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.

Aww man...haizz Mesh heads pun no stock...I guess every 1 getting ready for 2012 

what do you think about evans hydraulics on a snare drum? i was thinking bout changing the batter head to replace the remo black-x i have on it...i just felt that it's just the wrong head for my snare.tried everything tuning-wise,my snare still rings like s**t and not to mention the rattle that it caused on the wires...gosh..

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...

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?

it measure the tension of the drum skin, u actually achieve similar result like listening to the skin when you tune each of the lugs

you doesn't need it if you can tune/listen very fast and accurate. Same like some ppl use tuner to tune guitar while some can just strum and tune~

I used the tama tension watch but I believe it is same with drum dial

hey guys! I'm currently under a drum teacher near my house and I wanted to change instructor.
which is better go to music school and learn from drum teachers or buy programmes online?  

yeah tried muffling already,but im opting for a change of head instead and see where it takes me to..i just like to play open n oyeah,gotta love that warm,dark sounding snare.hehe.how bout evans genera dry or HD dry?saw some review and it seems that they have some kind of holes and muffler built underneath to control the ring.im using a mapex mpx birch 13x6 btw.

btw is evans onyx similar to remo black suede emperor?

that's the kit for your school?damn..the kit for my residential college doesn't even comes close!
