It is medium thin, indeed. It seems a little darker than the Ks I have, I'd say. Definitely not as bight as a A. I'm using it primarily as a crash and also as I ride. Interestingly, it is also a...

New addition - Zildjian 20" Kerope
My 20" K Pre-Aged Dry Light Ride developed a lovely crack that grew too big, so had to replace it and it seems they don't make that one anymore. Ended up going with this:

Re: Double splash cymbal placement
I have all three of my splashes right around the hi hats. One is above and to the right, one above and to the left, and one is under the hihats, but above the snare drum. Allows for some quick little...
Re: Morgan Rose
One of my favorite drummers! He has a unique sense of rhythm that fits songs so well. And he can throw and catch sticks like it's nobody's business:

Re: Dare you respond to this thread?
I had a light on top of my drums in the basement with one of those pull chains to turn it on and off, as well as a light switch at the door. I wanted to turn off the light but rather than go to the...
Re: Getting a new kit!
I would go DW as well. If I were ever in the market for a new kit, that is what I'd get. They seem to do some really innovative things with shell construction!
Re: Extra floor tom
The first time I ever saw a tom on the left was Live's Unplugged performance:

From the opening moments when Chad Gracey is hitting a tom on each...
The Purslaines
I hadn't played in a band for 7 years and finally worked up enough nerve to audition for one. I was very happy when I was asked to join The Purslaines. It is now a year later and we just released our...
Re: Show us your STACKS
12" Oriental China Trash on top of a 14" A Custom EFX. Nice and trashy.

Re: If you could only have one cymbal...
My 21" A Custom Anniversary Ride. Love it as a ride, love it as a crash. One of the best-sounding cymbals I have ever played.
Re: Does anyone here incorporate electronics into their acoustic kit?
Yes, yes I do. All Roland stuff. I have three pads, two kick pads, a hi-hat pedal, a snare trigger on the secondary snare, and tom triggers on my 14" and 16". Mostly used for special effects sounds....
What do you take with you to shows?
I had my first performance this last weekend with the band I joined recently. It was my first time performing in many years and it felt great! However, I had to deal with a few situations at the...
Re: Don't I feel like an idiot...
I have a nice, small cut on my right pinky toe from when the wing nut came off a cymbal stand while playing and the inverted splash cymbal on said stand made a beeline for my foot.
Re: Crash / Ride
Crash/ride cymbals I have heard have never impressed me. However, I have three rides, all Zildjian, on my kit that are used as crashes just as much as rides:
19" Armand "Beautiful Baby" Ride
21"...
Re: Is guitar center destroying drum company's ?
Well, there are three approaches a high-end drum company can take when looking to expand into the lower-end market. One is to release a low-end kit under the same brand name. This is what you see...
Re: Need help deciding between chinas
Originally, I wanted a mini china and was thinking the 14" Oriental china. However, it was a little too close to a full-sized china for what I wanted. The 12" was the only smaller option at the time,...
Re: Big thumbs up to ProMark Customer Service
I've had similar experiences with Pro Mark in the past. Back in the day when I used nylon-tipped sticks and a tip or two broke, they sent replacements right away (they had a guarantee that nylon tips...
Re: Completely changing my set up. Suggestions welcome.
Days when an "undo" button on a drumset would be oh so helpful!
Re: Drumsticks
Pro Mark 707 wood tip. Used to use the oak models, but my wrists were killing me. Switched to hickory and everything was better.
Re: New Drums? DW
I'm going to join in and say that you might want to consider being a little more patient in your drum choice right now. I absolutely understand the desire to get the best drums you possibly can right...
Re: Awesome Ludwig Vistalite
Wow, beautiful. The 3D effect of the logo makes me wonder if one could enhance that effect by putting an image on the inside of the batter head.
Re: A few minor changes to the kit.
What is the metal thing just to the left of the big, suspended tom? It almost looks like an upside down rototom with no head on it!
Re: Anybody using an iPod Touch or iPad for music?
I had no idea this existed! I will have to download this immediately. No more tripping over everything to get back and forth between the drums and the StudioLive! Thanks, ntn2it!
Re: How Many Crash Cymbals?
I have six. From left to right, they are 18", 17" 16", 17", 20", and 16". Ranked as far as pitch from highest to lowest based on position, they are 6, 4, 2, 3, 5, 1. I started with one and built up...
Re: Suggestions on how to play with a just a guitarist
I've played with just guitar players many times throughout my life. I'm not sure the statement "the bass is what makes everything sound good and go together" is really true. Others have posted...
