I can't imagine why frequency range would matter when you process all the life out of your drum sounds anyway.
-
Well root my boot that's one fugly drum kit. Peace. :s
-
Not the same kit but still the best band on earth. XUt-jrfLhnc

Meh it's alright. I opened this thread to post pics of my starclassics but I dont have any. It's pretty criminal: I bought the kit 3 days ago and I haven't had tme to play it yet. Won't even get to tonight cos I'm working late. Specs: Starclassic B/B in Dark Stardust Fade w chrome hardware and new Starcasts. 12x7 hanging tom 14x12 floor 16x14 floor 13x6 snare 22x18 virgin kick (really hard to get, they're either 22x20 and virgin or 22x18 with a mount, not both). The finish is stunning, so is the depth of the sound they produce. I've given them nothing but a quick 5 minute tune and they sound almost studio'd already (no doubt that's from the quality of construction, woods and the hoops). I finish early tomorrow so that should be the day.

Why would buy a drum kit formerly owned by anyone who treats his equpiment how Dom does? I'm quite certain that very drum kit got quite fucked up on the Hullabaloo DVD.
-
IYW/DS - blue sparkle OoS - silver sparkle Showbiz a shitload of kits (I added most of them to the drums page on muse wiki ages ago) Something like this is getting close:

Anyone identified the HAARP snare? I think it's a 14x6.5 Brady tasmanian blackwood block.
-
That's epic cool. Yeah, to expand on the Pro-Mark thing, having used pretty much every brand of stick there is, I have found Pro-Marks to be consistently the most durable, lightest, straightest, balanced and best sized sticks available. The last point is a taste issue but the rest are fact. Fact: Pro-Mark > other.
-
Am I the only one who wants to hear more about this?
-
Pro-Mark are clearly the best sticks. I don't know why other brands even exist. I want the TX3RW Peter Criss models.
-
Tbh that looks pretty failure to me. Firstly it's a Mirage (read hideously overpriced Gold N Times shells), secondly the colour combo makes baby jesus cry, lastly it's got a billion times more components than a proper drum kit should. If Portnoys drums hooked up with Barkers, that would be their lovechild (a troubling image, no?) Size 9 rprznt kekekekeke

Acrylic hoops?? Wow, I've never seen that before (I don't think it's a very good idea though). I doubt that Tama got their ideas on acrylic kits from those guys. All modern acrylics are the same (no joke, every shell, except Sonor X-Rays and those ones, is sourced from one of two major manufacturers), which are pretty much copies of the original Zickos shells, with some much needed structural improvements. Those are even better than Tamas and en par with Sonors.

I thin DW is a pretty cool guy. eh lets me use over 9000 memes and doesn't afraid of anything. IT'S OVER FIVE THOUSAAAAAAAND!! Not the same.
-
oh eye dunno I think Yamaha and Sonor make little jungle kits just for that purpose. EDIT: Yami does, this is the little whatsy Dom was playing on in that video where he was plying on the little whatsy http://www.massmusic.net/shop/?shop=1&cat=1597&cart=9999078 5000? I thought you had a DW OVER9000!
-
Fkn huge cymbals much? Why on earth would you not use such lovely cymbals?
-
I came. 22" of crash? You are my hero. I got 18 and 19 and they are too small for me. I'm thinking of getting 19 and 21 when I break these (and I probably will).
-
This thread just divided by zero. OH SHI---

I use the red cam, massive spring tension, powershifter all the way forward, footboard very flat (about as low as it'll go without the belt drive linkage hitting the top of the hoop clamp when I really wail on it) and beater holder forward one notch (that's necessary because I play barefoot and if it's set to the centre mark the beater hits the top of my foot causing significant pain/bruising). And ditch the toe stop. EDIT: I'm starting to have problems with the powershifter mechanism, oddly. It's my own fault, though. Sweat runs down my leg into the heel plate and corrodes the screw that holds the powershifter to the base plate. I generally have to tighten it up after every half hour otherwise the play in the footboard becomes intolerable. I now wear my sweatbands on my ankles to combat that and the sweat-slicked-footboard problem.
-
You're going to love them. I'm awful at tuning and I can tune them with my toes and still have them sound epic. Stay away from DW pedals if you have a really heavy foot. If you can believe it they have footboard snappage issues. I personally cannot imagine being able to apply enough pressure to a footboard to break it but the facts are out there: http://www.pearldrummersforum.com/showthread.php?t=60291

I don't know if it's because other pedals just don't work for me or because I'm simply accustomed to my Eliminator but nothing else is good enough anymore. I tried pretty much every other pedal in existence yesterday (including Axis A Longboards, IC, Flying Dragon (chain and direct) and DW9000 and 5000), even sat down with the 9000 and tweaked it for about 10 minutes because I recall it being awesome. None came close, I'm so smitten.
-
Gong bass and flam, maybe. Context? With regards the Assassin thing... I don't know what to say. It's like all three of us looking at a lime and you two arguing about whether it's magenta or purple. They're not flams, they're not swiss triplets, they're just triplets. Right-left-bass rinse and repeat with a flam on the snare at the end.
-
FUCKING WOW. That is one intensely hot drum kit. Sort those drum placements out though. Orion Burlwood. You've upstaged me. Welcome to the Mapex Mafia.
-
No, they're triplets. r l f r l f r l f r l f r l f r l f r l f F

Yes. They're fail.
