DominicHoward Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Drums Maple Starclisic in Chrome with Black h/w 12x9 tom 14x14 floor 16x16 floor 22x18 bass Snare maple Maple starclasic 14x 6 1/2 (last tour ludwig blask Beauty 14x6 1/2 Cymbals Live Crash of Doom A custom cymbals sizes differ for shoes, normaly 17/19 or 18/19 11" trash splash 8" A splash 14 K hats 22K ride 18" China Trash heads toms Remo Emp's top ambasadors bottom Snare CS batter on starclassin Aquarain HE on BB PS3 on kick that will do for now.. you cant really list stuff fdor the studio as things change from song to song PS i know the above as i have seen the kit in person Well you've got most of that wrong
DominicHoward Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 why For a start he uses K crashes now instead of A custom projections and it's a 22" K custom ride, not just regular.
6ixty_6ix Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 actually he doesn't use K crashes, at M.E.N he used A custom's, he uses K crashes when recording. And he does change his ride normally, K custom, K, K dry ride...
JamesT Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Thanks for that TIRO I saw the kit twice and both times he was using A customs. as to the ride i couldnt ID it i know it was a K or K custom 22" it had been cleaned so much that the logo's had worn off. As to how i saw it, I work for a company that provides Logistics, Security and all sorts of other things for tours, I dont actualy work on the muse tour :'( But on a day of i got chance to just tag along and how could i turn that down
JamesT Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Looking at some photo's of his kit got some gigs Hes using a 14x12 floor and a 16x14 floor http://www.microcuts.net/gallery/dataz/media/59/Dom_02_-_Znith_de_Toulouse_-_March_22_2004.jpg cant argue with that
the pearl guy Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 i suppose he may well use different crashes for different things, at rock am ring he was riding a k crash during hysteria i think it was. it doesnt really matter too much anyways. does anyone know of a place that can beat £117 for a k 14" mini china? that silver sc is gorgeous.
passingcydonia Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Although his drum setup may not have changed much since hullabaloo, his cymbal setup certainly has! He now uses K Dark Crashes instead of the A Customs (Hullabaloo) He uses K Hi-Hats instead of the A Customs (Hullabaloo) He has an extra crash, it's oriental, that's all I know. It's a 22" K Custom ride he uses, not a 20". And yes, it's a Rhythmtech Crasher that he uses in both Megalomania (Hullabaloo) and live and recorded versions of TIRO. And you call yourselves Dom fans... He uses the rythm tech crasher on apocalypse please too
passingcydonia Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Ok, like, I really want to learn how to play the drums, and have been reading a lot of material on the net, and following threads and such. how do you guys recommend someone go about learning how to play the drums? i.e. where would you start?
the pearl guy Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 personally i think its better to have lessons somehwere that has there own kit, to see if u want to stick with it.preferably someone working from home as a professional teacher or through your school. the latter is better cos u get our of lesons then... then after a few months look into buying a kit, something like a pearl forum or a second hand export ex or even elx. i find that a mix of being tought the technical side of drumming and working out all my own songs and material in my own time makes for a pretty balanced way of approaching it. it was four years of lessons before i got my own kit and i found that that really spurred my playin on rather that hindering it becuase i was so eager to play that whenever i got the chance i worked hard to make the most of my time. still its very much a personal thing and many musicians not just drummers have learn by ear and trial and error and have become very accomplished in there field of expertise. it does not make you any less of a musician if u decided to take the tought route or just by ear, as many many people may make u feel. all i can say is just take it easy and have fun, and well done for picking the nosiest and most annoying to move around instrument...

Heheh, well, the thing is I'm 23 and well out of school. I looked at my college and they don't offer any precussion lessons or anything. So I guess I would have to go to a shop or studio or something. I haven't had the money yet to invest in lessons, so I've been trying to teach myself basic things by ear. I want to get a pair of drum sticks and maybe a practice pad or something so I have something bang on besides furniture. I sound really good with chopsticks, china, and silverware. Thanks for the advice though. I will look into finding someone who teaches and has their own kit, etc, as you recommended.
JamesT Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Go and Get some Sticks any top brand. (vic firth, promark, Valter, Regal tip) and a practice pad.. its not alot of fun but it makes you better. then go and get some lessons if your in the UK they go for round £10 - £15 an hour.. dont buy a kit to start with as you mite no like drumming. after a while if you want to keep going ket a kit.. there are 1000's out there keep away from cheep ones they may save you money to start with but it will break and you'll out grow it fast. Look at Pearls Exports, Tama's Rockstars, or Premiars Artist's need any help just e-mail me im on a tour now so i only have my MSN e-mail really. TigerADV@hotmail.com

6ixty_6ix Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 i'm exactly the same, been playing for 3 years now without a lesson at all. I suggest buying a crap kit like stagg or percussion plus and advance of that building your kit up gradually. And buy a metranome!
Nav Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 any of you guys know where i could buy tama starclasic with the same set up as dom, maybe less cymbals, but bassically the same drum wise?? And for how much? Cheers, Andy

And for how much? Cheers, Andy It's gonna cost you a fair bit as his set up doesnt come as a standard 'pack' if you like. Try Newcastle Drum Centre (http://www.newcastledrum.co.uk), they're pretty decent with prices, and get a quote.
the pearl guy Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 try http://www.electromusic.co.uk there good, but i think that they havent got there starclassic page up and running yet. they are good if u want extras like add on toms. also try http://www.poolepercussion.com, http://www.adcdrums.co.uk. try ur local tama dealer as well, they might be able to beat the price you ar quoted on the internet.
6ixty_6ix Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 How much do those Ludwig "Black Beauty's" cost dom uses? cheers
GreenMamba Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 He uses the rythm tech crasher on apocalypse please too Is that what it is called? I thought was just some crazy custom crash he bought from japan?
GooseJuice Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 How much do those Ludwig "Black Beauty's" cost dom uses? cheers £300-450 depending on size and store
