Great feedback. I haven't actually played an electronic kit yet so that's my next step. The big decision will be Roland vs Yamaha. I'm going to head to Guitar Center and the local drum store...
Hello all: I've been a member for a few years but am more of a lurker than a poster.
I began drumming about 4yrs ago and took lessons for about 18 months before stopping due to starting a family....
A throne that is mentioned on here a lot is the Roc N Soc throne.
It costs about 5 times your budget, but IMO it is worth every penny.
A good throne is probably the best investment you can make for...
I take it you got them cheaper than you were planning on paying anyway?
If so, that's awesome and congrats!
New cymbals are always fun :icon_mrgreen:
I would say $50 is a good starting place as well.
I sold a pair of B8 hats for that amount a couple months ago.
Good luck with the sale!
The drums were Yamaha but I didn't look at the series. They were in rough shape so I didn't want to bother with them.
I definitely do not miss playing the B8's that's for sure! I'm going to...
I can assure you I only paid $120 for all. I'm still in disbelief too. The guy was selling all the cymbals along with a drum set and hardware for $200. I was planning on buying it all and...
I seem to have checked Craigslist at the right time this morning. Does anyone have any idea what model the left crash is? There is some print left on there but I can't tell what it says. The top...
I picked up some new (to me) cymbals on Craigslist today and think I got a pretty smokin' deal on them. I picked up a 20" K Custom Dark ride along with a pair of 13" K Custom Dark hi-hats as well as...
I posted a thread a few weeks ago about looking for a ride cymbal and had decided to wait to purchase one until I improved my drumming skills and had a better idea of what kind of sound I wanted.
...
I appreciate all the comments and recommendations.
I do agree that since I really haven't been playing that long, I should wait to spend big money on a ride cymbal until I know exactly what I want....
You should check out Taye pedals in that price range. You could get the PSK602C or for $170 or PSK702C for $200. My drum instructor has been using the 602C for years and really likes them. I have the...
Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a new ride cymbal and just can't decide what I should do. I currently have a 20" B8 ride that I really do not care for.
I want good stick definition and for the ride...
I definitely prefer a ported head. I don't like the feel of a non-ported head and I like the sound of a ported head better.
And yet another vote for the Roc n Soc Nitro throne. It's the first and hopefully last throne I'll ever have to buy, and like everyone else has said...it's worth every penny.
Thanks for the compliments. It definitely sounds as good as it looks. I always thought I'd buy a set with a wood grain finish but I love this silver sparkle.
PB: This is not a pre-ported...
I posted a picture of my kit when I bought it a few months ago, but I took some new ones today so I figured I'd post them up. :icon_mrgreen:
...
I'm finally getting around to posting a bird's eye shot...
I tried to fit in as much as I could but my set is real close to the wall.
...
I never actually realized I wanted to play drums until I went to college. I have always been into music but never joined band while in grade school. Once in college, I was going to the bars and...
My local music store has a set of new Paiste Innovations 14" medium hi-hats for $200. I understand these are a discontinued line and was wondering if this is a good price for them.
Does anyone...
I echo PB's comments about accountability. Sometimes I need motivation after a day's work.
Good luck with the lessons and you definitely made the right choice!
I played Rock Band drums for close to a year before I started taking real lessons. I had an interest in drumming long before Rock Band came out, but I figured playing the game would suffice until I...
Thanks! The best part is that it sounds as good as it looks! I was originally looking for a kit with a wood grain finish, but this sparkle has really grown on me!
Thanks for the congrats everyone!
It's like I was telling my drum teacher the other day...I'm starting my drumming career a little later than some so I have a bit more discretionary income I can...
