OFFICIAL- Show us your kits thread!

actually there's no real guide line on how you should place your tom. its more or less "what suits you best" kinda thing.
 
i follow the power square method. where evertyhing when drawn an imaginary line with the rims, it forms sort of a square...

usually batman tom angles doesn't really matter but it looks ugly la... a bit of angle is ok but too extreme could also affect sound...

the physicis behind it is to let strike the batter head, air inside travels from the top to the bottom resonant head, thus exciting it, and some air rebounds back to the batter...

with that angle, the physics might not work - i guess.. im not a physics student... it does affect the sound tho... and it feels awkward too...

and welcome to soft DXS!!!! :D:D:D

batman tom angels refer to the "v shape" method of placing the toms i mentioned?

actually there's no real guide line on how you should place your tom. its more or less "what suits you best" kinda thing.

maybe for different of music, there are different methods of placing the toms? I guess so.
 
Hi, everyone this is my first post here.

I would like to share with all of you the pictures of this drumset, too bad, the drumset doesn't belongs to me, but my church. It is a Yamaha Rydeen (meaning God of Thunder in Japanese) set which cost RM3,000 including the headliner cymbals (14" hi-hat, 16" crash, and 20" ride). I plan to buy another cymbal and put in RHS. I have only one crash on the left, and sometime when i need to hit the crash while both my hands are on the right, there will be a slight delay in timing.

Here are the pictures of the drumset in my church

HEY! We got the same cymbal. I'm not sure about you, I don't really like headliner sound. But it sounds great when season though. :mrgreen:
 
hey.. you just play you kit and enjoy it. you must try around with different angles and see which is the smoothest for yourself ok. its all about your own preference. yup. welcome once again

i'm really impressed on how you can turn the Export sound like a high end drums sound.
