Show Us Your Drums!

Pastor Bob,

I do think you would like the ball mount that various companies make. When things are almost right, having the ability to quickly make a slight adjustment is valuable. With the flat toms, be prepared to catch more rim than you're used to. Soon, your stroke will change and getting nuttin' but mylar will be second nature. Muscle memory, my friend...

[fumbled time]

I would agree, Very easy to adjust and alot of possible positions quick.

Kaosotis? how do you like your kick port? would you recommend buying one?

[Larrysperf]

OK, on my way back from Nashville today I stopped and got a couple of L rods to mount my ride toms on the rack. I also flattened the angle of the toms (although I am still deciding how I like that, because right now it seems a bit weird).

Yes looks much better. Very nice set even if I have seen them before lol

Hi all,

I am the new guy so I figured I would start by posting some pics of my newest kit. I just got them in December and have been enjoying them immensely. They are Pearl Master Custom MCX with a limited edition Artisan II finish. The finish is Mapa Burl Honey Burst. It is a lacquer finish with gold micro flake in it. Stunning in person. Thanks!

Here's my current set up. I got 6" and 8" mini-tymps through a rebate for buying my Superstars.

Hi All,

long time reader, first time poster!

Not the best pictures of my kit, but the best I can do for a starter.....



It's a Pearl Export fusion it in a shiney dark blue! I think it's getting on for about 15 years old or so now, but been very loved and taken care of!

I've got mostly Zildjan ZXT's and one custom K, but looking to invest in the Zildjan Armand box set this month. Anyone have opinions on these? incedentally, can anyone tell my how it's fair that cymbals cost TWICE as much in the UK than in the US??! And no resellers are permitted to ship to the UK either. :(

Tips and advice more than welcome!

Thanks,

Ben.

Hi Ben,
What the heck took you so long?!!!

Welcome to Drum Chat!

[Andreeew]

Welcome ben! You will find that most of us here will recommend you on buying used high quality cymbals!

[BenBenson]

Thanks for the welcome Tom! Been meaning to for a long time, will do my best to be "active" and contribute from now on!

Used high quality cymbals you say.... but doesnt that limit the choice somewhat? And I'm not sure i'd be comfortable distance-buying something that is designed to be hit hard and lots! They can be soooo expensive, I'd hate to get a lovely sounding cymbal that is 2 crashes away from cracking!

[late8]

Welcome Ben nice kit!

[late8]

Here is the set I currently play.

It is a set made by Canwood with maple shells.

The cymbals are a variety. Jack DeJohnette Signature Ride. Paiste 602 and 2002 crashes and Istanbul hi hats.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Nice kit! Welcome to the forum!

[pastor_bob]

Welcome to Drum Chat Ben! I agree that buying used without being able to see the cymbal would be risky, although some have done it successfully. The key is to buy the best cymbals you can afford, and keep playing.

Again, welcome!

[pastor_bob]

Now you need 2 more memery locks lol Very nice indeed

I'm glad you mentioned that Larry. I hadn't thought about the memory locks.

[The Chazbo]

Ben and Yohin, those are awesome kits...and Yohin, I love the finish on that! Absolutely beautiful!!

That's funny, I thought it said, "I am left handed!"

Ahh PB, this really made me laugh!

[xsabers]

I'm glad you mentioned that Larry. I hadn't thought about the memory locks.

So you forgot about the memory locks?

[BenBenson]

Is a "ba-dum-tssshhh" appropriate??!
