hi plainsman and blurred glad that plainsman rem me though...lol!!! i do go jamming with frenz quite often so still got access to acoustic set...until now still ok...but i feel that u juz dun rely on the 'auto' bounce of the rubber pad and use ur wrist instead, u shouldnt be losing touch...that's how it feel to me after having it for 2 weeks...really nice kit to practice with and the set is 10 yr's old pad condition is still excellent other then some dust on it only. hmm...when is the next meet up though?

[blurred]

okie screw this
this is a snare tht was built for me by a custom shop owner here in Australia his name is Paul Warry and he's suppose to be one of the best drum builders here in Aus.

it's a 14x5 and has a stave shell construction like a conga. it's abt a inch and abit more thick. it's this native wood called jarrah and the color is candy apple red. the lugs are hand machined from air craft grade aluminium. and it cost me 650 AUS

nice snare man..

but stave construction snares usually fall off like in 10 or 20 years of use??

i dunno but they would eventually fall off due to the glue...

but jarrah snares are superb, tried some brady snares at b.h.hoe, man those kick ass.. loud and woody..haha

 

[blurred]

thats a bit of nonsense if i ever heard one.
which person told u tht?
so i guess congas and bongos fall apart after 10 yrs as well?

 

[marcdadrummer]

stave construction goes by glueing together blocks of wood.

im an ignorant fella when it comes to this kinda stuff but it's what the dude at b.h.hoe told me.. The wood would eventually fell apart in time.

Stave drum shells are made in a method similar to constructing a barrel, where sections of wood are joined by either spline or butting methods which is held by glue.

it might be wrong, it might be true.. well all i can say is that u can prove HIM wrong not ME in 10 or 20 years time when ur snare eventually DOES fall off..

so yeah, my bad if it's true or false.

 

[blurred]

sure thing man will call him up in a couple of yrs then.
where is this or who is this person again?

 

[marcdadrummer]

i'll state it in 10 - 20 years time if im still around and if soft still exist.

don't matter much, if u love ur snare, u'd naturally take good care of it amirite?

What heads u ave em on and what strainer?? also for the snare wires?

 

[blurred]

wat u mean the strainer on the drum tht'll fall apart in 10 to 20 yrs?

it's just a generic chinese made one i reckon. clam shell throw off, a nickel piston one was 80 bucks more so i said screw tht, normal one if fine. i got an evans G1 skin on top and hazy on bottom. i use to have puresound on them but had to take it off for this jazz recording. have normal 9dollar snare wires on it. 20 strand

 

[danial]

my new setup :lol:

my nick is ZXTA

 

[marcdadrummer]

the rack tom's angle looks weird, the 13" toms looks awkward being a suspended floor tom and looks like u've gotta stretch to reach the legged floor tom.

might i suggest moving the two "floor toms" closer to the BD, adjust the rack tom and bring ur cymbals nearer.


just my $0.02

 

[danial]

bing was just testing la :lol:

 

[bryanlim]

haha.. i tot the set up was cool. the angles were fine as well. what kit is tat? soundcheck?

 

[danial]

pearl forum haha

 

[Frummer]

mayi suggest removing the 2nd rack tom's holder OFF the bass drum so u got more leeway for your ride to swing around? hahaha...i bet u will like it more...

 

[kari_convention]

he use the 2nd rack tom's hole to hold the ride. if u see carefully.

 

[Frummer]

OOOOooooo.....

i thought i saw it as a tom holder jutting out for no reason hehe....my bad :lol:

I love that black snare.

Its like hitting a black Apple product.

 

[plainsman]

whacking macbook?? :lol: :lol: :lol:

i love practicing on different surfaces, it reinforces your body's ability to micro-adjust to differences in the hitting surface while maintaining good stroking. i know its definitely made me more resilient and versatile.

just keep whacking!!!!!!
