eb ambs on tom resos is a good choice ~ eb pins as floortom resos would deaden the drum slightly, which is fine if thats what youre going for.

:chug:

[Metaldrummer616]

the ebony pins wouldnt deaden too much will it? if not then ill getting getting those heads:thumb:

no not too much ~ but i would only suggest it for floortoms.

[Metaldrummer616]

ok well thanks:chug:

[Zildjian]

just get some clear ambs..there better

[MeaninglessPhoto]

Yeah thats a good choice.

[jversluis88]

Don't get Pinstripes for your resos. Get ebony Ambassadors if anything.

[GhostNote]

get clear ambs instead of ebony's. they truly kick ***!

if the kid wants color, let him, or at least offer some proof why the clears are better. :rolleyes:

Agreed. Considering you probably, have never played Ebony heads.

Try ebony ambs for all resos, the pins will sound absolutely APPALLING in that role, I'm not sure what Thugs is thinking here.

he had mentioned in another thread that his floortoms ring too much compared to his racktoms. i explained to him that its because of the depth of the floortoms that they ring so much and to cut back on that ringing he should use a 2ply reso, but only on the floortoms, not on the racks.

its a valid suggestion.

AH, ok. What I would suggest is...I have deep floor toms also, and I've achieved a good sound from them. Just tune the bottom head a bit higher than the top, cut down on excess warble and ring.

[Metaldrummer616]

ok. so i should just get ebony ambs for the floor toms instead of the ebony pins?

[TTTSNB]

Thats what I would suggest.

[Metaldrummer616]

ok ill just get those instead

[HeLLmO]

^excellent choice

[ThugsRook]

yea thats what i do too ~ tune the reso up to take the slop out of the drum.

a 2ply reso would lose the slop at a lower tuning tho.



a screw it ~ lets all just go concert tom ;) :thumb:

[Metaldrummer616]

ok, so once my ebony ambs come in ill have coated emperors on top and ebony ambs on bottom. should i use remO's on them cuz i already some. or should i just not use them?

[HeLLmO]

^well, tune 'em up the best u can first, then decide if u need the o rings, if u fiddle around with the batter and reso heads u should hit a nice tuning and not require the o rings

[Metaldrummer616]

yea i was gonna do that cuz i hate orings cuz they rattle and fall off.

[TTTSNB]

yea thats what i do too ~ tune the reso up to take the slop out of the drum.

Yeah, but 2 ply over 2 ply gives you such a dead sound.

[Metaldrummer616]

will it have some sustain to it? i think ill just get the 2 ply for my floor toms to get rid of some ring.

[Chippy569]

Agreed. Considering you probably, have never played Ebony heads.
Nope, never.

not when i started

Lemme be the first to say....

OWNED!

[Swiftay]

hahahahahahahaha holy moses we_love_lime, you just got your *** handed to you.

[Metaldrummer616]

hey since you have used ebony ambs for resos, wut kind of sound do they make: long sustain or short sustain?

[We_Love_Lime]

hahahahahahahaha holy moses we_love_lime, you just got your *** handed to you.

Actually I was talking to ghostnote...

[Chippy569]

uhh, no different?

We_Love_Lime: sorry then! specify next time.

[We_Love_Lime]

We_Love_Lime: sorry then! specify next time.

No worries... I thought I made it obvious by quoting your quote which you quoted off the other guy ( ghost note ). But I forgive you, partly on my stupidity. It's really okay though, you just made me look foolish infront of all MXDP ( OMG !!!!) ;)

[Chippy569]

hey, you gotta admit, it was a good burn.

love 'ya really tho ;)

p.s. do you really come from lebanon?

[We_Love_Lime]

Yeah It was a good burn.

Lebanon? Ahh no. My Mom is Lebanese, My dad is American. I actually was born in kansas. My mom came over during the Lebanese Civil War so I'm stuck here. I like to think of myself more as an Arab/Lebanese than an American for obvious reasons.

[Chippy569]

hmmm, interesting.

[We_Love_Lime]

Very Much So. Yes.

[\m/-CHeV-\m/]

I wonder how ps4 over pins would sound on toms xD
hahahahahahahahahahaha

[GhostNote]

Agreed. Considering you probably, have never played Ebony heads.


Exactly, how did you come to that conclusion? Considering you don't know me, nor do you know of the heads that i have played:rolleyes:. Yes, i have played Ebony ambassador heads.


To Chippy: Sorry, i didnt have the energy to write it at the time. Ebony ambs have a warmer, more open sound than normal, clear ambs. I prefer a brighter sounding head as a reso. But really it is the threadstarter's own decison as to what he/she wants and what soun he/she is after.

Btw; that was a great burn. Man, i wish i'd thought of that, and i had photos of my kit with ebony's on them....damn

Assuming you played Jazz and Funk, and had a jazz and funk style kit ( and remebring you saying you played jazz and funk ) I came to the conclusion that most people who play jazz ( and funk ) tend not to have ebony heads. I was just saying that sometimes people tend to jump on the bandwagon and say "A" is better than "B" without actually testing them. Sorry...

Great Burn.. Yeah Yeah;). It would have been funnier if I was actually talking to him.

Ohk then, fair enough. I know what you mean about the "jumping on the bandwagon" thing though, i see and have seen it alot. Its cool. Yeah, i do play jazz and funk, i jst wanted to see what they sounded like, and to be honest, i didnt like them in the style i was playing.
