travis barker...
all coated on his OCDP acrylic

let say im interested in evans. which series should i pick? tried hydraulics before and im quite interested in it.

for remo...go for clear pinstripe or clear emporer...and diplomat as reso head. (configuration for rock, this is my personal choice)
on what i have been told, remo has 2 type of skin..one made in taiwan(duplicate), one made in USA.
taiwan cheaper.

evans..the hydraulic is the most warmer and focus of all the model...less sustain/overtone.
but if u like this kind of sound go ahead dude. i think this should sound like slayer drum.
very boom/warm sound. try to get thinner reso head, so the open and bright sound can balance.

genera g2 coated and clear reso head...this is my choice for rock/pop/funk.

have u tried EC2? Its a double layered head with internal metal ring underneath the head. It will eliminates excessive overtones and ringing which normally suffered by lower end drums. It will made a cheap drums sounds expensive with the right tune!

but it quite pricey.. almost rm50 a piece. but its worth it...

wao, tempting...
EC2 coated anyone tried? its frosted finish, not fully coated....
wonder how the sound different from clear...
but someone said Clear is best on EC2...
need some review on coated also... coz im playing in a small small room only...

btw... anyone uses evans EQ patches? clear, black nylon or AF ? are they really help adding durability and sound focus for the bass drum head?
how much they cost?

i like the hydraulics. but afraid that im going to regret it later. maybe ill have to try different skins before buying. hopefully kits on display are using different one tho. but still, they are on different shells. guess i still have to ask the salesperson questions before buying.

thanx dude. will look into that too.

heres another question, should i also change the bottom heads? and do they have different type for those too? and let say im going with EC2, which is highly recommended?

dude,
try reading modern drummer, there have drummer kit spec, include what skin their using. on what i've read mostly their will used clear thin skin for reso/bottom head.

the issue i read on bon jovi drummer, used remo emporer coated with remo ambassador clear reso/bottom.(if im not mistaken)

yup, evans is really2 expensive. but really2 good

im now using evans hydraulic but i cant compare which is better coz this is my 1st kit. moreover im not sure my current tuning is the best or not, i believe it can be better. so far the sound is the best if to compare with kits in the studios ive patronised b4. btw,i wonder how much does the evan hyraulic cost?

ive noticed that the hyraulic skin makes the sound a bit lower tone than conventional single ply. pls correct me if im wrong;)

happy drumming!

the mag or online? sadly, i dont do drum reading that much. hehe.

EC series have single ply: EC1 and double ply: EC2. They have both coated (frosted) and clear head. They also have EC for snare head. So far i've only tried EC2 clear and never had chance to try out the new EC1 and i think its worth every penny.

got myself tompack for hydraulics. the 10 n 12 sounds good enough for me but the 14 is not so. maybe ill have to tune it better. went and tried ec2 too but its more expensive and i dont know why, but i like the sounding of hydraulics better.

glad u choose what u like. so u bought at JS rite? Did u happened to see Evans Power Center Reverse Dot snare head there?

ark, srry dudes. i didnt look whats on shelves. what i did was testing all heads that are used on displayed sets.

anyone can help me..
how to produce the bass drum sound like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JGgebq83Xo
very clicking sound...
wat head / beater to use ..?

hoho, working hard with those ic are you? i would like to know too, maybe more towards producing tre cool bass drum on american idiot. anyone?

you really cant tell how do they produce their drum sound because there are lots of factors that need to be taking in account.
First, its straight from album and it has been mixed and remastered to meet certain level. Second, the acoustic of their studio is also affects the sound that they captured. Third, for fast double pedal like that, it might be using drum triggers to get exactly the same sound each time.

yup...agreed, once i recorded drum track in studio with professional engineer, im using "cap ayam" drum and cymbal.
but once record using mic, the sound totally different on what we heard while playing. sound like expensive drum...hahahahah. i think they used pro tool to mix it.

lol
yea!
but have to wait till finish my exams 1st....

haha... here so quiet edi?
