New Setup

[TTTSNB]

I ordered some rack pieces with money from relatives, and it inspired me to try a new setup. I bought a little bridge extension thing, and a left side. Unfortunately, the left side needs another foot, so I haven't put it up yet. The main hats are more far away now, but thats ok because I'm now mainly playing them with the left hand.
...Enjoy.

Get some audio/Video up! what is that above your floor toms? looks like a sawblade?

[billdrum]

Man you've got a ****load of cymbals. Setup looks great! Looks kinda spread out from the front, especially the left side (from driver's seat). Can you reach all those cymbals OK?

[TTTSNB]

Man you've got a ****load of cymbals. Setup looks great! Looks kinda spread out from the front, especially the left side (from driver's seat). Can you reach all those cymbals OK? Thanks, thanks. The left side is a little bit spread out, but the hihat is still accessible with both hands, and I mostly play that side exclusively with my left hand. The cymbals are pretty reachable, fairly close, even though they don't look like it.
Get some audio/Video up! what is that above your floor toms? looks like a sawblade? Oh, I just made a recording, it'l be up soon. Oh and yeah, thats a 10" Oldham sawblade.
Man, that thing is a monster, one day I hope to have a setup like that, one day.
hah, thanks man, I'm sure you'l be able to get it.

lookin really nice :thumb:




it looks like the rack is too big for the kit tho. quite a bit of space between the rack and floortoms.

Thanks man, yeah, I can't really use it single bass style though, doesn't really work out.

[Brokensticks]

Looks awesome as always. Looks bare without the bassdrum there though.

[aznriceball]

looks very symmetrical :thumb:

[Kaptor306]

ya, my thoughts exactly.

it looks empty without the other bass drum there.

[DxRocker]

holy toms and cymbals on a stick!

time to add a second bassdrum :smoke:

yeah, I don't want to buy another swingstar bassdrum though...rather just get a new kit.

[aznriceball]

wow..difficult to tell its a swingstar from first glance. esp from the cymbal orgy :amaze:

[TTTSNB]

yeah, haha, it sounds GREAT for the price, I mean, I could record with it, but I'd rather not spend more money on it when I could get better. Also, swingstar bassed are 22x18 now, my bass is 22x16.

[aznriceball]

yeah, they got fusion swingstars now. they are making it harder for newbs to tell.. and now we have stuff like pulse pros (oxym).. :lol:

[TTTSNB]

Alright, here's some new audio. Go to http://www.soundclick.com/willhendrix
and choose "Double Ride Patterns"
Edit: Fixed for everyone.

[Futuro]

Im not sure exactly what you changed but looks nice as always.

[Tim]

Alright, here's some new audio. Go to www.soundclick.com/willhendrixmusic (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/www.soundclick.com/willhendrixmusic)
and choose "Double Ride Patterns"

doesnt work. it just directs back to the soundclick home.

[drummerty]

That's a beauty of a set up. Lot's of cymbals rules. Looks like a lot of fun to jam on.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Yeah thats a beautiful set up man, Which Sabian china is that on the left?

[TTTSNB]

20" AA Metal-X. Its pretty cool actually, fairly dark and full of sustain.

[HeLLmO]

^gotta love AA Metal X(even though i hate AAX metal). again, ur set ****ing rocks. seriously, get that 2nd bass drum there and it will be beyond perfect

[DxRocker]

yeah, I don't want to buy another swingstar bassdrum though...rather just get a new kit.

ow... swingstar... didn't notice that :smash:

It's nice though, when you get a new kit, you only need toms and one or two bassdrums :D
Your hardware seems to be a-okay

[TTTSNB]

^gotta love AA Metal X(even though i hate AAX metal). again, ur set ****ing rocks. seriously, get that 2nd bass drum there and it will be beyond perfect
heh, alright, I think I'm gonna get a new kit with two kicks sometime soon.

[HeLLmO]

i love double bass kits, they are so great. i'm gonna use a double bass kit, even though most drummers in scremo bands just use single bass. i could be one of the first in Mass. to use 2 bass drums in a local scremo band, that would be cool

[Drum Monkey]

Nice set! Glad to see you decked it out with cymbals before buying a new kit... that's the way to go :thumb:

Yeah, totally, these drums sound pretty good actually when tuned right, but you can never tune a cymbal.

[Drum Monkey]

That's what I was thinking... They sound pretty good in the audio :chug:

What kind of set will you be buying next?

I'm thinking about a Conaway, since they're pretty good quality for a great price, who knows though.

I have no experience with them but I've heard good things!

Good luck with that and nice kit :chug:

[Aaron]

[TTTSNB]

[Aaron]

s'good. i went small [7"] and stacked over my 20" Crash.

[TTTSNB]

s'good. i went small [7"] and stacked over my 20" Crash.
Ah sweet, I've found that the bigger ones have a little more tone to them, but its nice to have a range of sounds.

[puppet.master]

how you liking that saw blade??

using it as a ride ??

[TTTSNB]

how you liking that saw blade??

using it as a ride ??
Yeah, the 7 1/4" is more of an accent, and the 10" I use as a weird sounding ride cymbal.

[Aaron]

i think 12" would be a good ride-type

[TTTSNB]

i think 12" would be a good ride-type
Yeah, I'd like to get a huge, like 20" saw blade and use it as a ride.

[Chester]

wow, i love ur kit, its huge!
i feel jealous cuz i still only have a hihat ride and crash lol

[Half Life]

'Tis a beast for sure! :eek: Diggin the setup man. Good stuff :thumb:

[Aaron]

Yeah, I'd like to get a huge, like 20" saw blade and use it as a ride.
18" stacked over a 22" wuhan china.. ultimate stack!

[TTTSNB]

'Tis a beast for sure! :eek: Diggin the setup man. Good stuff :thumb: hah, thanks man, I wish I had your splashes though.
18" stacked over a 22" wuhan china.. ultimate stack! That reminds me, I'd like a 22" china. ;)

[Black Rose Immortal]

cool setup man how do the saw blades sound?

[TTTSNB]

cool setup man how do the saw blades sound?
Thanks, l like a very high pitched ping, the 10" has quite a bit more overtones to it.

[motleydrummer]

i love your kit, and ive always wanetd to use a sawblade ever since i saw tommy lee do a solo with like 2431325345 of them, it was sick.

[TTTSNB]

Thanks man. And ugh.... Tommy Lee was the first to do that? ugh, I thought it was a metal thing, eh whatever. Oh, and just get one, they're like 10 bucks if you get a cheap one.

[styler]

Thanks, thanks. The left side is a little bit spread out, but the hihat is still accessible with both hands, and I mostly play that side exclusively with my left hand. The cymbals are pretty reachable, fairly close, even though they don't look like it.
Oh, I just made a recording, it'l be up soon. Oh and yeah, thats a 10" Oldham sawblade.

hah, thanks man, I'm sure you'l be able to get it.
sawblade is above your hi-hats isnt it?...what is over your floor tom?

[TTTSNB]

sawblade is above your hi-hats isnt it?...what is over your floor tom?
yeah, the one over my floor tom is a 10" sawblade, the one over the hats is 7 1/4"

[Drum Phil]

Im so jealous of your kit :( I want a sawblade now

[TTTSNB]

Im so jealous of your kit :( I want a sawblade now
hah, thanks. Get one,they're cheap.

[Drum Phil]

Aye but then i need something to mount it on. And i'd probably injure myself on it like a retard

[ThugsRook]

yeah, I don't want to buy another swingstar bassdrum though...rather just get a new kit.
you could prolly get one dirt cheap on ebay.



great kit :chug:

[White]

Get some audio/Video up! what is that above your floor toms? looks like a sawblade?
Ya it is a saw blade, a while back we ahd a big discussion on those lol, looking good by the way

[rockindrummer]

Nice kit man. That new setup looks awsome.

[TTTSNB]

you could prolly get one dirt cheap on ebay.



great kit :chug:
hmm, well if I could get one DIRT cheap, I might just get it. Oh, and thanks.

[Carn]

I'm thinking about a Conaway, since they're pretty good quality for a great price, who knows though.

you`ll pay an arm and a leg before that kit is on your doorstep.

[TTTSNB]

How so?

[ThugsRook]

im pretty sure there is a thread in here from someone that bought Conways, cost too much.
may as well go top of the line Sonor for that price.
they are nice tho.

:wave:

Conaways are really cheap from what I can tell, unless he adds on hidden charges.
