hey, thanks nin wii. this drumset is custom made. the wood finish is just wallpaper but i gonna replace it soon. pls dont ask how to custom coz i bought it from some1 else in a new condition except the cymbals n throne.

i dont really know how to tune it yet:(
still learning with trial n error.

what type of wood used for your kit, how many layers
really interested to know..u bought it locally or order outside

albarb: i think its 7layer maple mix

i got it from some1 in lyn, so its local.

since ure interested to know, the tom skins r evans hyraulic, bass is pearl eq2 resonant n batter, hardware from gibraltar, tama double pedal single chain(bought this myself 2years ago), others r just normal stuff;)

mix with other type of maple or mis with other type of wood
interesting...i thought of building my custom drum to
just need to find the suitable wood and good carpenter

i asked the seller b4 n he told me it is mixed with other wood material but he doesnt know which.
i just wonder where he find all these stuff from. building a custom drumset will be very interesting but u need to hv a lot of knowledge in drums n also where to get the parts. for all the time doing all this i think ill prefer to practice my drumming skills,lol.
like i alwiz tell my frens, skills is a lot more important than the equipment;)

i agree with u, practice makes perfect, but as a human being we will never be perfect,
so in the process of getting to the level of thomas lang or mike portnoy, custom drum is one of my dreams

for hardware parts like hoops, lugs, tendsion rod...i always can buy them.
its the shell im talking about, the building and construction of a drum shell.
where i can find someone that sell maple, poplar, mahagony..etc ply wood.
or maybe i can try build a snare, using a solid wood...but where can i find
an equipment to bent a solid wood.

i saw a dw solid maple snare cost about 4k, maybe if is there a carpenter that can build it,
i would like to try...i think it would cost much much more cheaper.

the knowledge and idea is there...but the material and technology i could not find (i mean here in malaysia)
b4 this i already tried asking from furniture builder...but they didn't reply anything yet

just my personal opinion,suggestion and dreams

u got a point as a dream n passion in drums. for me i gotta b so highly skilled until what ever drums in the market cant satisfy me anymore only i will seek to built my own custom drums.

the drums market in malaysia is bad. as u can see not many drummers n also drums equipment available. what more if ure looking for custom shells;)

no matter wat we shud b proud as a drummer as we re rare in malaysia^^

i totally respect ur opinion...one of my perspective of building a custom drum is just like u said..."when im truly skillful and the market does not offer me what i need"

for another perspective im seeking to build a custom drum, just like u said as well, Malaysian drum market are limited and expensive. so..maybe if i could build it (which i could only dream of) maybe i can duplicate pearl reference, dw collector series or tama drum for a much much much much more cheaper
cost.

yes, i am proud to be a malaysian drummer

yes true enuf n a lot cheaper. like my drumset is is meant to duplicate pearl export.

nickoholic: nice custom drumkit u hv, dude... wonder where did ur seller get this drumset...

It's this drum isn't it... someone one posted this link before so your drum looks kinds familiar.

dude, if you bought those kit, mind selling me the hardware bag for the stands? hehe.

yeah when you said custom made and over lyn, i remembered that thread with the custom stuff... i actually enquired to get the stands seperate... xD

no wonder it looked familiar...

well if its the china made practice cymbals, im pretty sure the DH is already a good step up

lol,now is like every1 here know the source of my set d^^
bocor periuk!
so far only the hihat sucks.other cymbals r more than enuf for me,just needed another splashy crash

r u asking me? trade bag for stands? pm me more info la actually im plannign to get another bigger hardware bag coz the current bag is just fitting for my current hardwares at the mo. if i get new crash meaning an extra stand. i need bags n cases so much thats the reason y i got this set. during transportation my kit is fully cased at the mo!
at least once a month ill need to transport it to my basist's house for jamming. guitarist is in pg so he comes back every month at least just to jam

yeh yeh, i saw yr post also asking for stands but it seems like everywhere i see yr post asking about stands. wot kind of alien stand r u looking for actually?
the cymbals r fine,dont look down on them. but the hihat is a must to change

WHo has stagg sh 14 hihats at the moment? i wish to hear the sound b4 i decide to buy
btw, is what other choices of hihats available if my budget is around rm300-400?

waaaah, not only has this thread become as active as the drummers paradise, but its also already seems like saru88/iPohBoy's original question is now completely irrelevant...

hahaha...
it's okay...
since this thread is all about questions 1... lolx...

this thread is all about noob question!

well, i haf one..

Do you guys suffer blistering fingers due to playing drums?
