really how do you do that to AAX's A customs and pargons?

[Brandwhore]

hahaha yea i see those on ebay all the time. I saw those ZBTs today for $.99

breaks my heart when theres a K custom ride or A custom china shattered to pieces. Who does this and also, WHO THE HELL BUYS THESE??? i guess you can melt them down into something cool, like a metal cow

[stevensonmat2]

Those last three brought tears to my eyes. Talk about a mark of the times, noobs galore.

[Zildjian]

All those pics are kinda sad but the A custom is heart braking....I feel so bad :(

[MeaninglessPhoto]

I can understand the AAX and the A Custom because they are a bit thinner. But the ****ing Paragon? :eek: Those should last a ****ing century.

[stevensonmat2]

I smell wide spread ahead usage.

More like playing with the metal part of the Ahead instead of the rubber.

[drummingducktape]

yea really travis barker wannabes. my friend is really good at quads and when i went over to his houe the other day it was so disapointing. he had a few cracks in his xs20's but he had them very high up and very flat. it is very distroting(sp?)

[DillingerEscp]

This has to be more illegal than snuff films.

learn some basic comprehension skills you little turd. I said him playing in blink 182 , and acting like a retard , setting a bad example to impressionable young kids by setting up his drums in a way that is damaging to cymbals , and playing a drum style that is reliant upon soley speed to impress.

there is NO chance those pop punk kids are ever going to appreciate a good groove until they snap out of idolising and overating the genre

learn some basic comprehension , you anus invader :smash:

I would give any other drummer (regardless of ability to groove etc) the same flak if they were overated and setting a bad example such as travis does.

[Drum Phil]

Barker was an EXCELLENT drummer with The Aquabats.

Yes, because we all know that when a drummer is overrated, it's his fault.

Curious. Very curious.

EDIT: Back on topic...

Christ that's awful. No further comments.

Haha amen to that. Guys this has been done like a thousand times. When will it stop. Yes, hes overrated. We all know that.

[Maggot Dream]

I think part of it is that he's using Sigs, but yeah, that guy destroys his cymbals. I've heard that he has to cycle out some of his crashes in the middle of shows.

[Half Life]

I'm guessing that the one kid someone posted a video of from youtube playing a "solo" broke all of those. I guess he's so amazingly talented the cymbals couldn't handle his awesomeness and spontaneously combusted :rolleyes:

First paragraph is opinion. Maybe that's how he likes them? How do you know he breaks cymbals? Have you talked to him and asked him about it? And to be honest...his drumming fits quite well with blink...

second paragraph: listen to the audio...yeah...a good groove. And they appreciate because it's from him. I agree that he shouldnt be idolised but don't talk smack about him when he's not the one idolising himself.

Ooooh...anus invader...you think up that one yourself? or did your mommy help you?

Since when does being over-rated have anything to do with the drummer?

[MXicanDrummer]

People are getting bashed worse than those cymbals in here.


But seriously how?
*in regards to cymbals*

[White Rabbit]

his drumming fits quite well with blink...

Blink 182 is the lamest and most immature pop punk band. But we aren't here to talk about that.

How do you know he breaks cymbals?

Flat cymbals = Breakage. Simple as that. EVERY CYMBAL MANUFACTURER strongly advises people to tilt the cymbals towards them and not have them flat.

Haha amen to that. Guys this has been done like a thousand times. When will it stop. Yes, hes overrated. We all know that.

Im not concerned with that in this thread.....what I was talking about is how he , being an inspiration to retards who like blink 182 sets a bad example to break your cymbals--- thus I call these noobs travis barker wannabes:smash:

you STILL dont get it you dumb piece of dog turd. They dont appreciate that because of him. The noobs are into gay *** pop punk , they appreciate him because of his fast playing in a super commercial band.

travis plays on a flat cymbal setup - the kids who are impressionable will copy his bad example.

Yes, because we all know that when a drummer is overrated, it's his fault.

How about endorsing every crap lame product he can manage to? cymbals he doesnt use? mics he wouldnt use in the studio? How about playing in a pop punk band with lyrics and music aimed at young girls? how about running around naked in video film clips? :rolleyes: how about having a show on mtv?

[Maggot Dream]

Oh, you true rocker, you.

Guess what? Music isn't objective. People view it in different ways. What you may not enjoy, others may love. Saying they're a bad band because they're commerciallized is incredibly ignorant. Some of the best bands of all time enjoyed huge commercial, mainstream success. Whether or not Blink 182 is better or worse than those bands is irrelevant, because it's subjective, and not quantifiable.

Please take your elitism elsewhere.

[drummguy731]

i bet those people were hitting as hard as they could with a direct horizantal blow to the outside rim, whoever i was talkin to about what hitting directly on the outside rim of the cymbal, this is what happens. i cry over that A custom

thats a fricking ride!

[Maggot Dream]

I like how they say, "This item appears to be worn or cracked."

[stevensonmat2]

I would buy one, just cut down the edges a few inches itll be like a good small one, except for some of them, some of those are straight ****ed.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

thats a fricking ride!
A Medium ride though. Medium rides=Crashable.

[ofDooM]

occasionally i crash my 22" heavy Z.

i dont even think a bullet can stop that thing.

[stevensonmat2]

meh, my medium a custom ride isnt very crashable, its to solid.

[Electric Requiem]

haha thats what i was thinking of when i posted it.
sally struthers would eat all the cymbals thinking they were foil wrapped chocolate (naturally her fingers are not very dextrous because of the amount of fat on them, so she never bothers to take the foil off)

[MeaninglessPhoto]

My ping ride is actually crashable now. It gets polished all the time and it gets played a lot so it got a lot thinner. Its pretty much a medium ride with Ping written on it.

[ofDooM]

ive got an 18" Vintage Avedis Zildjian on the left of my kit, and thats used as a crash/ride. awsome ride though, very dark and washy. nice bell too.

vintage baby.

to beat a dead horse...

flat cymbals = breakage... tell that to about every popular or good rock/punk drummer. are you going to say that Atom Willard sucks because he plays flat cymbals, or Eric Sandlin, or Derrick Plourde (RIP)? These guys are masters. Chad Wakerman Plays a couple of flat cymbals. Jojo Mayer has flat cymbals. Set-Up can't define the occurance of breaking cymbals; teqnique can... and most pro drummers have good-enough teqnique to hit thier drums and cymbals properly. Look at Barker: glancing blows on the body, not solid shanks on the edge.

The noobs are into gay *** pop punk , they appreciate him because of his fast playing in a super commercial band.

Well, that makes pennywise a bunch of gay-assed noobs, then. Who was the first band pennywise took on tour with them? Who did pennywise praise for thier work on the untitled CD?

almost every pro drummer endorses product they don't use. I don't see Kenny Arnoff usin audix mics, but he's in a couple of older audix ads. Same with Zoro-he uses seinheiser.

And about no0bs, youve been here for what, 1 month?

[pitchfork]

That is ****ing disgusting, those drummers should be lined up and have a table leg put in their eye and then have it stomped on just enough so they aren't dead and they are in agonsizing pain and then tortured horrible and having their bollocks chewed off by a single chinchilla with blunt teeth.

occasionally i crash my 22" heavy Z.

i dont even think a bullet can stop that thing.
Well its heavy so its very prone to cracking, though z zildjian is amazing.

[ofDooM]

i dont hit nearly as hard as it would take to break it. any harder and it would kill my ears.

[HeLLmO]

i'm gettin' a Byzance Medium crash and that thing is pretty crashable, and the actual bow and bell sound good too

[HeLLmO]

Barker was an EXCELLENT drummer with The Aquabats.


damn straight he was. what was his name back then? Baron Von something or another

Baron Von Tito.

However ricky fitness is still pretty good.

[HeLLmO]

yea, i dig ricky's kit, it looks cool, and it's made by my local boyz at SJC

[Quinto]

my ping ride is very crashable, i love my set up, i just need a 17" 2002 crash, and an 18" giant beat crash ride and ill be all set.

i like barkers drumming, he plays for the music, and he has some nice single strokes.

[Drum Phil]

yea, i dig ricky's kit, it looks cool, and it's made by my local boyz at SJC

He's pretty cool live. He played a solo

[HeLLmO]

cool, the aquabats are a really funny band

I don't see what any of that has to do with people overrating his ability as a drummer.

1. So he endorses products. He isn't the only one. Endorsements means promotion for himself (and therefore the band).

2. Playing in a "pop punk" band with "lyrics and music aimed at young girls" doesn't really mean he's making himself overrated as a drummer, or even as a person, does it? Clearly, to talk down on a position like drumming for Blink 182 you must've had many better experiences, care to share?

3. Running around naked in video clips doesn't at all mean he's making himself overrated as a drummer. And neither does having a show on MTV.

Why even argue my quote if you can't state anything relevant or intelligent to the contrary?

I sorta agree with you. Meinl does make some quality things. But Paiste still beats them

[ofDooM]

honestly i dont like what paiste offers now.

[White Rabbit]

Paiste offers any combination of bright , harsh and/or clean.

And thats about all they do.


I need cymbals with complex tones , trashy , earthyness , warmness , fatness and the like.

hahahahahahaha. yea, i meant ride, but hahaha

for me, i think there are only 2 paiste cymbals that will stand my test of time, the 20'' Novo China, and the 21'' Sig Dry Heavy Ride

[ofDooM]

i have 2 crashes.

16" Paiste Prototype. This thing explodes. Immensely bright, and cuts like a surgeon.

18" Vintage Avedis Zildjian. Incredibly mellow and dark. perfect for a washy ride, and perfect for a crash.

[Drum Phil]

I love 2002 thin crashes and novo chinas. And rude thin crashes. And rude rides.

Im gonna get a rude novo china custom hammered.

[ofDooM]

one of my friend 'accidentally' bought 15" rude hats.

on ebay, his password had some number, and he mistyped it into the bid. ironically he won the rude hats for about $350.

[HeLLmO]

and sig dark crisp hats and soundwaves are really amazing too

[Drum Phil]

And 15" sig soundedge hats

[HeLLmO]

i meant soundedge, i get soundedge and soundwave confused all the time

[Drum Phil]

Pwned.

[HeLLmO]

basically, yea

Those cymbals are sad, and White Rabbit knows nothing about pop punk.

Paiste is where its at, this is true.
