LOL!

First page!

Liking the new layout.

yeah yeah first page but i agree with the title thing

1st page :P

Dilemma!

Autechre and Mike Patton are playing on the same day in march
Yellowjackets and Amon Tobin are playing on a different day in march.

Making choices = not cool.


Obligatory "1st page"

Need to grab a shower pretty soon. I think I finished the drums for a newer song of mine just now (recording I mean.) Good stuff I hopes.

razor can you only go to one show?

are the yellowjackets and amon tobin playing on the same day?

In before uncivilized discussion.

for the first date..mike patton i say

Supp kids.

Where'd everybody go? :| I come back after 12 hours and half the forums banned.

I tried my teachers 3 kits today.

He has a Starclassic Maple, a Premier Signia maple, and a Yamaha Custom Maple.

I played all 3, and this is the order I think they sounded best.

Premier Signia. These drums sound huge. The toms were 10", 12", and 14". Sounded like I was playing something with 14, 16 and 18" toms. And the snare drum sounded beautiful.

Tama Starclassic maple: The thin shells, and one ply heads make this sound like thunder. Sizes: 8x8, 10x9, 12x10, 14x12, 16x14. The 16x14 had a G2 over a G1, and we tuned it right down, and then got it to the lowest note possible. That thing made a massive sound.

The Yamaha: I wasn't really impressed by the Yamaha. The shells were very thick compared to the starclassic, and finish was very flat and uninteresting. Suberp sounding kit, but I wouldn't buy one over the starclassic.

And this isn't me being a brand whore. This is what I heard with my own two ears.

Hmmm. Strange, as i've played the tama and yamaha kits and far prefered the yammie

That's a nice 3 kits for anyone to have, either way!

Different ears I guess. The Yamaha is a nice sound kit, don't get me wrong, but IMO, the starclassic is nicer. I personally think it's down to the fact the shell were about twice as thin on the Tama, but meh, might of just been a coincidence of tuning etc etc.

Oliv. Horses, courses mate ;)

Personally if i could have any 3 kits i'd take a Mapex Orion, Sonor Designer and Pearl Masters Custom.

Mmm Sonor Designer. If only :(

Yeah. I'm getting the birch version soon. Better sound than the maple IMO.

EDIT:

I know phil i was only saying that my experiance was different, but as manic said could have been tuning etc

I might take pics of my mini-kit later.

Thinking of adding some bell/trash hats between the rack tom and hats.

Nice. shud be good.
