My Birthday Gift

[Massik Kretal]

My birthday is on Monday and so I'm wonderin what I should ask for. My parents were gonna get me a new computer (around 1000) but they said I can just use one we have which is pretty good.

So now I'm back on drums and I dunno what to get. I have this already:

I was thinking of getting an electric set but I don't know anything about electric's. So help me decide what to get, anything drum related no budget yet.

GO!

[Chippy569]

ask for new heads all around!

[Massik Kretal]

I think I'm gonna buy em with the money I get.

I'm lookin for a BIG gift. :p

[Chippy569]

how about something non-spoiled, like perhaps a fishing trip with 'pops or a learn-to-cook course with 'ma?

[Internet.]

bunch of recording gear (if you dont have that yet)

[Chippy569]

^indeed, an 8chan mixer, some mixer -> PC cables, and a mic kit would be spoiled enough :D

[derryk]

A new snare?

More crashes to put over your toms..?

Another chinese for.. somewhere..?

[fullmetalhaallee]

I got everything I need to mic my kit, mics all around, stands, mixer, everything for just under 500US! That is an idea there!

Im not spoiled. Only around birthdays lol. Becuase everyone chips in, my parents my grandma and my brother all chip in. I don't think they'll get me something 1000 or around there on there own or at all. But my mom will like the fact that there will be less or no noise becuase of an electric set.

I'm liking the mic idea.

And my dad doesnt fish, and I don't wanna cook at the moment. :p

[Tim]

get another snare or some cymbals. :D

[Internet.]

maybe some hard cases

[Chippy569]

maybe some hard cases
i asked for some for christmas... to no avail, but it was worth a shot.

[Chippy569]

for a small B-day gift, you should ask for the lil' attachment that goes between your IC hat stand and your IC pedal there. those things are handy!

[Massik Kretal]

That's a medium gift lol. Its like 100 something right?

[Tim]

That's a medium gift lol. Its like 100 something right?

haha. be liek osirix.

damn boy, your kit is good! i would get mics! I have the Roland TD-3's with the mesh snare, they are quite nice, but buying the amp and stuff is extra money that you forget about when thinking about buying electrics.

I wouldnt get an amp. Not yet atleast. What else would not come with the set?

[Swiftay]

let's see, with my set i got one cymbal, one ride, three toms, one mesh snare, hi hat pad, hi hat pedal and the drum module.

So you would need something to hook in to listen to it, a.k.a headphones or an amp, and pedals, and you already have those, obviously.

and yeah it supports double bass.

also, after i got the set i bought some chords to hook it into my computer, but those are pretty cheap.

ALSO, if you get headphones, don't get ones with the small input like on normal mp3 player headphones, because then you'll have to get one of those big adapters and when you play they wobble around sometimes and mess up the sound of the kit.

[rockindrummer]

Hard cases. Especially if you plan on gigging at all.

Hmm alright thanks. I'mma look into it.

[Meridian91]

get a maid and someone to fix your tom angles lol...

jk maybe.. umm

rack??

heads??

[drummer_mp3]

Get a new snare! Or two more toms.

[Massik Kretal]

Actually I like those angles, but after alot of consideration I flattened them out. But I couldnt flatten the 12" out becasue it's to big so now I have:

8 10 ride 16

Heads I said I'm gonna by myself. A rack is a pretty good idea as well. Right now it's electric set, mics, or rack.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Some dusters for a start :lol:

A Cobra Clutch

And a double danmar pad

[fishbulb]

a rack would be sweet.

[Snarz]

MY b-day is on monday but im only looking for money...But i think you should get a rack.

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

yeah man, go for a new crash!! look into some 17 or 18" aax0s :thumb:

[Talos]

*tut* *tut* You shouldve wrote your list a long time ago.



I say go for an electric kit but go for a Yamaha not a Roland so you can afford an amp or something else for you electric kit like an extra pad or cymbals or something. Or get some more stuff for your acoustic kit like more cymbals, another few toms or whatever.

[Massik Kretal]

Well I looked into electric sets...

What would be the smartest move...

1. Buy a Roland TD12 Drum Module ($1,295.00) and add my money to get a kick and snare pad.

2. Buy a whole set with a lower end module but more pads. The Roland TD3SV V-Compact Drum Set. ($800-ish)

3. Some other idea lol.

I was thinking if I can get an electric set from my parents. And then getting either a rack or.....CONCERT TOMS! :naughty: with my money.

[Undisco Kidd]

Whatever happened to you getting a new set?

[Massik Kretal]

I found the ultimate set....

YAMAHA MAPLE ABSOLUTE

It's godly, and costs alot. So I'm gonna hold off till next year, becuase I would still like to "upgrade" this set or get something I need more.

[Quinto]

or buy a piece or two of a 5 piece dw custom

another bass drum

a craviotto unllimited

[MatthewMeredith]

The thing with buying a cheaper module, is that it will only come with enough inputs for the a simple five piece, hi-hat, ride, and maaaaaybe two crashes... If anything, I'd go halfers with your parents and get the Roland TD20. Its a bit pricey, but I looked around at electric drums for a year, and tried about evey set out, and none of them even sound similar to real drum, except the TD20.... Anyways, that's my two cents.... Hope it helps! :chug:

[Massik Kretal]

Well I got 270 for my birthday...

[Drum Phil]

I was happy with having half of my K Custom crash paid for.

[gimp fest]

Well I got 270 for my birthday...

from you parents...super-dissapointment for you if it is.

[Panopticon]

i would love to get 270...:upset:...that would bring me over the top for my Pro M...which would be sweet...but i found a buyer for mine...selling it for 115...lol i just don't care anymore...i just wanna get rid of it...

me too :P i'm just saying that if he was hoping for thousands of dollars that is a major let-down.

[Panopticon]

true dat.

[Talos]

Well he wanted a £1,000 PC so £270 is a dissapointment.

If were right I know how you feel MK, I was supposed to be getting a Tama Superstar of my parents for Xmas but I didnt :upset:

All the same, I hope i get £270, im usually allowed £300 but well see what happens :)

[Drum Phil]

I got £75 towards my K Custom fast crash from my parents and £40 off the price from my local drum shop and i was more than happy with that.

[Zildjian]

Cobra clutch would be pretty sweet....A rack sounds good to.

[Massik Kretal]

me too :P i'm just saying that if he was hoping for thousands of dollars that is a major let-down.

:lol:

My freinds that came to my party total gifts = $270

And DrumPhil I'd be happy with w/e but there okay with getting me a new computer, but they decided they arent so....why can't that money be transfered to drum money?

My moms thinking about it. I wanna get a rack or concert toms but I dont have enough for them I dont think.

Last night was my party tommorow is my actual birthday. Man last night was crazy.
:smoke: :chug::smash:

[-TheGlassPrison-]

guys i just had my 15th bday party and we had pop and pizza and it was CRAZZZYY

[Electric Requiem]

my choice for electric would be to ask for
- a rack
- a module
- some e-cymbals and an e-hat
- an amp
than build the toms, snare and kick yourself
http://forum.drumshed.org/forumdisplay.php?f=42

Im going to be converting my snare to electric this week, then Im going to start building an entire electric set and sell my acoustic by summer time

[SkaRabbit]

po0rn...Sorry wrong forum

[[Fonya]]

You still get money from your friends at a birthday party? And I do think your spoiled.

[Massik Kretal]

Yeah it's called birthday gifts...

guys i just had my 15th bday party and we had pop and pizza and it was CRAZZZYY

oMg yU toOo?!?!?

[-TheGlassPrison-]

I was mocking you.
And yes, you're spoiled.

[Massik Kretal]

I know you were. :rolleyes:

And no I'm not. It's not like this happens every birthday or every day or w/e your thinking. Somehow my parents decided that they were willing to put down a grand on a new computer, which there not getting anyway.

But how about we stay on topic, which is DRUMS (remember?), and help me out here with finding and/or choosing what to get.

Thank you.
