Members Not a Machine Posted March 11, 2003 Members Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hello! I've been lurking on the forum for a couple of months now. The threads have a useful resource for deciding on the purchase of my new kit. Two days ago I ordered it. Drums Rockstar Customs in Custom Blond finish 8x8, 9x10, 10x12, 12x14, 14x16 toms 18x22 bass 5.5x14 snare Hardware Iron Cobra Double Bass (Powerglide) Iron Cobra Hi Hat (same) Double tom stand (for the 14 and 16) HT530 Throne assorted stands and clamps for cymbals Cymbals 13" HH Fusion Hi Hats 6" AAX Splash 8" AAX Splash 10" AAX Splash 12" HHX Splash 14" AAX Mini China 16" HHX Xtreme Crash 18" HHX Xtreme Crash 18" HHX Chinese 21" HH Raw Bell Dry Ride I'm in my mid 30's. I started playing drums when I was 11, but stopped in my mid 20's. Have just had a drum pad and George Stone's 'Stick Control' to keep the frustrated drummer in check. About 9 months ago I snapped! I had to get a kit and play again. I walked into a music store and couldn't believe what I was seeing. The developments in drum technology over the last 10 years. WOW! The hardware. WOW! You young guys starting out now are sooooo lucky! Anyway, back then I was playing Pearl but dreamed of playing TAMA; all the pros (I liked) seemed to be using them (of course they all play DW now). So I gravitated towards the TAMA sets immediately (although those DW's sure are nice!). Not suprised to see that TAMA still has the great rep for quality it had back then. I've basically rebuilt the setup I used to have, minus one bass drum. I've gone for mid-range shells, but what I feel are the best in hardware and cymbals (you may not agree, that's OK). With good heads on them, I know these shells will have the 'voice' I am looking for. It's going to be a long few months, but the light at the end of this tunnel is in sight. In the mean time I am taking lessons once a week to get those rudiments back, work out the cobwebs and get some time behind a kit. BTW, thanks to everyone on this forum for sharing their opinions and experiences with different drums, hardware, cymbals, etc. Forums like this are a great resource.

Members Bigjohn Posted March 11, 2003 Members Share Posted March 11, 2003 Originally posted by Tamadrums Tama Rockstar Custom Amber. I don't own any Tamas, but at our gig last Saturday they had a house kit that I believe were Custom Amber Rockstars. This place just opened in January, so the drums are fairly new, they had the stock heads on still and they weren't too trashed yet:D I couldn't tell how the kick really sounded, since they had a big-ass pillow stuffed in there:mad: , but the toms sounded superb and they had an assortment of A.Zildjians with it also, they had the retail prices of the cymbals written in magic marker on each of them, probably to remind the drummers not to trash them, or take any home as 'souvenirs' I was disappointed when we first arrived because the club manager told our agent over the phone that the house kit was 'professional level', which led me to believe that I'd be playing DWs, Pearl Masters, Starclassics or similar level. Most club managers know jack-{censored} about drums:D But Rockstars are pretty damn good drums for their class......but I still like my Exports a little better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to walk into the store, see the stack of boxes that all that stuff is going to be in and bring it all home. I'm going to book a couple of days off work and just play!

Members woody431 Posted March 16, 2003 Members Share Posted March 16, 2003 N.A.M- How come you got 4 Splashes and only 2 crashes? You must like them obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Not a Machine Posted March 16, 2003 Members Share Posted March 16, 2003 Woody, Yeah, I like splash cymbals. I like the cripser sound and rapid decay they offer. A nice burst of sound that doesn't overpower what ever else I'm playing. Just what they are supposed to do. I like crash cymbals as well, but tend to use them sparingly (meaning I don't wail away on them). I'll probably add one more crash at some point. I really like the sound of the HHX line. The AAX line is very nice too. Hell, I like most cymbals. They've all got something wonderful to offer. See from another post that you're getting ready to buy some new cymbals too. Have fun picking them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
