oh ya!
are YOU camping?
oyea and for pearl target ppl say its really bad... but they do come with all the stuffs you need like sticks (super light), throne, hardware and stock cymbals... i personally tried it out and i won't say it's that bad a set but a big nono for gigs though. i htink it'll be just right for home practice... just be sure you can sell it off later on

hehe will be getting some cymbals to add to my pathetic collection :?
and possibly a drumset, i've been eying the gretsch blackhawk but i might as well use de sale for something btr if its available, possibly tama rockstar or superstar or peavey radio pro? i dont think i will be in time for the exports cuz they seem very popular
target should be 900 at original price if not wrong, so 450 after discount?

price drop liao.. i think now abt 760or 780.
BTW, the retail prices 'stuck on the paper price tag' is different at sweelee BB and sims. the quote after discount at sims branch is still higher than the actual retail price written on the BB branch pricetags. so u can imagine the retail price on the sims branch' pricetags la.
i dunno why la, maybe for drums mus go certain branch, guitar go another branch. i havent been in the scene for long so i cant give much useful opinion.

i beg to differ.. i have a pair of zbt's down at my church... if im not wrong.. been used for more than 6-8 yrs already. and im telling u, i seriously love the sound. it sounds good when its super seasoned, though its sheet bronze, i dont see any durability problems now.
i live in a hdb, got my set not too long ago.. stagestar tuned well can sound as good as those higher end drums. of cus, depending on your needs, for practicing at home, i dont really need some high projecting drumset. i aqcuired a really cheap set of really new paiste 302's. they are sheet brass but theres a reason to get em. the quick sound decay really helps in a hdb.
i inend to upgrade, but thats when i get better, probably when i have more space to accomodate a better set.
OH, and about sweelee, i do have some ugly $%^& about them.
i got my stagestar before the sale,at 700 bucks. okay, the real deal... u know those o'rings we use to muff and decrease vibration on the drums? they said they give me a discount on em.
i didnt know much abt them, but they told me it was essential. so i went ard the shelf to see how much they cost.. there was a pack of 2 or 3 in 1 set it cost around 15 bucks. so i asked how many would i need, common sense would tell me 4 pieces la.
so ok, 1 for snare 3 for toms, he told me i must get 2 packs, so cost ard $30+. den i ask for discoount he said ok u pay half i pay half, but since i charge u half price i take out the rings u dont need, means i pay only $15.
when i came to pay and collect, he opened up a diff pack which contained 4 rings just nice for all the drums.. and that fagot take out 1 piece, means i only left 3!
i didnt know till i went home and my floor tom didnt have 1... wad to do, now i only use the 1 for my snare so that the toms sound even..
if not for the free delivery and them being the cheapest so far, i sure boycott them. at least its good to know that we are aware of their %^&*.

ok. then it's a matter of taste.. i'd never pick sheet over cast..
Freakae said:
Despite of Rhythm Traveller having "Kapok" wood, I still like that distinctive Unique sound from RT's Toms, they really felt different and very musical to my ears...

4 years ago was $600+ if i am not wrong, and now should be around there I presume...
Just call their "Hotline" and ask the "polite" staff over there.. lol..

ziyanvolution said:
yo ziyan, actually everything must try urself den u know, from drums to cymbals.. like nigel from drmp always say, as long u like it can liao.
alot of diff tastes from the peeps in soft. but its really up to yourself in the end. if can, go down to sweelee one of these days to really see wad u want.
if im not wrong, sims branch let u play on the drums one... or at least they did let me...
yup really worth getting it from the sale. just as long u know wads gd for urself, and ur money spend already no regrets.
not to bother too mcuh about technical stuff, but skills come first.(another quote frm nigel lol)

Selling tama super star drumset
Hi ziyan, I'm having a friend who is selling his drumset cos he is moving out and shifting house back to Malaysia. His set is pretty new, I would say about 1 mth old and he seldom plays (i think so far he only touch it for 30 mins!) Saw on your previous posts that you are interested in Tama superstar. Here are the specs:
Tama SK52S-VTB Superstar Drum shell kit W/HR5Wn Hardware
Colour metallic grey.
Cymbals - Sabian B8 Performance set (16 and 18 inches crash plus 20 inch ride c/w individual stands) w/bag.
Remo O-rings full set pack with 14inch extra.
Tama Drum stick HM1.
Tama HC13BR Cymbal stand.
Pearl D-2000 drummer's throne (worth $300).
Bought it for $3000, think he wants to sell at $2200. Price is negotiable though. Should be fitting in your budget since your $1.5k budget did not include cymbals. If you are interested, let me know, I can arrange for meeting with my fren and testing it out. Call me @ 90274447 or email me @ michaelcgh@yahoo.com. Think my fren is leaving for Malaysia next week, so intending to sell fast.
