If I had the choice, I'd definitely go for acoustic, but in my current situation, I'd have to go with e-drums. I mean, obviously I could mute up my acoustics la, but I like being able to hear and "feel" more of what I'm playing. Why?

mute up acoustics , would it sound like hitting rubber ?

Yea the pad like terlampau bouncy

BTW anyone letting go of anything?

I have to loosen up some screws so that the mesh head is just not to bouncy. So it will feel close to the accoustic drum. Of course you need to spent some time adjusting the parameters after that. It just a matter of taste.

Yeeeeah. HAHA! Or use silent sticks. I'm thinking of going down that path, but then I'd be wasting the heads.

Yeah mate Letting go of my HH hats. I really need the money urgently.

oh silent sticks eh ? does it work well on cymballs too?

What about the room I set it up in? Does it have any effect? I see. Thank you so much for explaining.

Anything besides that?

Effect in what?

Just sharing with you guys...



I like the Yamaha Musashi snare.

Effect in the sound and response.

My Pearl Steel Piccolo with Remo Ambassadors. About RM500 new, letting go for RM299. I got my eyes on a new snare. D

Noobie drummer here...

Can anyone suggest a good twin pedal around RM1k. Doesn't matter if it is new or used. If RM1k won't get me a good twin pedal, how much do I need to top up?

Thanks.

You should be able to grab a Tama Iron Cobra for under RM1k used. I used one of them for one and a half years, and to date, even with my current Yamaha's (which I'm very happy with ) I don't regret them at all. They are extremely good, sturdy double chain pedals. Topup about RM500 and you could probably get them new.

Thank for the reply.

May I know which Iron Cobra model would you suggest for newbie? Power, Rolling or Flexi Glide?
What is your take on other make like Gibraltar, DW, Pearl and Yamaha?

If you like the "standard" feel of pedals then take Rolling Glide if you wanna try something new try power glide.

Hi, i m new comer.. Juz start learning drum..Do hope can learn from u all..

Do anyone now gammon drum set??it's extremely cheap, is it worth to buy for practising?? I'm doubt on it.

Its honestly all up to you. Most people go for Power or Rolling though.

I used to have a set of Rolling Glides but I've played extensively on the Power Glides as well. The Rolling Glides just seem smoother, while the Power Glides have that extra piece of "ooomph" to the feel of the kick. If you do get more cash on hand, do try the newer Tama Speed Cobras.

The Gibraltar pedals are very value for money and are the only "budget" ones that I'd recommend at lower price-points with solid hardware and such.

Never really been a fan of the Pearl Eliminators (the 2000) series, but the Demon Drive (the 3000) is very smooth to the touch, and extremely response.

The DW9000 (again, probably out of your reach at the moment) are really good pedals that a lot of pros (and other players) use. And right now I'm using a set of Yamaha DFP4500s, the last pedals to be made in Japan, as Yamaha has now moved its production somewhere down south. Really smooth, I like the feel and the hardware, no problems thus far.

Never heard of the brand before mate (: I suggest you avoid it.

Oh yea there is a new pedal!

Pearl DD but with chains

Thanks for the recommendation. There's a guy selling his DW9002 in the Trade Zone but unfortunately is way out of my budget.

Really pumped up on learning twin pedal after watching these:

me thinks you should master the single pedal 1st

Talk about pedals, any good bass drum practice?
