Rate the Drumset of the Person Above you.

[Panopticon]

So i was bored and went into the bass forum.

I jacked this from them and thought it would be fun...

The title explains it all...you don't need to give a reason but you can if you want.

Give a rating out of 10 (1 being the worst) and then post a pic of your set.

Include two pictures: Overhead view, and Side/front view so people can clearly see the setup and finish.

Heres mine:

[Icky_Mettle]

I give it an 8, because the cymbals rule!

[White]

yeah, if you didn't have wicked cymbals, I would say 3 because your toms are set up so terribly. move the closer together, and angle them less.

[mamcdonald]

Why are there three logos from two different companies on your snare head?

[Panopticon]

guys...when you rate the kit you have to post you're own as well!

Yeah, i had the single chain model. It wasn't that bad of a pedal for the price...

EDIT: Yeah it looks like you have the single...

7 man, pretty good, i like the kit and skins, but the cymbals, bleh (no offence i just dont like them). But apart from that, pretty good, man.


Here's mine:
Premier Artist Birch; 20x8, 10x6, 13x11, 13x5.5
Zildjian; 13" K hats, 18" Avedis vintage ride (drilled, taped)

+5 on the Istanbul cymbals! +1 on the AA, +1 on the side snare, +1 on a good setup. -1 on the uncomfortable looking throne/stock head combo. Solid 7/10. Its getting there!

So here we go... CR's drum kit (without the new, and exceptionally good sounding upgrades!! Pics to come on that soon.)

It was either that or your classic beginner finish, black. I'm glad I have the silver :)

Here's one of my setups..

Stop slowchatting :p

I'd give it an 8 (Gill's kit), nice finish, good setup.

Nice kit Josiah. I'll say... hmmm... an 8. New heads would improve that though :naughty:

How do you like that Lever Glide Iron Cobra Hi-hat stand? Would you rate it higher than the Velo Glide?

-DM


Haha yea, those are hmm "shed heads". I have 4 or 5 sets of tom heads I'll switch out depending on the music/gig.


It's not better or worse, it's just different. The difference is the identical of that between a accelerated kick pedal and a normal (linear) one.

As you push the pedal down more, the top hat will move more, or visa versa. This allows for both a longer throw and faster action. The feel is different, but that's a personal thing. This would be apposed to the straight linear pull of the other version.
Both are excellent, top of the line stands.

[Drum Monkey]

Josiah's: 7,5, heads need replacement, crappy throne, cymbals are ok.
I agree with the heads but he puts his *** on the throne I don't think it really matters what the top looks like... For cymbals I see some A Customs, a Sabian AA and a Paiste Rude?... Those a good cymbals.

It's not better or worse, it's just different. The difference is the identical of that between a accelerated kick pedal and a normal (linear) one.
Yeah but I noticed the Lever Glide looks a little more heavy duty, but looks can be deceiving... Also it's more popular so I was just wondering. I have an Iron Cobra Power Glide although I've never tested the hi-hats stands...

-DM

[Josiah]

Yea, I can see that. Prob cause the lever has a bit more stuff in the linkage area (to create the caming effect).


Paiste 2002 actually.. but close. Yes, all top of the line cymbals. Not sure how that could improve any....


Oh forgot, that's a Yamaha Beech Custom..

[Drum Monkey]

Oh forgot, that's a Yamaha Beech Custom..

You know what.... there are SO many beautiful kits here!! I've just realized something.... I LOVE COATED HEADS!! Not something I realised until just now :) What coated heads do people use?

I use coated emps

[styler]

coated g2's at the moment.

Coated G1's over Clear G1's

[trysthedrummer]

Not very good picture I'm afraid. :(

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/trystan/DSC00245.jpg

Yes, I know about the angles and whatnot. Unfortunately that's the best I can get them, without them being pretty much horizontal. Seriously, it's crap.

[White]

I give it a 7

[Panopticon]

i'm sure you could get it in a MUCH better position...

[trysthedrummer]

Phew I thought someone would put about a 5.

No, seriously you can't. I could lift them up, so they're more flat, but then they would be a fair foot from the snare. Or so...

[CasB]

Raise your snare then ;)

[Sameasskicker]

how do you post an image?

[conniption]

Trysthedrummer 6.5/10 As you said, the angles are a bit ****ed.

I put the reso head back on the bass since I took the pictures about a month ago.

[White]

I give it a 5/10 lol, not a fan of Tama, or Tama cymbals.

[trysthedrummer]

Raise your snare then ;) It is already high. And if I do it more it'l be too high. I'm not that tall! :D

I tried to match them up as close as I could to the snare, and I'm not moving that, it's in perfect place! It's the mounts, they are bab.


I'm sure my cymbals make up for it! :)

:(

[styler]

thats one stuffed bass.

i dont much care for your angles. or the cymbals (lol)

nice though.

[fishbulb']

I have coated ambs for the guy who asked.

[conniption]

Yeah I need new cymbals. I'm probably gonna work my way up, getting one at a time and eventually they will be good. My snare angle is basically flat, but the tom angles haven't changed much since taking the pictures.

[fishbulb']

bulb that has to be one of the coolest things i have ever seen, cow bell with a pedal, woot!!
Thanks! I appreciate it.

[FL3P]

Not a bad kit there

[trysthedrummer]

I give that seven. Layout of cymbals is not my thing, however, colour, hardware etc is not bad.

My toms aren't angled like those and I got 6 :S

[Josiah]

Josiah, nice kit man! i dont think anyone has mentioned how comfortable it looks to play!! (Except your throne... Looks like it is full of pins! :lol: ouch)


Haha thank you. It IS a very comfy kit.. as all mine are. I'm all about the comfort.

It's just the leather is cracked is all. It really looks worse then it is. I use it a lot.. so yea.. haha that's what happens.

[styler]

edit:
woops, though i was still in the stronghold. my bad :)

[DillingerEscp]

Yeah, the sabian symbal (2nd from the left) is in a different position now, I have it right inbetween the two rack toms, much easier to get to... and I got a new Ride. a Zildjian Ping Ride, and that is sheer beauty, however, my set is 9 hours away from me :( so I can not get any recent pics.

[fishbulb']

9 hours away?? That means you can't play it for at least nine hours if you wanted to.

[styler]

Yeah, the sabian Cymbal (2nd from the left) is in a different position now, I have it right inbetween the two larger rack toms, much easier to get to... and I got a new Ride. a Zildjian Ping Ride, and that is sheer beauty, however, my set is 9 hours away from me :( so I can not get any recent pics.
why would your set be so far away?

[Chippy569]

only 2 people commented on mine... that's odd.

[FL3P]

There are just way too many kits and some nice ones at that.

[TTTSNB]

Haha thank you. It IS a very comfy kit.. as all mine are. I'm all about the comfort.

It's just the leather is cracked is all. It really looks worse then it is. I use it a lot.. so yea.. haha that's what happens.
yeah, the only issue I'd have with it is the lack of cymbals on the left side, I like to keep my setup fairly ambidextrous personally.

[drummer_mp3]

Here's my machine.

[drummer_mp3]

8 cause there's only one floor tom.
Sorry can't afford another one right now.

[Josiah]

yeah, the only issue I'd have with it is the lack of cymbals on the left side, I like to keep my setup fairly ambidextrous personally.

It is almost. The angle of the picture changes the perspective but it's nearly a clean arc from side to side. The china might be a touch behind the main hats. The problem is logistics. It makes more sense to have smaller cymbals in tighter where a lot more work is going on, the splashes, hi-hats and smaller snare.

The carshes not only need more room to swing, but I need more room to swing. Not nessicarily for power but show. Unless the drumset was setup via center (hat's in the center), then it's pretty pointless to fight against the natural occuring bias of a normal setup.

It's just like guitar, just not as extreme. The hands have slightly different roles.

Also, to add crashes on the left side would require either stands, or a 3rd rack segment. Wich is just totally out of the question to sneak 1 extra crash onto the left side.

Another reason is more practical. The left side is left open for a music stand (i need charts a lot) and also so I can have a clear viewing angle towards the bass player and communication is easier visually.

[full collapse]

6.5/7 to drummonkey. I'm not too keen on the finish, but i like your setup :)

I used a wooden doll rod for that actualy and covered it with duct tape haha. Most of those stands are covered because they were all rusty and pretty shot down. It holds up real well though.

About the vert. china-

Why not just drop it down and lay it flat? It'll make it easier to play (don't have to lift your arm up so high) and save you a lot of anger and money later (won't crack because of impropor placement).

Nice drum kit man..., i'd give it 9.89/10, jsut to be awkward. 10/10 is for something thats just totally outta this world.

Here is my kit. I desperatly need new heads, and new cymbals, but apart from that, i think it's a really nice kit...

Yuh, as i said,t he cymbals and heads are appaling, apart from that Paiste 1000, which is a really nice power crash. Just incase your wondering, that green floor tom is from ym guitarists kit. It sounds really bad, and it needs new heads more than my kit, but i aqquired it, so i could have a 6 piece to play on.

oh hell!

ANGLES!

[maniac0796]

hey, i find them comfy to play on. Surely what i find best to play on is good for me? What is wrong with tom angles. If your gonna say technique, then okay, i agree, they are crap, but if your gonna say sound projection or something, i'm only playing at home, and it's facing into a corner.

Also, it's quite hard to lower your toms so you can play them flatter, on a bass drum mount. They are quite deep toms, so i'd have to raise my whole drum kit up or something, to have them remotly flat...

[styler]

flat isnt what you should have your drums at.

[Panopticon]

having toms angled like that will ruin heads and wrists...its better for your wallet and health to flatten them out a tad...

1. It's bad for your wrists.
2. It'll ruin your heads.
3. You can raise your throne...

3. You can raise your throne...

seriously. thats got to be one of the easiest solutions and is applicable to half the new kits we see here.

sooo true lol. Also, yeah ,you are going to ruin your heads with bad angles and Technique is also bad with that.

[maniac0796]

okay, tommorow, i will have apaly around with the angles, try and find ones that won't ruin my wrists or heads, but i will also find comfortable to play

EDIT: Did the tom angles as i was bored, they seem okayish to play, i'm sure i can adapt/modify them a bit. How do they look now?

[zildjian1992]

Maniac, I say put your tom's how YOU want, don't be pressured into something you don't wanna do. If you play best with your toms angled the way you first had them, then just leave em' that way.

[White]

They look good now, But just slowly work your way up to flatter toms, and Raise your stool and Snare drum that will help alot.

I like the monkey on the stand!!

[PremierManiac]

Is it just me, or is the right side of the set heavily saturated with cymbals?

[AtomShip]

He's very right handed oriented.

[Drum Phil]

The second pic is the old setup :) i evened things up

[fishbulb']

It's so fun to crash with your left hand, i don't knwo why, make syou feel like a man or something. Hard to get used to though. Start early.
