lol you really don't know much do you?

I know what i've heard.

Poplar is decent enough for a low end kit, but its nothing special. Anyone who tries to beleive otherwise is misguided.

The new visions however, look impressive.

tell me that doesnt sound good.

You could make the cheapest drums possible sound good with enough EQing. That is obviously EQ'd.

Bad example.

lol...

The set sounds good. The set is poplar. I would record a professional record on that kit. I don't see what the problem is.

I've played on exports personally and they sound great if they have good heads and good tuning.

Dare i say, it was the player that was making it sound bad in your case?

For someone trying to call me an idiot, you're not so bright really are you?

Theres a good reason poplar isnt used much in professional kits. Its a soft, mediocre sounding wood. Sure you can EQ it to sound good, but who the hell wants a kit that only sounds good when mic'd?

someone who plays mic'd all the time? Which is a lot of people who play larger sized venues like some bars.

I'm not arguing that the export is a professional kit, im arguing that its not terrible.

You're arguing for the sake of arguing.

You're arguing against a point i didn't even make.

While poplar sounds OK, there is a hollowness to the sound. The shell is really secondary to fundamental attack sound of any soft wood kit. For 99.9% of the world there is no audio difference between a $750.00 kit and a 7500.00 kit. It is only us geeks who can hear it. What a kit looks like is what the 99.9% of the peeps can relate to.

i beg to differ.

Datsuzoku your entire argument is invalid.

"exports sound good."
"No. I don't think they sound good, therefore, no one should."
"I also think they sound good."
"You're an idiot, they don't sound good because my perception is superior."

in the overall factors that makes up the true perceived sound of the drum, the shell material (specifically from wood to wood) makes up [i]maybe[/i] 3-4 percent? There's a whole list of things more significant to your drum's sound than its shell material.

if you really don't believe me, then check out this thread.

the drum is made out of one of those cardboard reinforcement tubes for concrete posts, with a wooden veneer around the outside. the last post on the page should have an audio attachment (you might need to be a member to hear it)

How do chickens run?

Is there a specific word for the way they do it? Like "waddle" or something?

That is a very good question.

Why can't you say "run"?

Indeed.

Am tryin to find me all the old silent hill games
