[quote=lee_drummer89]I have been palying drums now for 2 years and am still using my first kit which is a pearl forum. i am in a band and everything is going well but i am about to purchase some new cymbals (20" ride, 16" and 14" crashes, 8 and 10" splashes and 13" hi-hats) i have decided on which cymbals i am goin to buy but only currently have a hi hat stand and one boom cymbal stand which came with my kit and want to know what hardware i need which will fit my kit and which hold my new cymbals.

Help much appreciated.

Get a boom stand for each and a cymbal arm for each splash and maybe even the 14" crash...if you wanna push it you can get one for the 16" too...it'll save you tons of money and can still give you a great setup without all those stupid legs goin everywhere

Get a double, because if you want to sometimes just play with one pedal, you can disconnect the pedals, but if you buy a single, you can't play double if you started wanting to. Double pedal is much more efficient.

Besides it doesnt take up much room anyway.

Yeah really, it's not like you're adding another bass drum to your kit. Then it would be a lot more to think about... really, the only thing to ask yourself is if it's worth saving up for a professional one.

i wins for bumping.

quoted post is epic.


where does his snare go??!!

I'm gonna agree that this read is redundant... Get what you want. Personally, I have a double pedal, but never use the slave. I play all single pedal most of the time. However, it's nice to have when I'm jamming with some of my buddies who play metal.

EDIT:
... just realized how old this is. God damn, I really gotta start paying attention to this stuff. No wonder I didn't recognize anyone who posted in this...

just don't go 20 pages back and you should be fine

Double means trouble.
Singles eat Pringles.


wtf ?

You can take the slave pedal of, remove one beater and you'll have a simple single pedal.

With that in mind, if money is not a problem, buy a double. It's just another technique to learn and a skill to develop. Learning new things can never be bad.
