted the people from which I want to order my future (sooner, rather than later, if someone takes my Epic off me) drums from, and it'll take about 6-12 months to get here xD

Ahh, I see, cause I never took proper formal lessons with the exams and stuff.

Shipping will be few hundred USD IIRC. yeah, can
I'm planning to get a small set lah, easy and portable. Think Travis Orbin and Matt Halpern and you'll have an idea of the config I want

IF it goes through, and it will, if one of you decide to buy my Epic, then you'll see (whatever kit I buy, be it DW, or Yamaha, or Ludwig, or Mapex or whatever) it faster lorh

But it'll only happen if I sell the Epic lahh, if not then no space I might keep the Epic if I can't sell it and put some triggers on it lorh.



PM me.
