Better to buy a set/kit from the same brand, snares are an exception.

I might do a ishibashi, yahoo japan auction bulk. Pme me for more details.

I want in on the bulk! xD

In that case I'll have to clear off my snare and my hats, at least before my drums.

Okay, Pearl Piccolo going for RM299 with Remos, and HH Fusion Hats going for 1k.

012-2235233.

I thought your hats are HHX?

I have more than one pair of hats xD I use the HHX more live lah. But recently I've started using the HH for some shows.

I want to ask sifus here about my dilemma.

I loves drum but I can't play it loud in my house, I share the house with colleagues. Is there any way to lessen then noise from acoustic drums? How does playing with brushes compensate this?

I tried electronic drums, Either they are too expensive (rm 7k+ for the nice ones) or the budget models are too basic (only single zone ride and crash cymbals which sux, and still cost rm3.5k+). Both doesn't have much of the feel of acoustic drums too.

Everyday I'm thinking on drumming but I can't, it's killing me

Mute pads/ Mesh Heads like me. Though my bass drum is un-muted

So in contrast which one do you prefer? Got any brighter hats that you wanna sell?

Oh BTW Your ride still for Sale ka?

Well, you could try the Ludwish sticks or buy mute pads/mesh heads and trigger them, if you want.

Yeah, it's still kinda for sale. Prefer to trade though. But I'd consider selling. I love my ride most though.

Honestly right, the HH Fusion hats are really bright. HAHAHAHA! They're way brighter than my HHXs, and have a very defined "chick" to them. I attribute that to the air-vented bottom. They're actually pretty loud too. So unlike all the other HH hats that I've played. I used a pair of HHs at a gig in Singapore a short while back and those were dark and sultry. But these HH Fusions are so powerful and in your face. I think you might like them.

Edit: so which do I prefer? Hmm.. I still use my HHXs as my main hats, mainly cause that's "my sound" already, since I've been using them for quite a while now, and I'm used to the feel, but I've found some pretty good uses for the HH is some songs. xD If its good enough for Shawn Drover of Megadeth, it should be good enough for you HAHAHAHA! Interested? I need to sell them lah, not cause I don't like them, but I really need the cash for some other commitments.

Hmm HH Fusion Hats sound very tempting leh...will consider about it.

Wait does the other commitments = Upgrading?

No, something else. HAHAHA! Tell me if you do. I really need the cash gua!

Do any of you use any smartphone apps for practice or jamming, not just for drums but in general as well? So far i've only purchased an essential one - a metronome app Just wondering what other useful apps are out there.

Okay bro.

there's one sweet metronome apps which is FREE

Yeah, I've got an app called Mobile Metronome, which is free. I also use Gstrings (a tuning app), and several synth apps, but I usually use them only when I'm on guitar lah.

i use gstrings too , i mean the app, not the clothing

Gstrings just sound so

Tried a few free ones and they're crap. Reminds me of those free ones for PC as well, not enough features and poor accuracy... due to not making use of the PC's in-built MIDI chip for timing or something. Off topic a bit

Hmmm a tuner could be useful. Can tune drums to pitch eh...

oh, u mean, everywhere u hit on the skin, make sure the pitch frequency is almost the same ? that's how u tune drums?

Hmm.. Yeah. Macam Neil Peart HAHAHA!

The most common tuner used for drums is the DrumDial. I think Thalidomide is selling em.
