Hehe shows that jeepers is very observant =D=D

I do see 2 screws at the hoop though. Maybe the drums are tuned by tightening those 2 screws?

retardedrummer:
Woah nice collection of Sabians there! hehe

 

[retardedrummer]

hmm yea there are Pros and Cons to it actually.

You just tune by those two screws. It'll automatically tune the whole entire tom.

But if the rims get really rusty... then i dunno where to find replacement man. think i'll just go with normal ones then..

Yea jeepers observant... hmm probably the seller got this quite long ago.

You guys think i should spray something to prevent rust on the rims? or just leave it?

Mel80:thanks

 

[ilovegm]

No harm spraying some WD-40, abit smelly only

Sounds convenient, tuning with 2 screws... Am envious

Aha! http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/autotune/

 

[retardedrummer]

whats WD-40? hahahahha. sorry i dunno all these.. where to get it? Self fix shop? say "uncle can i have a anti rusting spray?" lol

 

[jeepers]

Just do regular cleaning of the chrome parts, you shouldn't have any problem. They look like they've got slight spots of rust or pitting already, do they?

Would be really interesting to hear the kit tuned up nice.

How much did you get it for, if you don't mind me asking?

[EDIT]And yeah WD-40 does help protect against rust.

 

[retardedrummer]

actually i havent mastered the art of tuning. so yea:/
Hmm got it secondhand with cymbals and cymbal stands , tama iron cobra jr double pedals for around 1.4k. Good buy cymabls not too good la. low end-mid range zildjians.
No rust yet. but yea black dots.. pretty worried they will get worse..

WD-40 adds a layer of oil-based lubricant around it to prevent oxidization of the metal. It is really used more as a lubricant than anything else.

I wouldnt recommend it as experience has shown that the lugs/screws does loosen quickly and your drums can de-tune faster than what you are normally used to.

WD-40 is some ugly blue can of anti-rust spray. Alot of diy stores sell them.

Oh, might as well ask something as well, to polish the drum set, can I use brasso?
Not sure, cos I rmb my friend using that to polish bowling balls after bowling.
Quite cheap.

 

[retardedrummer]

i know brasso eats into cymbals.. for hardware? probably?

[toxicpunk]

you WERE not alone. we all started the same way.

HOPEFULLY.... till then, its me and the jamming studio's drum + jam mates

 

[retardedrummer]

yea i started without a kit toO!

 

[toxicpunk]

but i heard that self taught is quite difficult to progress right?

two songs i can do on drums so far after 2 sessions are only 'i don't love you' and 'memory'. and these are not according to the original, its more like wat i feel i just play it on the drums....

 

[retardedrummer]

hmm i dont find it difficult to progress lei. Try exposing yourself to more genres and watch more youtube videos especially on the genre u love!
