1. Putfile.com could work. (http://www.putfile.com/)

2. Can videos not be transfered from one program to another?

Well, if it's that much trouble don't worry about it then, thanks anyways!

Wow, I wonder how they got the finish to shift colors like that. That's incredible.

07-01-2006, 11:58 AM

I think it either, that paint that changes colour and its 2 layers off lights or something like that.

Oh and heres the video for dmonkey http://media.putfile.com/Chad-Smith-Kit

Its not the full thing but you get most of it, dont know why it only done half:confused:

"OMG I IZ LYK PLAYIN DA ONLY BE4T AH KNOW ON DA JOEY JORDISON KIT WID MAH AHEADS AND BAD TOM ANGLES I IZ LYK DA BESTEST DRUMMA EVAH!!!!!! MA BLAST BEAT IS LYK DA BEST"

Can I just say something, Joey Jordison isn't a bad drummer, his fans suck though... It just gets old having people go "I'm better than Joey Jordison, he sucks" when he is a much better drummer than over half of the D & P community. There I'm done.

I think chad has accomplished making another amazing looking kit. And that joey jordinson kit, i thought it was bad enough when they made a snare.

There is a video of it blinking when he hits it let me get the link

it's a product called Ceelite, which is essentially a bunch of mini mini LED's in a rollable, flexable, plyable, cuttable, glueable sheet. TMD customs was the first to offer drums wrapped in Ceelite - pearl bought the rights from TMD.

so wait, most ppl here hate the joey kit, but like a kit that changes colours? I swear this joey bashing is getting so old. almost every freakin thread turns out this way.

Come on guys, you didnt know about this? They played on SNL about a month ago...you guys have to visit PDF more often.

pitchfork

07-02-2006, 04:43 AM

Look at the users on PDF about 90% f them have joey, jordison or slipknot in their name.

Its a kit for n00b's who are **** at drums and think buying a rip off kit will make them a good drummer.

Chad's kit is officially awesome though.

The picture above shows the Prototype kit which has been disigned and developed for Chad Smith of the Chilli peppers. Everyone who visyed the stand looked above for lighting affects, but in truth all the magic takes place within the shell!

http://www.pearleurope.com/mediafiles/images/uploaded/707_kit_chad_p4_540.jpg
The light sensors within the shell can be triggered so that when you strike the drum it light's up or it can be set to pulse…which ever rocks your world.
Once this has been road tested we may see them being available worldwide!!!!
Check out the Chilli Peppers World tour to see it in action.

I hate to be the negative nancy....

I'm just sayin', if Joey's kit lit up, you'd be trashing it.

Not that I really like JJ or that I dislike Chad Smith,.

It just looks like a black export to me.

And the chad smith idea, well as funny as it sounds, just why?

Yeah this is what Pete n I were saying, it's a real wicket kit.

Won't be long until everyone will know about this, soon everyone will have a kit which can flash, all singing all dancing.

Pearl gets WAY to much hype from just about everyone.

Drum Monkey

07-02-2006, 06:04 PM

The thing with Pearl is it's the name. People spend $1,000 on an Export because of the pretty finish and the Pearl on the bass drum and badges, that's the problem. Their high end stuff is great, and the reason why everyone got excited about this kit is because like me they've never seen it before.

Also, who cares which drummer's kit it is? I like Jordison's kit, perfect for what he plays!

Theres a custom company that offers this for their drums.

Parradiddle Pete

07-03-2006, 02:07 AM

They're called TMD customs.

For the record, I saw the chili peppers last night. The kit sounded amazing and was very good to look at. I think they were having problems with it, the first floor tom wasn't lighting up at some points. During the slower songs or the ones without much drums (JF's cover of 'how deep is your love?') the kit was set to just be lit up, and the rest of the stage dark. It was a very very cool effect. I love the ceelite stuff, its amazing.

RichHunt

07-03-2006, 02:30 AM

There's a video off, I think it was the TMD site, with a guy playing a blue snare.

Man, he's got some nice grooves. I just wanted to watch him play, screw the snare.

To this i say: Does anyone here buy labelled clothes?

Do you need to shell out the extra money? No, but you do anyway.

Well actually, my favourite tops are Tesco Value. :lol: £1.75 s/sleeve £4.00 l/sleeve. Bargain! Also you can just put your own designs on them or leave them blank! Although I do own "labels" mainly "animal". But "T K Max" is an amazing shop for people who refuse to pay stupid prices!......me!

Vannaroth

Chad's kit has been tastefully done, as in its not blindingly bright or flashy, its just a nice clean colour change. I like it.

yeah.
it doesn't change rapidly,which is nice.
it's high tech and classy at the same time.

So how does that thing get the power to light up? I don't see any wires or anything.. Is there like a battery pack on the drums? Or maybe it's magic.

i think of seen pics of things that resemble triggers on the bottoms of the drums that set the lights off, but i'm not 100% sure that's how they do it
