Why buying an 8pc > buying a 4pc

[Chippy569]

well simply, because you can do everything with it. Observe.

Here's what it looks like as an 8pc, with a rack.

[chewaz]

[Chippy569]

But maybe i don't want to bring 2 kicks.... well why not whip out the dbl pedal for something like this?

The possibilities are only as endless as your imagination.

[Mista Bob]

Yeah, thats why I plan on buying a 8piece when I get my next kit.

Very sexy kit by the way. :amaze:

[Chippy569]

hahaha jerk :p


On kicks, i have SuperKick1 batters (they're godly, the sk2's suck life out of kicks) over Regulators (with logos by Dave of Fender Custom Vinyl)
On toms, i have Responce2's (clear) over video gloss black classics
and on snare, i have a Remo CS over something... but it'll be a coated classic w/dot over a classic snareside.


ty man :D

[Permanent Solution]

I agree. Better to have it all off the bat and then if you only want to bring some parts of it you can. You can't bring more than you have though.

:O hey how do tune your tom's? i got rsp 2 over classic, but the batters are a year old, my floor tom, it's almost untuneable i think i'm gettig the coateds

[Chippy569]

honestly, next time i'm classics on top... but yeah i tune 'em medium tight over slightly tighter medium tight, bout 1.5 turns past finger tight i think.

[Josiah]

Awesome kit!!


I agree and have always held the same view as Chippy. Buy a bigger kit, and use what you want. I have a massive kit, if setup fully. It never it is. The choices though make for some astounding possibilities...

[Chippy569]

i wanna do some reallly weird setups but i don't have the right hardware, i need more of those multiclamp thingies!

[Parradiddle Pete]

http://www.inkinc.hostedz.com/images/drums/NewKit/Front/Front9.jpg

And YOU tell ME to burn in hell?

[Chippy569]

hey, i'll trade ya the studio for the kit.

[Parradiddle Pete]

You know what...



I would, but for 3 things:
I can't play double bass
Black kits just dont do it for me any more
LEFT SIDE RIDE??? No WAY could I play that!

:)

[Chippy569]

the ride is on a stand, you can pick it up and move it :p

[Parradiddle Pete]

Just shut up ok?



:p

[Pleaseme]

Now there's a kit I wouldn't mind bumping into in a dark ally. And yes I completely agree with the setup creativity that arises from having a large kit, it's great!

[Chippy569]

Just shut up ok?



:p
you know what, we should tag team. i should move into your place, and move my drums into the studio, and use my mad studio knowledge to record your family's musical extravaganzas and other bursts of creativity.

[Parradiddle Pete]

Yea, but...Aren't you a little bit in minnesota? And I'm in sunny rugeley (well, near enough)

You on MSN Chipster? I just had a great idea.

[Chippy569]

yeah, chippy4569@hotmail.com

[Parradiddle Pete]

Awesome

[Chippy569]

we should do it.

[Parradiddle Pete]

But chippy...We barely know each other, and not in front of all these people

:naughty:

[Chippy569]

well i was thinking the map idea, but hey i'm game for your idea too!

[ant_182]

Yeh, I see your point. But I dont need all of those drums! So for me its a waste of money! But I deffo see your point.


-Ant-

[Parradiddle Pete]

well i was thinking the map idea, but hey i'm game for your idea too!
Yea, that map can be our little brain child, just a case of finding one now.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

What about me? Now I gotta go cry in a corner!

haha. I never really though about the possibilities of big kits. I just always use what I have and it comes out big. Even when I try a 4 piece, it still comes out with me using 2 timbales and everything.

[Zildjian]

awesome I got a 8 piece kit and i only use 6 ( I never used my 10" tom). And yea your kit is sexy as always (every set up)

[Electric Requiem]

Im gettin me a six piece on wednesday, I cant wait (currently have my kit set up as a 4 piece).

[Chippy569]

taye right? that's gonna kickass!

[Electric Requiem]

taye right? that's gonna kickass!
Its coming with a full set of soft cases, a few stands, a good pearl hihat one, some crappy sabian cymbals, 13" sabian handhammered hats, all new heads, and a single IC pedal. I cant wait.

[crazyguy832]

Well, when I buy my Sonor 3005 (I'm hoping next summer) I'll be getting a 7-piece. I think that's enough for me, I've never really liked two bass drums.

:p

[Electric Requiem]

I dont have room for double bass, so Ill just stick with single.

[Ill Mitch]

I've always been of that same mentality, but I don't think i'll ever go with two equally sized bass drums.

[crazyguy832]

^^^
Ditto.

I'm probably going to go with a regular bass and then a larger gong bass if I ever go with two bass drums.

:thumb:

[Ill Mitch]

Yeah, opposite for me. Regular bass and a smaller jazz bass.

[Electric Requiem]

Yeah, opposite for me. Regular bass and a smaller jazz bass.
Maybe regular bass and jungle bass for me.

[crazyguy832]

Yeah, opposite for me. Regular bass and a smaller jazz bass.
Eh, well, I tune my bass high like a tom anyways. I like getting a decent boom with a thump behind it.

:p

[Sponer]

Well, duh. More drums are better. Gives you more options. :)

[crazyguy832]

Some people feel as though anything more than a 4 piece makes you lazy and you stop being creative, though.

:rolleyes:

[Electric Requiem]

having the four piece has really improved my use of dynamics in tom grooves, but now I cant wait for my six piece

[othankheavenfor311]

is this where the MXDP map was first shared?

[Sean]

Some people feel as though anything more than a 4 piece makes you lazy and you stop being creative, though.

:rolleyes:I've been playing one for so long that I feel restricted, and my creativity has gone down the drain. 4-pieces are only good to an extent, IMO. That's why I'm getting a 6 or 7 piece for my next one.

Nice kit as always, chippy

[Daven]

I love you kit's finish man.

[Brokensticks]

Looks beautiful. I am getting 2 more toms. Right now im at 12 13 16 toms but i want 10 12 14 16 set-up. Don't know if I should e bay my 13 or keep it.

[Sean]

Keep it, if you sell it anddecide you want more toms then you won't have one.

[Chippy569]

keep it- selling it with the others will give you better resale anyway.

[Jezen]

But maybe i don't want to bring 2 kicks.... well why not whip out the dbl pedal for something like this?

I see no double pedal...

[Chippy569]

I see no double pedal...
the pacific is a double pedal :P
it was either you or phil that made fun of it when i put pics up right after the kick came

[Jezen]

That was Phil. I remember him wondering why you have a double pedal set up with 2 bass drums. :p

[Chippy569]

hehey! isn't it cool when you can answer your own questions? :D

[TormentorScott]

I'm a fan of the 5-piece: one rack and two floor.
I just love having my ride right there!

[Electric Requiem]

having my toms closer together seems like a much bigger plus for me right now
