The poor mans Black Beauty. Your going to love it. I got the 5x14 version about a year ago and it's great. Tune that thing up medium high and enjoy.
Cool, I always had a thing for acrylic drums.
I just treat the tips. I don't know if it would actually work on the stick and prevent it from breaking. I seldom break sticks, but will break tips. I do have a habit of playing harder than I...
Never really cared how they feel and sound on cymbals.
I never really A/B'ed a treated and a non treated stick, but to me, it still sounds the same on cymbals.
For those that prefer wood tips but are tired of them prematurely chipping and breaking, I found something that works pretty well. This may not be a new idea, but using Minwax wood hardener(the...
Can't go wrong with the Zildjians mentioned. No experience with the XS20's. Those are Sabian's mid priced line, but they use the same alloy as the pro level cymbals. Probably a different...
Puresound Speedball.
If you can check one out in person, do so. I never thought about it, but maybe I just got a flawed one that got past quality control.
That is the Union Elite stand. An off brand sold exclusively by Interstate Music( here in the states anyways ). I bought it a week ago and returned it a day later. Not because of the build...
Coated Powerstroke 3 batter, Ebony Powerstoke 3 w/ 5" port hole and an Evans EQ pad make up for the best bass drum sound I ever got. Nonetheless, If your looking at Remo, the Powerstroke 3 or the...
I recently bought some Regal Tip E series 5A sticks, which are nylon tips with small grooves in them which replicate the sound of wood tip sticks and I have to say they work as advertised. I also...
As far as overhead condenser mic's, Sterling Audio is hard to beat for the money. I agree with the others on the Audix mic's. I have an i5 for the snare and a D6 for the bass, but I heard good...
What kind of sticks are you currently using?
Yeah, I would go with a setup like this, would be the most affordable and would work well. Go with Gibralter.
I was impressed with the Paiste PST 5 and Zildjian ZHT's when I was messing around with them at a music store. Both can be had for around $80 to $ 110, depending on the size you want. The Sabian...
I started a thread a couple days ago seeking info on Wuhan gongs. Heres a 22" wind going for $149 and a 26" chau gong with stand for $349. Pretty afordable compared to Sabian or Paiste.
Anyone tried/owns the wind or the orchestra style gongs. How do they sound compared to the major brands costing 3x more?
I edited my last post because I found more info, however, I seen several listings that was on Ebay(all the sellers were from the UK, by the way). They are called Rogers White Hot cymbals and seen...
I couldn't find alot of info on it, but more than likely sheet bronze or brass made by Paiste or Meinl. Some were also made by Zilco. Probably made in the late 70's up until 83 when Rogers shut...
I own an 16" A Custom crash and the New Beats. A Customs crashes get alot of praise. They are great sounding crashes and have a nice shimmering quality to them. The New Beats are one of my all...
The Ludwig Supraphonic sound on many classic rock recordings. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd , Bad Company, ect...
Another vote for the Zildjian A and A custom, sound pretty much the same, I own both. The 10" is my favorite and probably the most popular size. If you want to save alot of money the Wuhans do...
I agree, you'll be glad you did.
