Niles Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 It's black metallic with a gold sparkle inlay. And I think you'll find that it's anyone who can make plastic drums that look and sound like a b-movie prop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were good!!! and in that picture - how on earth are you meant to play that gong bass! Or is it just demo purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Not sure, I'm sure you could reach it though if need be. Most people don't play theirs with the kit, though, they stand up and use mallets. I've seen alot of kits with the gong bass behind the player. What annoys me is that the gong bass hardware is chrome and the kits' is black nickel.

addyjoe Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 No demonstration picture of a kit looks particularly playable for most people because everybody sets their kit up different. That gong bass does look unreachable though, you'd just have to keep throwing sticks at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I think you could get at it with the tip of the stick. If you can get tha china you can certainly get the gong bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpdrummer Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I dunno, I think the Mirage looks pretty awesome. The Bubinga certainly looks more "tasteful," but the clear fits in so well with the music and stage props. Either way, you can't go wrong. Both sound amazing!!!

Dramatic Hammer Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Which is the best value bassdrum pedal? I want something that I'm not paying loads extra for that 1% increased speed/power/etc... Budget = preferably under £100 but can stretch to £200 if it's really that amazing:happy: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dramatic Hammer Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 well, iron cobras are generally looked at in good light. reliable/nice to play etc. Yeah, I'm just wondering if the job can't be done for less haha.... I used to have a DW 5000 series which was nice and now I have an awful premier one (fairly ancient with only one 'side' to it), which is too slow or something.

Niles Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Eliminator and Iron Cobra are the two most common and cheapest "pro" pedals. Expect to pay no more then US$120 for a single in either and as low as US$99 for the Eliminator double chain. EDIT: P-2000C Eliminator Double Chain Drive $99 P-2000B Eliminator Belt Drive $109 IC of any kind $119 My pick is first the Eliminator and second the belt driven IC. I can't stand the feel of the power and rolling glide cams, which is good because they're chain drive anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niles Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 To whom else could I be referring? Yes I suppose I probably did mean "whose" but having consumed a bottle of blue label Smirnoff last night I think I'm doing rather well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alyssa_ Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 'Ey, I need a new stand for my hats I've just realised, since I think it's my crappy stand that I got with my $300 budget kit that's making my hats sound really bad. It's really clunky and noisy and it doesn't even accomodate my double pedal well. What's a decent, cheap hihat stand? Anyone got an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like I can get either for under £110 though . It would seem the one I have right now is direct drive and I've hated belt-drive in the past - what's the actual difference?

Belt drive, the pedal is attached to the beater holder by a belt, and is very smooth. Direct drive is where one solid piece (usually metal) connects the pedal to the beater holder. Direct drive is more responsive and solid feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
