If You Got a Record Deal?

[Berk]

What set would you buy for like recording/touring?.

I would get either exotic wood DW or a custom OCDP.

[Jezen]

Sonor, DW, Yamaha, Pearl...

Bah I dunno. There are loads of great kits around.

[Janeway]

One of those fancy solid shelled ones.

[Jezen]

We made a solid shell female pleasure toy once, but the dog ate it.

[DuckinFutch8]

That Sonor Set that Damo posted a while back, from some convention...

Pure Sex

[Plan B.]

I'd buy...

probably some flashy custom UDrum kit.

[Janeway]

I don't get it, BB.

[santi3hg]

umm custom companies id go with OCDP, Ayotte, Truth, and BIB(new company somewhat using keller shells, played a kit very much like its feel.)

[Jezen]

I don't get it, BB.

There was no joke..

We made a solid wood dildo. It was very very smooth, but then the dog ate it.

[ThugsRook]

What set would you buy for like recording/touring?.
id have my manager send out endorsement request packages to various companies, and would prolly take on anyone willing to sponsor me.

local store sponsorships can also be worth wild.

:chug:

[spirit]

Sonor, Brady. I mean if any other company offered me free drums, I might do that, but I'd probably go Sonor or Brady out of choice. Maybe Jalapeno.

[SparBZ]

I'd keep my Taye StudioMaple Custom.

[Janeway]

A wood dildo seems extremely unpleasent.

[Kainen]

^ 15 coats of laquer would do it, I could only assume.

[Janeway]

Yeah, but it's not flexible enough.

[SparBZ]

I'm not a female, I can't judge that.

But a bunch of laquer would make that baby slide and shine xD

[Carn]

its funny that all you guys want some "exotic" kit while every "pro" drummer usually plays on quite normal (altough high end) sets..

[SkaRabbit]

Vibrators > Dildos i have been told

[Janeway]

It all depends on the girl.
Some are total vibration wusses.

[SparBZ]

I've rarely seen a pro drummer play on an exotic kit.

[SkaRabbit]

Hmm i would rther have pro cymbals than a pro kit.

Do people actualy buy anal beads?

[TravisBarkerrules]

I would have to hit up C&C basically my dream drums.

[SparBZ]

Istanbul Agops are my Pro Cymbals <333

And I don't think so.

That's 'cause they're playing speaks for themselves.

I need that flash of my kit!

[LoneStarDrummer]

i'd go with exports or 5 gallon tide detergant buckets.

[SparBZ]

Exports? Man, for touring I'd go with Master Series :D

[Berk]

Ok I changed my mind.
I would go with C&C, MoonDrum, PorkPie or Noble and Cooley.

[dumbassdrummer]

"Do people actualy buy anal beads?"

that's why they make them, smarty.

As for the drums - I'd probably go with Yamaha or DW. I'd only consider a custom shop if they made me four dirrente kits with a bunch of crazy extras all for free. If they did that, I'd been with a custom shop for sure.

[serenityNOW]

definently truth custom drums with all sabians

[Seafroggys]

I would get either exotic wood DW or a custom OCDP.

i'd get a set of my own personal groupies

Its a waste. Firstly, the kit would get wrecked and secondly, most touring drummers dont bring their kits with them - They hire or get sponsored in whichever town theyre playing in.

Most threads are.

[MagicMedicine]

I would go Pearl for sure, But I would even be happen with Sessions, the shells are maple or birch, and the hardware on them is still great.

[Internet.]

Yamaha Maple Custom... or Birch... or beech or oak, one of 'em
or Sonor Delite
or DW
or... yea one of those.

[CasB]

Any brand would do, except for Pearl, Tama and Yamaha.
I'd prefer Peace (paragon) or Premier (premier).
Cymbals: No Zildjian, Paiste or Sabian.

[Aaron]

Cymbals:
17, 18, 19, 20" A custom crashes
12" z custom splash

16" K brilliant crash
8, 10, 12" K splashes

when you're pro, you wont mix-n-match brands.

[Carn]

actually, alot of professional/recording drummers use whatever they want in the studio. There is no reason to stick to your "endorsed cymbals" if you might have an other brand which sounds better in a certain situation.

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

your sponsers wont like you for very long.

Touring -
I'd love a Sonor/DW/Mapex high end kit with either pearl/dw hardware and a black panther snare. A sponsership from Paiste/Zildjian/Sabian would be awesome, they are all great companies. Roland V Drums for my electronics.

Home -
A DW Exotic kit and a huge cymbal library

[Carn]

thats nonsense. As long as you endorse and promote the manufacturers product in public. Its impossible to say "you can only use our gear or else find a new endorser".

[CasB]

Lars Ulrich used Sabian hihats on the St. Anger album.

[Carn]

Thats an example. He also used Gretsch floortoms on the black album.

[ian1988]

[Bonham#1!]

Pearl SMX Session Maple.

Maybe.

[Chrysler]

I would get my friend to custom make me one. He's never made a kit, but hes mad with wood. Infact, I might just ask him anyway, if I paid for the supplies and stuff.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

[spike9908]

Anything high-end. Probably not exotic veneer.

My top choices would be a custom Global segmented kit, not positive on the wood, Mapex Saturn, Sonor Delite/S class.

[Berk]

Lars Ulrich used Sabian hihats on the St. Anger album.
Yeah I saw that part when he was recording that solo thingy for Sweet Amber.

[rockindrummer]

I'd buy a yamaha for sure. Amazing kits, I've always wanted one.

[Berk]

I HATE yamaha tom mounts. High end kits should always have suspended tom mounts.

[spike9908]

I HATE yamaha tom mounts. High end kits should always have suspended tom mounts.

Suspended mounts aren't as great as they seem. They increase the risk of a lot of complications in the shells and hardware. Yamaha's YESS mounts are one of the best mounts on the market.

[mamcdonald]

^ Agreed. YESS mounts, although they don't "suspend" the drum still leave huge amounts of resonance and are one of the most ingenious designs ever created by the Yamaha team.

[Quinto]

saturn bop set up. my dream set up. with some nice k's and an iron cobra. drool

^^to post above im just curious why you would want tons of resonance. resonance is bad in recordings, and miced situations,and can actually make all the drums blend together, leaving the drums not as well heard. also you dont want a drum to sustain for very long. resonance is not really needed enough to cover a beautiful drum with mounting stuff and hide it. unless your going for a powerful tom hit that lasts for a couple of beats, and is a powerful part of the music resonance is not really a necestiy

[PandaDrummer]

id get a set from truth drums

[rockindrummer]

I HATE yamaha tom mounts. High end kits should always have suspended tom mounts.

The yamaha mounts are one of the best mounts out, plain and simple. They are extremely compact and low key yet they are very strong and super stable. Josiah vouches for them like crazy. He's had his yammies for years and hasn't had any problems with them.

[Chippy569]

If i got a record deal... i'd really quick run onto MX to tell everyone.

[sean2332]

i would buy a Peal Masters Maple, unless they wanted to sponsor me and give me the drums for free..... actually probably a Pearl SMX, close enough to a Masters without the massive price tag
