Be Bop Setup

[White Riot!]

The kits actually for all types of music ; thus the EMAD Batter ; so I can change the bass drum sound from jazzy to rocky to funky.

What'dya think?

Jarrah / Maple kick drum for a warmer , rounder Jarrah sound.

6ply 5.5mm Cross Ply Shells (not like bradys straight seam , so its going to sound more toneful/sweet/mellow but less present as brady's)

Gretsch Style Rounded Edges

[Aaron]

Lovely. A lefty that likes Paul's work with Jarrah. What can I say?

Is that an 18x16" or x14"?

[White Riot!]

16" deep.

Oh yeah......... did I mention it's going to be a satin Figured Sapele Pomelle veneer? :naughty:


basically im thinking steal the gretsch bearing edges and thin shells then mix it with jarrah , and throw in a some maple to the kick for warmth

try to get that perfect bass drum sound by pushing the fat maple kick sound up a tad with mids and high qualities from Jarrah to get rid of muddyness

we will see how the experiment goes!

[Aaron]

sounds purdy. I hope its not having mounts drilled into it!!

[PandaDrummer]

thats my setup, not really be-bop ish in my mind

[Drum Monkey]

Nice set-up. That'll be your main kit?

Niiiiiice. Who's going to making that? Did I miss the memo?

[Quinto]

thats what my next setup is gonna be, in about 3 years, saturn

[Chippy569]

mixing your woods will mean next to ****, really your heads/tuning mean the most.
and that snare's a titch big, try 13"?


otherwise looks great! :)

[Quinto]

no thats a good size^

[Black Rose Immortal]

i agree go with the 13 inch snare and get a deep one i love those things to death. really nice crack sound.

[Aaron]

I think the 14" will be good for the Jarrah, give it body to enhance the wood's characteristics.

Pricisely.

Lol.

[Aaron]

I say that because Jarrah isn't a very clear toned wood. It's pretty complex and woody.

Why is it not be-boppy?
Be-bop kit checklist
[X]Small 18" Bass Drum
[X]Two Toms
[X]Nice Ride
[X]Turkish style crash

what more could you want?

Yes ; jarrahs more of a sound with a pushed mid higher register , but I would say its more present than say maple ;

Yes and no in a sense. Thin shells = more character of the shells tone imparting on your sound.

13" inches arent so good for what I want. 14 X 5.5 Good Crack & Great Body = lovely sound. not too naughty not too nice!

[some jive turkey]

sounds cool size-wise.
.................
nice ride cymbal.

[White Riot!]

I hand picked it from three different HHX groove rides. One was a bit of a dud compared to the other two and this one was the best! :)

Its sex on a stick! :naughty:

[VTDS_xx]

More like sex under a stick.
Nice setup though.
What brand of kit?

[White Riot!]

Paul Warrys Custom Shells (AKA Metro).They are completely Hand made shells

[GhostNote]

Nice! Good choice with the jarrah, lovely wood. Tight setup, mine's the same just birch and lack of cymbals.

well fix your mind. That's the classic bebop setup... learn your history son.

[White Riot!]
