Thanks, good idea. I have driven past Gear4Music actually, it looks from the outside like an office/warehouse rather than a showroom type deal, but it's worth a phone call to fine out.

Jealous! That looks amazing! Where/when was that?

I DREAM of that kind of offer, really pleased for you man, best of luck!
So I got the Speed Cobra. I have to say, I'm impressed, can't fault the build quality at all, it looks and feels like a top-end piece of kit.
I won't lie though, it is going to take some getting...
Nice, thanks guys, I'll check those out. I've bought from Rockem before and they're really helpful, I imagine with such good supply and prices they must have a premises, I will look them up. Same...
Now then boys! Ah, I'm feeling better already.
So who can recommend a decent drum shop in the North? I live not far away from Scheerers in Leeds, which is great, only I'd rather visit a store...
Good luck Bridie!

Nice to meet a couple of fellow Brit drummers. I'll put the kettle on!

So is this all the English DrumChatters out there?
I'm feeling a bit cut off from the forum, it's hard to make friends when everyone is on the other side of the world, and therefore in a totally...
Resisted buying the china. Bought a slightly smaller china instead.
I WIN
Absolutely!
We almost always played to crowds of adults who 'got' the joke, but one time we were asked to play an open air festival on an early afternoon slot and found ourselves with a lot of...
Ha! Sadly not. I'd link to some songs, but the content/language/subject material would almost certainly get me banned in a heartbeat.
Some highlights of the set included classics such as:

Great review, thanks josephusz. I have to chime in on the drummer issue though...
Jack Irons was the best drummer they ever had. Perhaps not in a technical sense, Abbruzzese was ruthlessly...
So many great ideas on this thread, thanks for all your comments so far. I'm itching to start messing around with my configuration now! I'm definitely going to make some mini hi hats (thanks for the...
Dirtysticks, so many snares! So much money! So so jealous!!
I don't know what you do for a living, but you must be damned good at it to have been able to afford all those. Wonderful collection!
Just ordered a Speed Cobra. Resisted ordering a Stagg China.
I win!
Okay, so although no one seems totally sure if the feel of the pedal is the same, I'm getting the impression that the SC is as good if not better (assuming you like the ICs in general, which I do),...
I am totally trying that with some splashes next time I'm behind my kit. Maybe with my 10" snare. Throw down a few dance beats!
Ray - Totally agree, why Zildjian didn't market those as crash/rides is beyond me.
Onegourd - So you took it to Saluda and they trimmed it down and fitted the rivets? Cool. You guys in the States...
Nice! Love that tune.
LOL. Have to get me a cymbal harem. :icon_mrgreen:
Hi-hat with rivets! Awesome, I've not seen that before. I like it.
Appreciate the comments. It's interesting you say that the IC is generally regarded as feeling heavy, it felt lighter underfoot than my DW5000. Or just slicker. I don't know. I don't mind a slightly...
Interesting...
Will definitely be trying that next head change. What kind of wax do you use N2Bluz/Tamashane?
Was that a euphemism, or do you actually wax the bearing edges? :icon_wink:
I've always tried to seat the heads when fitting, as much for the satisfying crackling noises as the (assumed) practical...
Excellent work on the video Sandy, my neglected love of Megadeth has resurfaced! Time to dig out some records...
