18" Sabian HHX Studio Crash, 14" Sabian B8 Hats, 10"? 502 Paiste Splash, 18" Camber(haha) Crash Ride, 20" Camber(haha) Ride.

[iplaybass9340]

how much for the HHX?

[White]

How much for the B8s. I need a cheap pair of hats

[VTDS_xx]

Nice kit.
PDP is awesome.

Set that HHX crash up.
Why wouldn't you use it?

[Maggot Dream]

Try raising your throne after you flatten your toms. I actually don't think your angles are bad except for the first pic, which is obviously old.

Nice kit. If the price is right, I might be interested in that HHX.

[Black Rose Immortal]

why don't u use the other hhx?

[Zildjian]

Don't be an idiot, put up that HHX back up. Thats a good cymbal

[White]

ya. what do you need money for??? lol

[osiecki]

You bitch.:angry:

that is soooo nice lol.

[MatthewMeredith]

Wow White.... nice double post.... And I second (or third or whatever) putting that HHX back up.... or giving it to me :)

How much are you asking for it?

[Maggot Dream]

I've never really liked the Raw Bell Dry Ride that much. The bow sounds great, but I've always thought the bell is kind of weak.

The awesome bell on my HH Rock Ride is part of why I love it so much.

[White]

What double post?. I don't see a double post *looks around slowly*. S*Sighs In Relife* haha. And ya, PUT IT UP!,PUT IT UP!, PUT IT UP!...............

[Josiah]

I'm short, bro.


How short? Most people don't sit up straight when they play. Get a large mirror and watchyourself to check that.

Posture is a HUGE difference in playing.

[White]

ya. When i started trying to play Straightup i felt a large difference.

[MatthewMeredith]

What double post?. I don't see a double post *looks around slowly*. S*Sighs In Relife* haha. And ya, PUT IT UP!,PUT IT UP!, PUT IT UP!...............


Woah man, my computer must really be ****ed haha.... anyways, I agree with what Josiah said about the mirror. I just recently moved my kit so that it's right beside my closet, which has huge mirror doors on it. Very, very helpful. :thumb:

[Bl4ck3n3D]

Your tom angles remind me of Lars Ulrich's

[Siamese Dreams]

Your tom angles remind me of Lars Ulrich's

Congrats.

[Siamese Dreams]

I didn't put it up because it's the exact same cymbal as the HHX that's already up there. And I need the money for a new ride. The angles look like ****....but the picture makes them look worse thn they really are. They work for me. Lemme hear some pirces for the cymbals and I'll consider. Oh, btw, the HHX is the best crash I've ever heard.

[GhostDrummer519]

I agree w/ him... not the greatest angles

But definatly GREAT potential of a SICK kit:thumb:

[Siamese Dreams]

So short that if I raise my throne anymore, my foot kind of barely touches the pedal, making it hard to control.

[Maggot Dream]

Threadstarter, how much for the HHX?

[FockerTheLopper]

Whats the condition of the crash?

[Siamese Dreams]

New, never played, perfect condition.

I take price offers.

[CombatWombat3]

What snares are you selling?

[rockindrummer]

Looks good man, I really liked the first setup you had though. I prefere that over the 4 piece.

[ian1988]

if you are 5'4 then you are the same height as me. Rasise your throne to about 24' and its nearly perfect for me. you are sitting right over your kit but still able to reach the pedals without and trouble

[Siamese Dreams]

24 feet?!

Goddamn...

Haha I know what you meant.

[ian1988]

I use metric from where i come from. so yeah. not to good with the ' and "

[crolfe1]

2 feet is about 66-67 centimeters :D

i hate u i o0nly got 302's

[crolfe1]

^^^ It's okay. We all have to start somewhere on the gear pyramid. A few pay checks and/or lawn jobs and a new ride or set of hi-hats becomes a reality. Especially with Ebay!

I don't wanna be some sort of rebel. But his high tom sort of looks like that.

and Papa Jo Jones's, And Max Roach's.

I don't understand, Maybe I'm missing something. But could someone please (Politely) Tell me the difference betwean his kit and these peoples kits?

Oh and Nice Kit.

[Drum Monkey]

The mounting system is very different. Also, his bass size. Another is probably the way they play. That tom angle may look bad to some in those pictures although no one has seen him play on the kit... That has a major effect on how things are set-up, how he plays, his height, arm length, leg length, etc.

Nice kit and cymbals :)

Thank you for answering me :lol:

[We_Love_Lime]

Wait I'm confused... You didn't understand me?

I just won't wait for the answer, whether you did or not.

You said all this stuff about all the factors that come into play when setting up the drums. How we've never seeen them play.

All we've seen of this guys kit is just his kit. Nothing else. We can't base all of our answers just on the information we are given can we? After all.. You did say it yourself did you not?

I'm not trying to be a smartass or anything. I just want people to see different sides other than the typical HOLY TOM ANGLES BATMAN.

Nor am I saying having bad tom angles are bad. My friend set up my set once, and he put the tom incredibly high, which greatly hindered my playing ability.

Thank You.

[Drum Monkey]

Thank You.
You're welcome :smash: :lol:

We were talking about different things there... A little bit of confusion :p

Yes the way people play isn't usually taken into consideration...

Lol Okay. Well don't I feel a bit foolish. My bad.

But regardless.. Just felt like saying it. Just so people could read it and think about it. And perhaps comment.

Sorry for the Hijack ts. Just felt like a good time.

Nice kit once again if that makes you feel anybetter ;).

Especially digging the finish.

I assume he plays trad considerin he played from the early 1900's and was a jazz drummer. Therefore his angle is justified

and Siamese Dreams's isn't?

I don't belive he mentioned what grip he used.

[Drum Phil]

His tom's angled toward him. Therefore you fail at the intarweb. :p

. If you're talking about the floor tom than allright.

I guess. * sighs *

Defeated by superior knowledge. I don't see how the floor tom would make a difference though.

High tom looks rather similar though..

But nevermind, this topic has gone on too long.

[Drum Phil]

I was referring to the rack tom. However that pic the bass drum looks rather large so the angle is again justified.
