I got shot right on the nose of the face mask, and it just spread all over it and i could't see where i was going.

I've decided i hate my kit. I feel like burning it. I don't know why. I just don't like it at the moment. It's a whores *** to tune the toms, and the position it's in just doesn't do it any justice. If i could have them facing outwards, i think i'd be much more satisfied, but the reverend (my mum) says i can't because it'll be too loud. Yeah right!

Who wants to buy a Tama rockstar custom in caramel fade. New evans EC2 batter heads, comes with free cowbell if you want it. Will throw in a premier 6000 double bass pedal for £60 extra

£425 O.N.O

Josiah 09-17-2006 02:11 PM

The Ec2's might be some of your issue's with getting a good sound...

Fair shout.

I might just go and buy some evans G1's for both batter and reso, slap em on and mess around

Or coated G2's. Do they make coated G1's?

ofDooM 09-17-2006 02:18 PM

yup, coated ones exist.

yeah, it was paintball rabbit. though a shot right in the adams apple mightve killed him.

Josiah 09-17-2006 02:22 PM

[SIZE=7]It's all about the 1 ply over 1 ply![/SIZE]

ludvista29 09-17-2006 02:29 PM

I'm gonna try Clear 1 ply over Coated 1 ply how do you think that will work?

maniac0796 09-17-2006 02:31 PM

for that sound you just can't beat!

Can anyone lay down the remo products? Because when someone says clear ambs or something, i ain't got a foggiest what they're on about.
So what are like, the remo equivalents to evans products?

ofDooM 09-17-2006 02:31 PM

coated for reso? have fun tuning.

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 02:31 PM

Pretty good Mike. I don't knw how it would sound, I think it would sound better than a coated snare reso.

Ergh, way to go Israel.
Thanks for breaking into Lebanese homes and pissing on their matresses.
If that wasn't bad enough you had to dump tuna on their floor.

Remo vs Evans
Ambassador vs G1 = 1 ply
Emporer vs G2 = 2 ply.

uhh Yeah.
Theres more Maniac, but I don't know them off the top of me head.

ludvista29 09-17-2006 02:31 PM

[QUOTE=ofDooM;13276905]coated for reso? have fun tuning.[/QUOTE]
actually It sounded nice.

ofDooM 09-17-2006 02:34 PM

i take it you get a nice attack, with that warm character?

maniac0796 09-17-2006 02:34 PM

cheers limey

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 02:35 PM

I can search others if you want.
But those are the typical I guess.

Looks like DBJ is back.

...in spirit

ludvista29 09-17-2006 02:38 PM

[QUOTE=ofDooM;13276927]i take it you get a nice attack, with that warm character?[/QUOTE]
yup, you should try it.

Berk 09-17-2006 02:38 PM

Mmm, g2 cranked tight on a cheap snare..Yum.

ofDooM 09-17-2006 02:40 PM

[QUOTE=ludvista29;13276954]yup, you should try it.[/QUOTE]

when my current heads die, ill try it.

im a fan of coated/clear.

maniac0796 09-17-2006 02:43 PM

I guess pinstripe is cross between EC2 and hydro's, without the oil

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 02:44 PM

I was thinking something similar yeah.

ofDooM 09-17-2006 02:48 PM

pins and hydros sound nearly the same.

ec2's are in a different..

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 02:49 PM

what are Ec2s than?

The Ec2s seem most like Pins, because they are both 2ply, and than have a ring on the ouside.

Hdyros are 2ply and have oil sandwiched betwean them.

If the Pins sound like Hydros, than that's stupid, and that's why Aquarian pwns.

Janeway 09-17-2006 02:49 PM

I'm bored. I went and hit the rotten tomatos out of our garden with a baseball bat. It was sadly fun, but now I'm covered in seeds and beetle pulp and have nothing to do.

I want to go practice my sax, but the felt under my A key fell off.

Josiah 09-17-2006 02:52 PM

Coated Amb or Clear Amb over Clear Amb will give you the most sound and biggest tuning range for any drum.

Not to mention the best sound!

maniac0796 09-17-2006 02:55 PM

Heh

I'll trust jos on this. I'll also ask my drum teacher about advice. It just seems a shame, because i brought these EC2's and ive only had em for about 2 weeks, but meh. Use em as back ups.

I think we should have a sub-forum where we talk about drum modifications. Like, refinishing drums and stuff. Like the bass and guitar forum have the lutherie or whatev...

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 02:56 PM

Yeah.
Josiah knows his stuff.

I plan on Getting Coated 1ply/ a Thinner 1ply.
Aquarian of course though.

Josiah 09-17-2006 03:03 PM

hehe i like to think I do.


I've gone through enough heads at this point!

maniac0796 09-17-2006 03:04 PM

whats your arvatar off lime, because it really scares me!

I might put that deforemed alien child off one of goosefilms movies on mine. It seems to scare the little welsh kid on these forums. The pure drummer or whatever.

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 03:04 PM

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain.

Pretty much the best CD ever invented on the face of the planet earth.

Josiah 09-17-2006 03:06 PM

Really? Well I'll d/l that and check it out!


You guys should check out the video the guy justposted in the 'advanced material' thread..

Gotta be some of the worst playing I've seen, and not worst as in bad notes, but the worst setup and funniest thing to watch.

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 03:07 PM

Yeah Josiah.

It's pretty sick.
Dennis Chamber drummed for them, but I doubt he did on this album.

I can't keep track of all the people who were in the band, everyday a new member died of drug OD.

I got it Zipped, so if You can't find it, I can send it to you via whatever.

Bone 09-17-2006 03:08 PM

Hello once again my sonts! It's been some time since I've enjoyed all your company of drum speak. Have the oats been flowing from the bowls and spoonts of my young drumming friends?

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 03:10 PM

No.

I'm eating Gingersnap Cookies.

maniac0796 09-17-2006 03:11 PM

We have hob nobs, possibly the best biscuits ever made by man, or mc vities

Bone 09-17-2006 03:11 PM

Big Powerful Strokes.

Do you play with them?

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 03:12 PM

My Gingernsap Cookies were homemade by my mother

so.
Yeah..
Can never top homeade cookies by your mom.


Do I play with Gingernsnap Cookies?
I've been known to have a couple in my mouth while doing some mean dbl bass roles.

maniac0796 09-17-2006 03:14 PM

Ohhh yeah!

We have some tesco "make your own" choc chip muffins. Made by my mum, or possibly my sister

maniac0796 09-17-2006 03:14 PM

Wow, BBc bitesize does have a use after all. It's taught me how to divide and multiply fractions!

We_Love_Lime 09-17-2006 03:19 PM

Too bad England doesn't have Peppridge Farm Goldfish.

And if you do.
That's awesome.

Because than you also have Cornish Pasties, and Sausage Bops which are awesome.
And cause stroke.

maniac0796 09-17-2006 03:29 PM

In other news today, i'm now an official windows vista tester. I tink i will be downloading it tommorow!
