Sorry, I meant personal preference xD HAHAHA!


Its was just a figure of speech where he meant don't get the flimsy ones that break easily.

I've never tried any of those before...

Need to buy both and try .... And sell the one u dont like here..

Got market for used heads meh?

some of my friends say I need to stick somekind of padding or something on my kick drum so that the skin wont pecah easily is it true?

If have also u wont buy laa...only asking...

You mean a flam patch or smth? I've never use them b4

See teh condition 1st

it will add some durabality to your skin...and reduce the the ring abit..

can use tape also...the one with benang..

Haven't posted here in sometime so here's my 2 cents, from my own experience so others might beg to differ:

On the snare heads, I dunno what the discussion was but my advice: just stick to Evans, I like the popular EC Snare/Hazy 300 combo but others are good too. Attack is far too expensive and hence poor value for money, Aquarian is a gamble quality-wise (from my bad experience), and while Remo is good, the stuff they sell here seems dodgy (they don't even come in proper boxes!). I have 2 sets of Remo Emperor X Coated/Emperor Hazy combo that I got from US and these came in proper boxes; I don't think Bentley sells these. But as usual if your snare/tuning is crap, even the good heads will sound like crap. I remember playing one very ringy metal snare that has an Evans ST Dry batter... it sure's hell didn't sound "dry" at all!

On the inverted cymbal, just bend it back, it'll be fine. Someone mentioned stepping on it, and that sounds about right.

On the patch for the bass drum, just get the proper one, don't use duct tape etc. It's a compulsory item (at least to me). I'd recommend the Evans one from JS Music, made from fabric, not the other clear plastic one. Clear plastic one is not durable at all.

I see BTW Why MIA so long uh?

I agree.
I've never played Attack before, but I see what you mean. With Aquarian there was the problem of not being able to get the heads that you wanted whenever you wanted it a few years back because of low stocking levels, but I'm not sure about now.

As for the Remo vs Evans battle, I guess that is subjective to your own needs. I'm currently using Evans on everything except for my main 13' snare, and I have a Remo Ambassador on that, cause it just suits it best, and there's also an Ambassador on my 14' side snare. The Evans Power Centre Reverse Dot just doesn't have enough "oomph" for me, and bounce too.

I'll probably get the EC next month or so.

thanks i'll go find those drum patch at JSMusic. it's about US$7 online, I supposed they will cost US$15 in malaysia

Nope, it was about RM20+ for two, a few years back lah. Maybe dah increase? No idea.

What's up guys.

This is scaring the crap out of me:-
