Members cdawg Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 So much for your college education. You should seek a tuition refund.My use of that comma is correct, and your sentence is missing one, in addition to one regulation upper case A. hey jackass, we're BOTH right: Use a comma to separate the elements in a series (three or more things), including the last two. "He hit the ball, dropped the bat, and ran to first base." You may have learned that the comma before the "and" is unnecessary, which is fine if you're in control of things. However, there are situations in which, if you don't use this comma (especially when the list is complex or lengthy), these last two items in the list will try to glom together (like macaroni and cheese). Using a comma between all the items in a series, including the last two, avoids this problem. This last comma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marko46 Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 WOW! I missed a lot! I'm on my BB right now and can't check the vid out but I will when I get home. Here's my question with these hat's and anything 16" and up. Doesn't a larger set of hats result in a slower response from the pedal and stand, thus less articulation in regards to sticking? I'm not being critical with them for anyone whose using them and is into them. It just seems to me, for what a hi-hat was intended to be, or developed into, you would loose that ability with such a large cymbal. Someone, say CEM, enlighten me or the OP. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marko46 Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 I don't have the money to buy 2 20" A custom rides, but the guy in the vid must have a hell of a stand Well, I can understand that Any 20" set of decent hats would be expensive.. I REALLY think 20" is way over the top without even seeing the vid yet. But I've been thinking this since even seeing the 16".. It just seems that one would give up a lot of variation and play ability for the sound of two crashes that yes would be different, but is it worth it? And, honestly, I'm not trying to stir {censored} here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marko46 Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 O.K. I saw it. Not impressed. Very "sloshy" sounding, (that may not even be a word) too much so for me anyway. I don't think it opened all the way up once, but SBS doesn't call for it to I don't believe. That's not a very good representation for me to comment on my question anyway. But if you're into that, run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kabaalk Posted May 15, 2009 Members Share Posted May 15, 2009 I think the kid's playing more affects the sound... they seem to have more potential than pinky-out playing could possibly provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is definitely sloshier than something like 13's (which, to me, are too "ticky" and chirpy), so no, you won't get Copeland sticking out of them. Though with proper foot pressure, you can get a tick that passes for 15's.This sums up what 18" hats are about for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
