What would you buy (drumwise) with $100

[SparBZ]

I have a $100 giftcard. It's been a good year since I've bought new gear.

Enlighten me, or at least idea me.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

What do you need?

[ant_182]

Specs on your kit.

[SparBZ]

The setup I use on a day-to-day basis:

Mapex Pro-M in 18x14, 12x9, 14x14. Black Panther Maple Snare.

20" Istanbul Vezir Ride
18" Istanbul Mel Lewis Crash Ride
17" Istanbul Dark Crash
16" Istanbul Traditional Medium Crash
13" K Zildjian Dark Hats

Yammy Flying Dragon Double-Chained Single Pedal.
Remo Fyberskin Heads (Batter and Reso)

And I play mostly jazz, but I'm working on my rock, funk and latin.

[-TGP-]

Your a jazz guy, correct?

[edit]
Woooo

Buy a zilbel and work on your XMETALCOREX chops, ya

BREAKDOWN CHUG CHUG CHUGGA CHUGGGG

In all seriousness, why not invest in some wicked sticks, brushes, mallets, etc? A Jam block perhaps?

[SparBZ]

Hah, missed my post by like 10 seconds mate.

[Mr Pink]

You play jazz...buy $100 in weed.

[SparBZ]

It's a giftcard, no dealer's gonna take that.

You never know.:)

Do you have good iso headphones/ear plugs? Batter heads, kick beater, sticks, wool cap, pocket vagin@.....

[iamjoe2]

lessons/instructional books/dvd's

[fishbulb]

You need some 2002's.

[Retarded Chipple]

Lol yeah, they'd compliment his Istanbuls perfectly.

[Harrow]

Your kit is missing a nice dark sounding splash buddy, those usually run around $100.

[SparBZ]

I've got a 10" Istanbul Traditional Splash but I don't really like it that much. Sounds more like an Asian Gong.

You seize to amaze me...

[Sponer]

actually...


but, I'd agree with the iso-phones. If I had $100 right now, I actually would probably do that. I want to get some good iso-headphones/earphones soon.

cease.


use the giftcard to get new snare heads. you can never have enough.

or trade it to marco benevento for sex. im sure he could put it towards a new keyboard or something.
thats what i'd do. (sex w/ marco)

[SparBZ]

I saw Tony (his father) the other day. Marco's doing well.

I think I'm gonna buy all new heads and some sticks.

Opinions? I was gonna go for Aquarian Performance IIs on the toms, Remo Power Stroke 3 or 4 on bass, and an Aquarian New Orleans snare head.

[iamjoe2]

likin the snare head choice(never even heard of it, but i like it already..) performance IIs are good for rock, not so much for jazz i think,

id go withha a evans ec2 or aquarian powerstroke on the kick though...

[crazyguy832]

Honestly... splash.

11" K Custom hybrid = awesome

[-TGP-]

cease.




blah blah blah
i knew i got it wrong but really didnt wanna put effort into looking for the proper spelling.

[Mirror.Circuit]

Performance II's =/= Jazz

[Obelisk]

It's a giftcard, no dealer's gonna take that.

Sell it for $80 on craigslist - then post an ad looking for $80 worth off weed...

Sticks, heads etc. anything you hate having to pay for when it's time to repalce.

[AdultSwim815]

I'd get isoheadphones and a new bass batter head, but that's just me.

[Motleyguy]

I agree, isophones are always good. Allow you to practice along, and save your hearing, which is most important.

[SparBZ]

I have the Drummer's Custom Earplugs and the Vic Firth phones. I don't need another pair.

I'm probably just going to go to the store, play all the heads blindfolded and pick which ones I like the best.

How's your reso situation also?

[GooseFilms.net]

i dont know how quickly you go through sticks, but if you go through at least a pair a month, id say just put it towards a brick of sticks. buy in bulk, makes em cheaper in the long run.

[_Wrathchild_]

I'm in basically the same situation. I got a $100 dollar gift card for a music store for my birthday, but I'm pretty happy with my setup right now and can't think of any drum stuff I really need. I think I may buy some drum heads and maybe sticks and stuff like that. I'd like to try some new heads, as the only heads I've ever used on this set have been coated and clear ambs.

I'd say its a pretty good time to get new heads if you don't need anything else. If your resos are ancient, you might wanna think about picking some of those up, as they are important but not usually a priority for people so they get neglected.

[keaton_86]

I know its lame, but seriously, a metronome. I recently got one and my playing has improved tenfold.

[Harrow]

I believe he already has one...

[MonorailCat]

I'd pick up a lot of heads. It's such a nusiance going out and buying them.

[The Feeding]

$100...right now i could pick up a new EMAD kick head. Emperor X snare head...maybe a new stick bag, new bass drum beaters and some new Vic Firth 5B's. Maybe that's more than $100...oh well
