[Rayne264]

[fullmetalhaallee]

snazzy kit

[jcreamer89]

I really doubt this kid worked his "***" off for that kit. He probaly cleaned his room, or did "work" for his dad. I am 16 and work 20+ hours a week, and after all my bills and such I can only like afford a cymbal mabye a month if I don't buy anything else.

[Drum Phil]

that ride is beautiful. I thought it was a sabian tri-top ride at first

i worked maitenance at a marina for the whole summer (30-35hr work weeks) and didnt spend any of the money , and im still 1500 in debt (the 15 month no payment no interest deal at GC applies to used gear aswell)

How can you be in that much debt, are you making payments? If so how are you going to attain more money? Are did your parents lend you 1,500 $?

[jcreamer89]

All I'm saying is that your drums look like there setup pretty messy, and I would of waited a couple years to buy a DW.

[The Fiction We Live]

It was used with DW stock heads? odd...

[meizmatt]

explain messy? i thought it only matters if its comfortable?

i have till august of next summer to pay it off, and yes if you put it that way my parents did lend me the 1500 but its not like im not gona pay em back....they know where i live

It was used with DW stock heads? odd...

if it was new then i got a great deal on it

[Jezen]

That is an AWESOME ride!!!! 24" Sultan.....DROOL!!!!

[Futuro]

Nice kit mang. :)

What a beauty.

If you picked such a lovely ride, how can you have a Z Custom?

:cool:

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Yeah and ZBT hats with a ****ing DW?

[meizmatt]

Yeah and ZBT hats with a fusty walrus!ing DW?
it was USED, it wasnt sitting long, and now after i pay off the rest of the kit, i just have to get a new snare, some hats, and a few accent cymbals(none of which is very expensive)

[meizmatt]

What a beauty.

If you picked such a lovely ride, how can you have a Z Custom?

:cool:
i liked the Z custom, it sounded nice, isnt that all that matters?

whats wrong with stock heads, and how do you know i didnt get my good hats stolen?

[Loyton]

whats wrong with stock heads, and how do you know i didnt get my good hats stolen?


I know because you didnt say that, and anyone with devolped melodic recognition would make an excuse for using such blasphemous sheet metal cymbals. I also know this because you are using stock heads. Whats wrong with stock heads? PLENTY of things. but at the top of the list is

1. They are crap.


Pry next on the list would be

2.They SOUND like crap

3.Those drums are NOT crap. Those heads SUCK.

Its like smearing feces all over natalie portman..... its only fun if you dont tell anyone about it.

[Quagmire 222]

no offense but you look way, way too young to deserve a DW. But if you play well than it's cool.

[meizmatt]

but they work dont they? its not imperitive to put new heads on my PRACTICE kit, yes i agree, with better heads it would sound better

ooo i forgot about the AGE LIMIT on buying drums....silly me

^That's probably the weirdest analogy I've ever read :confused: Anywho, sweet kit. I like it, although in the last pic it looks like your playing with licorice :lol:

[Loyton]

well you understand what hes saying.... like me getting a royals royce limited edition crusier for my first car kinda thing. Even if i did save up for it i wouldnt know how to treat it like a lady.... or put on the right heads.

you may be right, but i would have hoped your mom would have tauhgt you something....."if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all"

im not trying to pick a fight, im just really pissed that ive seen pics of bad kits, horrible cymbals, and terrible angles and ppl say "nice kit"...

and i post a few pics, and get attacked for having zbt hats(which i said id planned on replacing at a later date) and stock heads:confused:

stock heads=flame

sheet cymbals=flame


K, im finished being a ***** its to tireing. And sorry about the aarogant post above. Mostly, other drummers feel that one is "privilaged" with better kits as skill increases, like somthing you work up to. I wouldnt feel privialged enough to own that kit at my current skill. (I still would id just feel guilty)


But yea. Go buy this:


Evans clear g2's over g1's for the toms. An emad or eq3 or superkick for the bass. Everybody likes a differnt snare head so experiment with that. Youll love the way your set will sound with tuning and those heads!

What kinda hats are you looking into?

dunno yet, ill see when the time comes, but for now i have to focus on paying off these drums

[Splinter364]

Come on guys, its not right to label a kid rich when you see him with a nice DW kit. Maybe he did work for it, maybe he didnt but its not fair when you say he is a liar.

[Jomofo]

I'd say just ignore all the flaming and stuff.

That's one damn sexy looking kit.

I totally understand you have cheap hats and stock heads when you have such expensive drums....I had to use stock heads when I first got my new set because ALL of my money went into the new drums.

Anyway, once again, awesome set.

[CombatWombat3]

My god guys, lay off! All of you are acting like complete jackasses! Even if this is his first set, which I highly doubt it is, that's no reason to hate him in the slightest! I'm sure every one of you would have loved to start on a DW, and if this is his first kit, be happy for him that he can start on such a nice kit. There's no reason to be flaming him for that.

About the stock heads and ZBT hats, he knows he needs them replaced, and I'm sure he is getting around to it. But to some people, drums aren't everything in the world. Maybe he spent all his money buying those drums and didnt have enough to replace the hats and heads.


Anyway, I'm digging the finish. One thing I wou;d suggest is to try moving all your toms to the left one position, you might find it more comfortable. So that measn you would hav a 10" and a 12" mounted over your bass drum, and a 14" floor tom. Just a suggestion, nice setup otherwise!


(Sorry for the explosion, it just really bothers me when people flame others for no reason)

[rockindrummer]

Nice kit man, looks good.

[meizmatt]

its not my first kit anyway, i started on a cheap pacific, and i was blessed with the opportunity to buy such nice drums

(Sorry for the explosion, it just really bothers me when people flame others for no reason)

i cant do that because of the way they need to be mounted, it might be possible, but at a risk to the drums, or the purchase of a rack which is very far from priority

[Ill Mitch]

Sweet kit. Buying used is the way to go.

[I'd Hit it]

holy crap some people are real @ssholes (not pointing fingers) and are most definitely JEALOUS, for christ's sake... Don't let em get to ya man. I'm digging that red for sure , especially the satin (is it satin finish right?)

The fact he has stock heads and a lower end cymbal or two is totally understandable when you look at the kit...i mean fuk, give him a chance to pay it off then work on getting new heads and stuff, heads aren't exactly cheap when you got a 6 piece and want to swap batters & resos all 'round.

anyways nice kit ! it just pisses me off when random pr!cks start picking stupid childish internet fights for the stupidest reasons. believe me, not everyone here is like that.

Yuck. G1's is one thing. G2's is another. Blergh..

Lay off him Loyton. I think you're proof that you don't actually have to be a good poster to get stars.

Did you buy all good things for your drumkit, assuming you have good things for your drumkit, at once? I still have crappy hi hats, does that make me any less of a drummer? No.

Now shut up.

[JIRONS]

Nice kit, nerd. I love the black hardware.

[Der Meister]

so true :thumb: To bad im better at drumming.

"the istanbul cost me about $260 new"

Wow! for a 24"? That's really nice.

Nice drums, man. Those DWs are killer. Don't worry about the jealous kids here, they just cannot be happy for anyone but themselves.

Oh, and out of all the stock heads, the DW stock heads really are not that bad.

[Byron]

but they work dont they? its not imperitive to put new heads on my PRACTICE kit, yes i agree, with better heads it would sound better

Why would you spend so much on a practice kit, that seems a bit odd

but anyway, looks good

Better yet isnt he the same dude that had a dream about British Boy and TGP....in which his dream also involved rubbing BB's sack all over his body:eek: .....

[Jezen]

^^^
Is there something wrong with that :confused:

[IronCobra2x]

Holy crap... how can some of you guys sit in here and flame the kid for having some ZBT hats and stock heads? Did you ever think that after paying that much for the kit alone that he wouldnt have enough money for a whole new set of heads? or new hats? Stock head get you by until you can afford new ones. AND WHO REALLY CARES IF HE "DESERVES" the kit, whether he paid for it or got it as a gift doesnt matter its his and not yours. As long as you know that you are a good player who cares if someone has better **** than you. Its the player that matters, I know some guys who can play on a really shiity *** kit, tune it up and sound incredible on it. Nice by the way.

[IronCobra2x]

Why would you spend so much on a practice kit, that seems a bit odd

Because your practice kit is what you get good on. My uncle has a 5,000 dollar custom kit that he uses EXCLUSIVLY for practice. It really doesnt make much sense to get some so expensive and gig with it to get it a messed up and battered from transporting it so often. And your practice kit should be what you play most comfortable on.:thumb:

[rockindrummer]

hahaha jim your right, look at that 8" tom, pure metal. It really takes away from the drum. On 10" and up they look ok though.

[Pleaseme]

Nice stain. On the kit I mean.
Seriously though, well nice kit, Im jealous and want to kill you.

[spipedong]

Well I'm going to be one of the few to congratulate you. I have a cheaper Pacific kit.

When I was younger, my parents helped me pay for things a little, but I always had to carry the bulk. It really helped me appreciate where money came from. ex: my bass. It was $600. Parents had me earn 75% and they covered the other $150. After all the lawns I had to mow, garbage cans delivered (don't ask), and firewood split, let me tell you I had a great appreciation for where that $150 came from, and 5 years later I still do. (Of course I've been working for my own stuff since I could get out there)

[Der Meister]

anyway guy great looking kit, I love the black on red. I think that Doink has the same kit. You really got a great deal. And don't let the idiots on here get to you, just rememeber, you get to play on a fantastic DW kit ;)

Just my opinion though, and other than that it looks great! :D

[Canadian_Drummer]

^^^ true, ive never bin a fan of black hardware

I must agree with Sponer. My kit has black hardware but I just think on a DW kit with those style lugs it just makes it look a bit cheap and toy-like.

you have no idea how often i get that
