[aznriceball]

thats some pretty seksi html ya go there. unfortunately that doesnt work here

[DuckinFutch]

pics fail....

sounds sweet though

[aznriceball]

mounted 16" toms = seks! that bass looks like a penis though

[Drum Monkey]

Those are hot drums! Nice buy although I'm not liking the bass...

The set-up isn't too low?

-DM

[spaun_rom]

no...actually i'm the one too high on the pics but i got my seat lowered...

[Plan B.]

Wow, that's lovely, how much did that cost you?

[Byron]

you should put your seat back up again and angle your snare away from you up to a 45 degree angle, Gene Krupa has his snare like this on Sing, Sing, Sing on drummerworld, I have mine at probably around 15 degrees

I like the snare finish and the rest of the finish is okay but not great, and welcome to MX


are those tags hanging off the drums??
why are they still on there?

[spaun_rom]

3200$ canadian bucks

thats nice..but as u can see in his pics, he's playing match grip. krupa plays trad, and the angling away from u is for *gasp* trad rimshots.

angling the snare away from you works great for matched grip too, I have tried it for about 1 month and I wouldn't consider going back to how I used to play due to the pain I used to get in my wrist from doing hours of rimshot accents from David Garibaldi grooves :thumb: :) :wave:

cause we all know that setting your kit up like gene's will make you as good as him. its his kit, dont tell him how to set it up when its perfect the way it is.

if he had the massive tom angles, then you tell him to try makin them flatter, but his is fine how it is.

I am not saying that it will make him as good as Gene Krupa, I am simply saying that it helped me
I thought I was "fine" before I changed it, if you don't try new things how will you find the best set up for yourself
I was simply using the example of Krupa to increase my credibility so people would be more prone to believiing me, Steve Smith, after studying with Freddy Gruber(who convinced Neil Peart to play more with trad), recommended the same thing somewhere I read, I think in Modern Drummer's technique article. I just as easily could have used Steve Smith as an example, I just like Krupa more

[Tim]

wow man that looks really awesome. how do they sound? how much?

[[Fonya]]

Nice kit man, I like the snare finish!

[RushHourSoul]

Sweet, looks very nice.

[raz0r]

Wow, that's a nice kit, except for the 20" deep bass.
I've never liked deep bass drums myself

[iplaybass9340]

Thats one awesome kit. Really nice set-up and all. I love it!

[ThugsRook]

whens the rest of it showing up?

nice finish, but the bassdrum resohead lug casing are in a very weird position. i cant say i like that.

enjoy'em :)

[billdrum]

Sharp. I've always admired Spaun drums from afar. Never played one though. Looks great! Definitely make sure you sit lower or raise the drums higher or you'll have back problems!

[spaun_rom]

wow man that looks really awesome. how do they sound? how much?


3200$ canadian funds

they sound F***ing awesome!

i love the bass drum!

[puppet.master]

nice ****ing kit man

specs on the cymbals pls

[The Fiction We Live]

Nice looking kit!

Why do you play with two different sticks? And your cymbals looks like they've taken a beating via Barker sig sticks.

[poppinfresh]

do you have to get up off your throne to hit the tom like travis barker?

[TTTSNB]

Thats looks great man, but that setup...ugh, that must be kinda awkward. Just raise everything up a bit, maybe lower your throne also (Looks like you sit awfully high), and you'l be good.

[HEEEL]

I'd HATE to have to carry that bass drum around, let alone try and fit it through a small door frame or fit it into my car :)

Nice finish though.

[spaun_rom]

Nice looking kit!

Why do you play with two different sticks? And your cymbals looks like they've taken a beating via Barker sig sticks.

they were the two i had left...

[spaun_rom]

i have lowered it

[spaun_rom]

no...lol i'm born with extension on my arms :thumb:

[Hammerheart]

[spaun_rom]

Especially the bass...i love it!

[spaun_rom]

How long have you been playing? Not my style of music, But you played solid. Good job.

oh thanks...been playing for about 8 years...but you should wait for the new songs ...those beats are easy...btw i'm the lead singer too... in the new songs even I am impressed by the beats i'm playing while singing!

i'll post a thread when they'll be recorded

[Skin Beater]

Wow another kid on mx with bad technique and a trendy sparkle kit with a 20" deep kick drum. Who would have thought!

[spaun_rom]

Wow another kid on mx with bad technique and a trendy sparkle kit with a 20" deep kick drum. Who would have thought!

wtf...you never saw me played and i went with a 20" deep cause i liked the sound...if you don't like it ok...but don't come here and criticize my technique

[billdrum]

they were the two i had left...

So you can afford a Spaun kit, but not sticks eh? Ought to have a stick bag full!

[spaun_rom]

So you can afford a Spaun kit, but not sticks eh? Ought to have a stick bag full!

hey that's how it is! :thumb:

[Hammerheart]

Well, you can kind of tell by the picture that you don't have the best technique.

[spaun_rom]

Well, you can kind of tell by the picture that you don't have the best technique.

works for me

[Hammerheart]

works for me

That's awesome dude.

[Brokensticks]

It is hard to sing while play an instrument like the drums. Good job on that.

[Futuro]

I would be more impressed if you could sing and play trumpet at the same time (Lame joke)

[aznriceball]

according to the movie 'the exorcism of emily rose' u could sing, and be your own backing vocals at the same time

[spaun_rom]

I would be more impressed if you could sing and play trumpet at the same time (Lame joke)

ahaha...thats a good one

[spaun_rom]

according to the movie 'the exorcism of emily rose' u could sing, and be your own backing vocals at the same time

probably....didn't see the movie though...i'm too scared :eek:

[Sonor3k1]

Rich kid, eh?

Nice kit though!

[spaun_rom]

Rich kid, eh?

Nice kit though!

actually i worked 6 months at minimum wage before being able to buy it

[full collapse]

You're making those great cymbals look like crap. Stay away from those nylon tips. I'm LOVING the kit, though. Great buy.

[Hammerheart]

You're making those great cymbals look like crap. Stay away from those nylon tips. I'm LOVING the kit, though. Great buy.

Nylon tips don't make those marks. I've used them for quite sometime and my cymbals dont have marks on them like that.

[spaun_rom]

Nylon tips don't make those marks. I've used them for quite sometime and my cymbals dont have marks on them like that.

the hat and the ride are like 15 years old!

it's now impossible to clean them

[full collapse]

Nylon tips don't make those marks. I've used them for quite sometime and my cymbals dont have marks on them like that.

Yes they do. I don't feel like giving an explanation.

[Plan B.]

I find wooden tips to produce more noticable marks.

[Aaron]

Yes they do. I don't feel like giving an explanation.
then get off mx lazyboy.

[Aaron]

are those tags hanging off the drums??

i dare you to make a post without name dropping. i dare you..

[Josiah]

Hmm so that's about $2,800 US.. when's the rest of the kit coming?

[Byron]

i dare you to make a post without name dropping. i dare you..
you suck :thumb:

[Aaron]

with postage it may be all.

[Japan3gro]

Hmm so that's about $2,800 US.. when's the rest of the kit coming?


Haha.....some people just gotta have it I guess.

[spaun_rom]

Hmm so that's about $2,800 US.. when's the rest of the kit coming?

who said anything about the rest of the kit?

[Brokensticks]

who said anything about the rest of the kit?

he was being a smart-***. But that's a lot for the amount of drums you got.

[LittlePound]

sexy set, i like teh black rims, looks good with that "silverish" color

[derryk]

What do offset lugs do?

Nice kit, as well!

[full collapse]

then get off mx lazyboy.

Oh, you think you're cool? Did I ever say anything to you? I was talkign to the threadstarter and he didn't have a problem with it and it doesn't regard you, don't try to be tough on the internet. Grow the **** up.

[spaun_rom]

What do offset lugs do?

Nice kit, as well!

nothing ...it's just looks rad!

[Josiah]

who said anything about the rest of the kit?


Twas a joke, at your expense son. You pad nearly $1,000 per drum. You've been throughly ripped off. There's really no way around that one at all.

I could have walked into any local store and bough a 6 piece DW/Yamaha/Sonor in Laquor or Exotic finish for the same price. Without haggling.

Unless you want to argue your drums sound literally twice as good. Well then, I guess that's why Spaun's so famous.... oh wait............

[Aaron]

Oh, you think you're cool? Did I ever say anything to you? I was talkign to the threadstarter and he didn't have a problem with it and it doesn't regard you, don't try to be tough on the internet. Grow the **** up.
omg yr so hxcx. if your too lazy to post something worth reading, then dont.

[ThugsRook]

Hmm so that's about $2,800 US.. when's the rest of the kit coming?
youre gettin slow Jo, i already poked fun at him for that on page 1 ;)

:chug:

[xeonman9000]

That is gorgeous, black hardware pwns. How about some sound clips?

[jcreamer89]

Nice man.

[The Ska Man]

I love the bass! And all the rest, too.

[Josiah]

youre gettin slow Jo, i already poked fun at him for that on page 1 ;)

:chug:

Haha I know, place moves to fast for me old man hands now a days...

[crolfe1]

Icould have walked into any local store and bough a 6 piece DW/Yamaha/Sonor in Laquor or Exotic finish for the same price. Without haggling.

I know what you mean. I have my shops' down to $2990 for a 6 piece DW f.a.s.t sizes in a satin finish. How could you swing that for an exotic?! *Is curious*

[Josiah]

Drum prices are cheaper in this area, simply do to the large amount of shops competing for business.

My comment was more along the lines of an exotic kit in store already, ordering one would prob cost a little more.

Even still, 3 grand for 3 drums is nuts.

[rockindrummer]

Nice kit man, but I agree you did pay a lot for them.

Josiah is right I could have gotten a 6 peice yamaha beech custom for around the same price.

[Josiah]

Except the don't make em anymore :(

Absolute's though!

Actually he could have 7 peice with no frills.

Or a 3 piece from craviatto!

[Half Life]

Looks awesome man. Must sound great :thumb: I'm curious....since no one has apparently asked and you haven't told, what kind of snare is that in the pictures? Also what's the deal with the massive chuck of moongel on there. C'mon man, I know you know better than that :p

[The Ska Man]

Ziiiiiing!

You could have gotten a stave kit from Global for that much!

[Stert]

Yes they do. I don't feel like giving an explanation.

no they dont.
and he already said they were from a pair of travis barker sig. sticks

i would love to hear that explination too.

[The Ska Man]

no they dont.
and he already said they were from a pair of travis barker sig. sticks

i would love to hear that explination too.

Nothing wrong with using a particular pair of sticks. Just cause Travis' name is on it doesn't mean everyone who buys'em is all "OmG TraVis IS teh roxorz"...... just most

[derryk]

Nylon tips never mark up my cymbals. Never.

[spaun_rom]

it's a pearl reference 14x6.5 but it's not mine

[full collapse]

omg yr so hxcx. if your too lazy to post something worth reading, then dont.

Oh, and you have? Let me check again. Nope.

[Brokensticks]

Except the don't make em anymore :(

Absolute's though!

Actually he could have 7 peice with no frills.

Or a 3 piece from craviatto!

Wow, when you mentions 1000$ per drum I just thought..... How stupid

[VTDS_xx]

Hello Brandon Saller.

lol, He played with one of those kits while he was on Spaun. Same sizes I beleive.

Looking good man.

[rockindrummer]

Except the don't make em anymore

Absolute's though!

Ya I know. I wrote custom as I wasn't sure how to spell absolute so ya.

[Josiah]

Ah rock on!

Beech drums rule. Unique sound, very amazing.

[Obelisk]

I'm sorry - 3200 seems like way too much. But if you are happy then great.

Nylon tips don't mark cymbals. Cheep drum heads whose coating transfer from head to stick mark cymbals.

[Banshee]

I dont like the gap between the tom and floor tom, looks a bit of a distance

[Killjoy]

wow dude thats is a really nice kit. :)

[Half Life]

it's a pearl reference 14x6.5 but it's not mine

^Noice :cool:

[theflame85]

great finish mate, i love it.

[Ally]

Oh, and you have? Let me check again. Nope.

You're an idiot :wave:

[derryk]

^Ka-burn.

[Stert]

Nothing wrong with using a particular pair of sticks. Just cause Travis' name is on it doesn't mean everyone who buys'em is all "OmG TraVis IS teh roxorz"...... just most

i didnt say he was. did you even read my post? or just see the name travis barker and assumed i was flamming the threadstarter. i was just telling 'full collapse' he was wrong. that nylon tips dont mark up cymbals.

but travis barker sig sticks DO mark up your cymbals. because they are paint F'ing white. and thats what marked up the threadstarters cymbals, not nylon tips like full collapse says.

so i guess there is something wrong with using a particular pair of sticks.

[The Fiction We Live]

Yeah, if nylon tips marked up my cymbals like that I would never use them on my Paiste Signature Reflector ride.. but they don't....
