Members Merlin Coryell Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well the word is in from the main mods, we should have an official reviews section up and running before too long, on the main User Reviews page of HC. The review forms will be structured a lot like the other instruments, but will be tailored for drums and percussion of course. We are using the guidelines I had previously posted in the "Why the hell..." thread and should have sub-sections for each of the following: Drums, Cymbals, Hardware, and Accessories. I am waiting on more correspondence with the mods, but I will post all future news here too. We are finally getting some decent status here at HC.

Members 1001gear Posted January 17, 2008 Members Share Posted January 17, 2008 Frankly I think user reviewing drums is somewhat of a joke. I has my drum hit it go boom! Etc.. I'm sure that some useful info will make through though. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess so. Says an Administrator has to approve the submission as well. Hmm if they can establish the differences between various high end drums it'd be worth the read.

Members LowPhreak Posted January 18, 2008 Members Share Posted January 18, 2008 Good on ya Merlin for doing the legwork. But I've found that about 90% of the time, user reviews end up being cheering podiums for the latest thing that the "reviewer" bought. Nobody wants to think or admit that they made a wrong purchase or the item they have is not the greatest for the price paid, so it's easy to ignore the possible failings of new gear, at least until you've lived with it for awhile. A lot of it is simply over-excitement at getting something new. I take all internet user reviews with a very large grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
