    Re: Decent sounding budget cymbals?

    Another agreement on buying used high end. Better sounding and you will save money in the long run.

    Re: Tip for drumstick tips

    I never really A/B'ed a treated and a non treated stick, but to me, it still sounds the same on cymbals.

    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...

    Re: New snare stand...

    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.

    Re: Drum mics

    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...
