Does anyone have any Taye drum experience? I just wanna know how they match up, i got a Rockpro myself and i love it. Only problems ive had with the hardware is you gotta really tighten tom clamps to stop the moving, and the pedal is so-so. I do love the suspended tom system though, and how i got mine tuned. Nice and high pitched, with a lot of reverb echoey sound. Kind of like timbales

how exactly is tightening them properly a hardwear problem>

I just meant, i thought mine were tight enough, didnt want to strip anything, but i noticed as I played, they'd get lower over the course of about a week or two, so i just tightened them more

Double Bass?
 

OK....I've been working for about three years and have saved almost five grand. Should I buy a set with two bass drums or a double pedal? Which one sounds better? Again, money doesn't matter. Tell me which brand and which make, too.

Do you want us to play them for you as well...:p

Heres the deal man, before you blow a load of cash, go to a decent drum store and try em out. For that price, you have many options. As for whether you should get two bass drums, thats preference.

Tama Swingstar. Opinions?

*bump*

What do you think of the kit? I need answers asap!

[QUOTE=440561]Ive found several kits on eBay. Bear in mind im on a budget of less than £500 preferably, here's what ive found:
Mapex VX
Mapex M Birch
Mapex Voyager
and also [URL="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DDRUM-DIABLO-PUNX-DRUM-KIT-SET-SILVER-BLUE-HARDWARE-NEW_W0QQitemZ7407348329QQcategoryZ38097QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting"]this[/URL].
Cool or what!
What's the best buy guys? Opinions of other drummers are what matters to me now![/QUOTE]

M birch, man! cant go wrong with any of mapex's models :thumb:

I also hear bad things about ddrums shells...

Yeah but scrap that list, what do you think of the swingstar?

Its okay, but the only experience i have with a swingstar is the one in the studio at my college...

The toms are tuned very low, and everything has been set-up by a technician, so its not at all drummer friendly.

Sorry im not much help, but have you ever heard someone complain of something wrong with a mapex?

I am forever hearing people complain about pearl and tama, and compared to a mapex i think a mapex would be a good choice for a starting/replacement drum kit

Well I have heard a few bad comments about Mapex but I know they are good. When you say that the kit at your college isn't at all drummer friendly, isn't that because it isn't tuned well and set-up wrong. With new heads and good tuning, wont the kit be just as good as any other kit the next "stage up"?

Has anyone here ever e-mail conaway drums to get a qoute for a drumset before? I e-mailed them on Thursday afternoon and still haven't gotten a response.

It takes about 3 or 4 days,well, thats how long it took for mine

oh ok, thx.

Okay Sonor S-class Pro or Yamaha Absolute Maple?

Yammy?

That's probably something you're going to have to decide for yourself, massik. There are brand inequalities in lower range kits, but when it gets to S-Class and the nouveau maple, it's purely preference and the features of both. The nouveau maple is more of a custom feel, in that you can pick your finishes and such...it's also more expensive. With the sonors, I doubt you'll need 100 finish choices, because all of the finishes are brilliant...especially the grained maple and the aqua green.

DW Maple Custom Drums and DW Edge Snare

Blue Sparkle FinishPly
12x9 Rack Tom
16x13 Floor
22x18 Bass

DW Edge In Natural Finish
14x6



Overall sound: The drums are extremely warm and resonate. The respond well at just about any volume and take any tuning. Tuned low, the toms sound punchy and deep, tuned high the almost sound like they are piercing and sharp. The bass drum sounds good at any tuning, but I find a little bit higher than medium tension is where it sounds the best.

Edge Snare: The edge snare is probably one of the best snares I've used. I really like to tune it high, because you get the crack of the metal. The drum typical sounds like a thick shelled bronze drum thats a little bit warmer than most.

Positives:
Amazing Sound
Easy to tune
Beautiful
Indestructable Finish (I've had drunk guys fall on my drumset at shows before)

Negatives:
Exspensive

Sets I am considering getting:
Mapex M Birch
Tama Superstar SL Custom 4 piece
Tama Superstar EFX 4 piece

WHich one should I lean to?

Mapex.

Me too. I want mapex. I want a nice Pro M kit. Six piece, two mounted toms, and two floor toms.

Yes.

Bump.

Holy hell this thread is old. I forgot I merged my old account with this one and saw a post by me on the first page and freaked out until I realized it was 3 years old. :lol:

Yeah I was like, how did this get to nine pages in like 7 hours lol, and who were all those people at the front. But yeah, probably worth bumping from the looks of it.

i dont really think this was worth a bump and maybe the original post should be edited for 3007s i think they are now?

I wish Sonor Ken would come back...

Yea I was actually under the impression that he was back until I realized this thread was 9 pages long and 3 years old. Ken was cool. He should come back.
