guys... planning to buy a double pedal. Any recommendation? want to use with my roland kit at home. Should i just get a simple cheap Dixon pedal (cost ~RM550) or china licensed TAMA (~RM950) or just wait longer and save more to get Iron Cobra (~RM1500).

btw, got lot of complaints from my floor neighbour (staying in apartment) due to noisy vibration while playing, and managed to make a drum riser which solve my problems. Now i can play anytime even at midnight

Hello there dear drum gods,
This aspiring skinsman need some advice on where to find a cheap unbranded drum throne.wwnt around looking but most shops are pushing those mat salleh named brand for close to 200.

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)

bro, it would be nice if we can hear the sound it makes. share a vid of you covering a song perhaps? 

Anyone keen on trying out the Sabian Big & Ugly Series? One of my church mate is currently Yamaha Drums Product Manager, so he's asking me to just ask around.

Looking for feedback and constructive critisism on my cover of Nothing Else Matters, my first cover that is not in 4/4 time signature. Thanks.


IMO you should go and try them out. IIRC Bentley do carry Roland drums.

My friend is looking for this series. Is Yamaha Malaysia bringing it in anytime soon?

Hi sifu all. I want ask always when I play other ppl kit many times their Tom is at one angle quite Horizontal that when I try play will hit the rim easily. I need angkaty elbow very high to avoid hit the rim. Usually I adjust more vertical to able hit the Tom easily.

I want ask is it my playing wrong or wat that I encounter many ppl put the Tom quite Horizontal? How they avoid hit the rim?
