Hi, I just got my 3005 and set it up. Can anyone comment on how my drums are set up, maybe some suggestions? Thanks in advance to whoever helps me!:chug:

Looks nice dude! Im loveing the ride. Mabye try putting the ride cymbal a little farther away so it doesnt bear over your floor tom as much?

Also, try lowering your hats a little or raising the snare. Thats what id prefer, having the two a little closer.

I want a 3005.

>_<

It actually looks pretty decent, toms aren't at too extreme of an angle. A couple of those cymbals (the one near your HH's, especially) you might want to try flattening a bit.

5000s = pure shecks

Nice choice.

[CARMEN77]

yeah i love them sooo much. I had iron cobra jr's and they suck so hard compared to the 5000. I know there is a huge price diffrence though heh...

Nice ride and pedals.

Setup looks great, nice pickup all around.

[CARMEN77]

The heads that came with the set suck though. Ive replaced only the snare head so far...The bass sounds good, I put a pillow in it...I know some people say not to do this but it works great.

nice pedals. :D

I'd flatten the cymbals a little. And I would never use the crash on the right because it's so out of the way, but if it's comfy for you then do what works.

[chickensandwiches]

you could move the floor tom a wee bit closer to you so you dont ever accidentally tap the ride

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

looking at your crash i would say you ride your crash xD..
You're terrible in taking pictures and cleaning cymbals xD jkn man :)..

i say flatten you cymbals a little, maybe lower them a bit..

[aznriceball]

i hate black, but ur ride is seksi

[CARMEN77]

Does cleaning cymbals enhance the sound?

Im sorry bout the bad pics my drums are backed up into a wall so it was hard to get a back view without doing 1 half then the other.

I am suppose to be reciving my other floor tom soon...'

[Drum Phil]

If you like dark cymbals, no
If you like bright cymbals, yes

Nice kit man.

[nonsense!]

Why not WHITE LACQUER SPARKLE?!

Why not WHITE LACQUER SPARKLE?!

Yeah, White Sparkle is awesome, its the best finish you can get a 3005 or 2005 in.

[nonsense!]

Did I mention that's what I got mine in? :D

Anyways, nice kit thread starter. Good choice, I think you'll be as pleased as I am.

[Talos]

I kind of think, that normal colours are a waste. Colours like Wine Red, Black, Silver ( Not so common ) and Metallic Blue can ALL be found on cheap beginner kits.

Thats why my next kit will be in Tobacco Fade or Ice Blue Fade, A Pro M :)


BTW - I have a new keyboard so now I have an ' e ' button :D

IM a bland guy when it comes to colors. I dont like to stand out so I chose the same approach with my drum set. BLACK is my favorite color too!
