Do you gig? I have a problematic band, no one is near good as me, not to sound like a god. They suck while I retain much more talent than them. If they were better or I could find someone else, money wouldn't be a problem.

A decent drum kit? 1000 pounds? Not sure. My bass rig = 1000 pounds+ and its not as amazing as I want it to be by any means. Drums aren't more expensive once you really get going.

:smash:

they do cost way more than guitar equipment becuz of cymbals, stands, drums, accesories a proffesional set of drums is like around 2000 or more a pro gtar is like 1400 to 1600

Hello Metallica Fans, I notice this thread is almost at the 1000 pages mark. :eek:


Anyway, I've noticed on a lot of other threads and sections on this website, people don't like Metallica. I see a lot of Metallica bashing whenever they come up. Why do these people have a problem with Metallica??

They think b/c Metallica is so popular, that means they must be overrated and suck.

most dont hate metallica they jus hav some people that disagree in stuff and fights break out and it was mostly becuz of stubborn ppl

Lets look at this a different way...

What is (realistically... Don't go listing huge prices for drumkits you wouldn't want/use) the highest price you think you would be paying for a drumkit?

£2000?

I want...

Custom Bass (from JPBass in the Bass forum... Sweet :) Not overly expensive for what I want on it)

£1200/1400

Roland DB900 Amp (Not a professional amp setup, but as much as I'll probably ever need. I was talking to someone with a £1500 amp today. It would be nice...)

£900

My pedals so far

£150

Wireless Unit (next purchase! woo!)

£200 (not a great one for that price but ah well :p)

Cables

Probably up around £70 for good ones.

I'll not count strings, as you can offset them against buying Drumsticks.

That's probably all I can think of at the moment, though there's doubtlessly more.

Add it up, and you get your £2000 pounds easily...

:smash:

The only thing I've done even close to a gig is Battle of the Bands at my school.

I'm not in that band anymore though. Everyone else in it thought that it couldn't work cuz they sucked so bad, which was completely false.

Oh well, I'm making another band with the vocalist.

But he meant a starter kit, to add on to the drum thing and replace the parts, that's 3-6000 bucks or pounds to get a decent drum set and maintain it. Comparable to Metallica size, since this is the 'tallica thread.

Awsome!

My band is "The Great Revival"
our album is ready to record!

this doesnt have anything to do with the mighty Metallica
but neither does motly crue or dokken or poison or any other
hair metal band :evil:

fat bandit i use us currency so its different

Wgere are you?

[QUOTE=The_dude]fat bandit i use us currency so its different[/QUOTE]

Yea 1600 bucks is roughly 1900- 2000 pounds.

oh well how much is 2200 bucks in pounds

[QUOTE=hethamulburton]Yea 1600 bucks is roughly 1900- 2000 pounds.[/QUOTE]

that's about right

[QUOTE=hethamulburton]Yea 1600 bucks is roughly 1900- 2000 pounds.[/QUOTE]

1600 us dollars is actually like 900-1000 pounds I think.

Comparable to Metallica Size? You seen the size of kit Lars uses nowadays? And its personal preference on kit size, not Lars' preference. If I was going for a rig like Trujillo's, it would cost a hella lot more!

Basically, if you're going on US currency, double my figures and take a little off. That should be about right. But my estimation would be for that rig to come out at about... A little under $6000?

:smash:

[QUOTE=PepsiMetal]1600 us dollars is actually like 900-1000 pounds I think.[/QUOTE]


it is>?

ya i thought pounds is more value then a us dollar

I was saying for a comparable size.

Yes, PepsiMetal is right. Don't overvalue your dollar! :lol:

:smash:

2,200.00 USD = 1,261.21 GBP

Well yea they are but that's a lotta money

O yea ****, sorry, i went the wrong way, 1600 bucks is about 1K- 1.2K in pounds.

For a comparable size then, and considering the price and multitude of basses that Trujillo will use in any one given show, rack my price estimate up a [b]lot[/b].

:smash:

That sounds better...but back to metallica

i dont think anyone thats not in a big band would spend more then 2200 to 2600 on a realy good drum kit

Not talking about Rob, I'm saying Lars.

Overvaluing again. $1.6 to £1.2? Naw. If you use your 1k instead of 1.2, you're closer.

:smash:

I play guitar and drums...Kinda

but anyway I got my bro's bass and have learned everything up to the drum part on pulling teeth...any advice on the second part?
