Official "What You Got For Christmas" Thread

[pdp 9091]

Ok so christmas is finally here (few hours away) or maybe already happened already. (I know right now everyone in Europe is sleeping and getting ready to wake up to their drums under the trees) Now I know everyone will be clogging the thread server with new threads about what they got for christmas so i decided to make a thread dedicated for just posting what you got for christmas (drum gear. i dont care if you got new big brown tube socks - remember this is the Drum Gear section of the forum) .

Post away fellow drummers and Merry Christmas/Happy Hannuka/Happy Kwanza

[Drummer Karl]

Well, we had already christmas yesterday (24th) evening. and I got moooney, so I can pay the rest of the money my parents for the Basix Custom which was actually the biiig christmas present.

hahaha, and actually I said to myself: "You won`t buy something for drumming again."

.....but should I tell you: I WILL. As soon as possible, another ride, maybe the Zildjian Breakbeat Ride...I`d use it as the total important third ride cymbal. :-)
or I save even more money and buy a K Custom Left Side Ride 22". This would be the total important second Ride.

bye for now...and merry christmas, hannuka and ... Kwanza

Karl

[tommapex]

Merry Christmas to all!!!!

I'm having a great Xmas. This is what I got for my kit.

Pearl Remote cable hi-hat
An entire set of Saluda cymbals (14 cymbals in all)
3 new top of the line Mapex boom stands

Getting all of this and being with your family, priceless!!!

Sweet! Take pictures of your Saludas! I got Saluda Mist Rock Hats (Mist Brilliant top and Mist-X bottom)

[franklinj]

Well, I gots me a set of custom octobans. Theyre black sparkle with gold sparkle, and they should be here any day now. All maple octobans with 18"&17" depths.

With the $600 or so that ive accumulated through my job and Christmas money, im going to get two new crashes (trade in from Paiste Dimensions Light Ride) and two new chinas, a few clamps, a few boom arms to hold em all, hopefully some in ear monitors, and I may pick up an exotic stave shell. Im thinking something like Padouk, Cocobola, or Hawaiin (sp?) Koa; if I get that shell, a free floating systems going over it.

[SLEEPY BRiGHT EYEZ]

My new Saludas are my Christmas present.

18" Mist-X medium crash
16" Diamond thin crash

I've been playing on them more and more and I swear every day they sound better. Jamie told me to hold on to the Diamond for a little while to see if it sweetens up and it is. I've already decided to go with a complete set of Saludas for my kit and sent off an email describing what I'd like in each piece. So in a couple months hopefully I'll be adding many more Saludas to my setup. I'm thinking of 15" Mist-X hats, 16" and/or 17" Mist-X crash, 20" or 21" Mist-X ride, 14" Diamond crash, 22" Diamond ride, and possibly a 20" Emperor ride. I'd also like to get a splash but I'm not sure from what series. I got a nice Christmas bonus from work and just sold a photo montage print to a friend of mine so he could use it as a Christmas present for his dad, so I have like $450 extra right now to put towards new cymbals and stuff. Woo! I'd also like to have a complete Zildjian set though mixed with As and Ks. Decisions decisions! I think Saluda will come first.

I also got a little percussion set to share with my kids.

[secondXheartbeat]

I gotta say this one more time because I won't be able to it for one more year:
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Algo]

[gusty]

my mum was going to buy me some bongos...but thought better of it and got me a 100 dollar gift card that im putting towards a new kit. also, i got a (free) keyring with those cute little paiste drumsticks on them. haha, and an extra 40 dollars which will go towards the kit. not too bad i guess. my mum helped me out a little while ago with some rather expensive shipping costs for some heads, so thats also a present.

[nhzoso]

Set of nice Headphones with the metronome click built into them, and a Zildjian stick bag.

and about $200 in gift certificates to the local music store, not one of those big neighborhood killing evil mega stores : )

Had alot more on my list but ya know how it goes. Now I have to try and decide on a Ride but will most likely have to save up a little more to get the one I want.

[secondXheartbeat]

wow, this thing is wonderful...congrats!! :-)

Karl

It truly is, I was taken aback my it's versatility right out of the box.

My only gripe is the bell doesn't cut that much, you really have to slam it to get any sort of ping.

[Mendozart]

I picked up this sweet Spaun snare. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/gregmen@sbcglobal.net/album/576460762380532191

I tried on the music fair and yes, it sounds so cool but the bell really isn`t the loudest...which I actually find good. The sound of it isn`t so defined...? I like this soft, washy sound of it. Can we trade? LOL

Haha I'm not sure about trading, that bell is growing on me real quick.

I've never heard a ride cymbal with a washy bell before, it's actually pretty awesome and unique now that I think about it.

[Drummer30]

Sabian Paragon 22" ride, 13" hats, and 16" crash. All of which beat the heck out of my old ZBTs, although my parents got them to wrap so they aren't for sure keepers. I tried them out and liked the ride, but will probably head back to the music store to see what else there is for hats and crashes. Merry Christmas!

[mikei]

I got to place my order on 12/23 for a new Starclassic Performer in Diamond Dust.

Thats a lot of stuff. are you an only child?

[Drummerboy3940]

I received a Ludwig Black Beauty 14x5 snare drum. It has brass die cast hoops and lugs. Its pretty sick and sounds so amazing compared to my old snare which was a Pearl Export. I also got 12 pairs of Vic Firth SD4s and Isolation Headphones. And got some cash too. I also got some CD's too.

[somedrummer]

For drum stuff, all I ended up with was a pair of sticks -Promark 727s- and a few CDs, inc. 2 Krupa/Rich CDs (one I already have) and one called "Big Band Swing-Don Lawrence and his Orchestra". I'm liking them so far. My big present was a CD player for my truck. I also got a gift certificate to the local music store. I might use it on a vintage Zildjian crash I saw in there a few days ago, if it's still there. Then with the money I got plus leftover money I didn't use for buying my family gifts, I might pick out another new cymbal, or possibly get back in touch with Jamie and get a few more Saludas...*evil laugh*...

[Celereon]

All new EVANS Pinstripe heads.

Uh...aren't Pinstripes Remo?

[Will_Drum_For_Skittles]

2 pair Vater Super Jazz drumsticks, drum bags for my whole kit, and some cash.

I sold my old CB drum kit and my Planet Z cymbals, and with that money and the cash I had, I bought a pair of ZBT hats (a step up from planet z's, and they will hold me over until I can afford better) and a 22 inch Sabian HH Manhattan Ride with rivets. 150 dollars for the Manhattan Ride...best deal and best ride ever. The thing is in perfect condition too! I danced my way out of the music store after I bought that beautiful cymbal.

[Fat Elvis]

well i took all my stuff back to guitar center -- and i bought my G2 Clears and G1 Clears for my starclassic. I had more money to spend (store credit and gift cards) and started beating on cymbals, but you know i just did not really hear anything i needed -- not right now. Started walking around the store and i realized what i have wanted for a while and purchased:

Shure E3 In-Ear Monitors. Got a mini mixer and all the cables and such. All in all, its been a fantastic christmas.

[TopCat]

Went shopping today....Bought a Pair of Paiste Black Label 2002 15" hats. I am one happy bunny.

Yes. I am an only child. : D

Right, I was on a role with the EMAD heads. Just kept on going! : )
Merry Christmas to you too!

[DogBreath]

This was a Kitchen Christmas for me, not a Drum Christmas. The only drum-related gift was a gift to myself of a Wuhan splash. But man does it sound great. I'm trying to figure out where to place it on my kit.

[Guinness]

This kid got a DW-9000 single pedal. After trying one out at guitar center I decided I needed one and now the Iron Cobra double is safely tucked away in it's case. I have no need for double bass in my current band, otherwise Santa might have had to bring me one. So much smoother and sensitive. I LOVE IT!

[DarkToxin]

I got a LOT a money and am using it to buy Axis AL-2 Longboard pedals
And with the money i got from working im thinking of buying a zildjian planet z ride and a wuhan 18 inch china

[rendezvous_drummer]

- New Breed book by Gary Chester
- Advance techniques for the modern drummer- Coordination as appiled to jazz and Bop by Jim Chapin

[Mike Firth]

Wow! My cousin who quit the drumming dream about 5 years ago gave me 7 cymbals which are all Sabian AA's and a pretty nice Mapex set (not sure on the make.) Im gonna trade the 7 cymbals in to Saluda and try out some of their cymbals and try to ebay the Mapex set. Yay :]

I used some xmas money to order a Dream 22" Bliss ride and a matching pair of 14" hats from the FrontRangeBronze guy on eBay. I've been busting to try them since the Modern Drummer review of Dream cymbals arrived.

I've heard bad things about acrylic drums, but that was from someone who doesn't really know what they're talking about, so who knows. I don't know much about the starclassics, but I've got an M Birch kit, and if the Saturns are a step up from that, they're wonderful, no doubt.

[khanedeliac]

khanedeliac, I hear those Stagg DH are the Wuhan china of the splash world. Cheap but real good. Whats your thoughts on it?

Mine sounds good: sharp and quick with a nice pitch, perhaps the decay time could be a bit shorter (maybe I won't notice this as much once I incorporate it into my regular setup), but overall very pleased.
Very good value for money, but apparently there isnt a consistent sound to them so its best to try them out if you can before buying and pick the exact one you like.

Hope I helped in some way...?

[Class A Drummer]

Even though i am Jewish, my friend decided she wanted to get me a Christmas present (yes she knows i am jewish... i know kinda odd). So she ordered me a pair of Regal Tip 2B's. I havent recieved them yet, but i have used them before and they are great sticks.

Cant wait because i am low on sticks, i think im down to about 30 pairs now...

[nhzoso]

A Mapex Saturn 5 pc in Rootbeer Burst, 22x18,12x10,13x11,16x16 14x6snare ](Thank you wifey ; )

A backrest for my roc -n- soc throne.(probably would not have bought it for myself but I need it)

LP rock cowbell

Buddy Rich's modern interpretation of snare rudiments w/dvd's

$125 in gift cards to local music store.

Pretty cool my post from last xmas is on here too... I think this Xmas easily tops last years : ) Still do not have a new ride though..hmmmmmmmm

[svkelleher10]

I got the pulse roto toms. I thought, pulse sucks, right?

I'm impressed, these toms kick ass.

Also got an 8" Toca Mounted tambourine, and some new hardware.

I'm still using a spare stick as a boom arm though, so i still need more hardware haha.

[rendezvous_drummer]

Well since I got bugger all for christmas that is related to drum stuff, I figured why the hell not buy myself something. SO! I bought a 20" Paiste 2002 Crash. Beautiful sounding and not your average crash that's for sure.

Sweet, where did you get it? I been thinking of getting this also since all my other cymbals are 2oo2's except the hats. My local store has a 24" 2oo2 for $275 but I think I like the sound of the 20" better, although it's hard to tell sometimes. Picking a ride is the toughest thing for me to do, so tough infact that I still use my Sabian B8...LOL

Still using that B8 eh haha. Whatever works for you mate. Ever checked out the Zildjian K Ride?

Anyways, back to the Paiste. I love the 20" crash. I picked it up from my local shop today. COMPLETELY IMPULSIVE! I saw it....saw it was $295 brand new, took my credit card out and bought it. I've heard the 24" crash as well in person and it sounds real good too, but the 20" was perfect, not too much over tone. Solid choice. The 22" is also a beautiful crash. But I whole heartedly recommend this crash. Good luck in your decision.

Yeah I know right... I need to make up my mind. I bought my hats easily enough and my crashes were a great deal but for some reason I am having a hard time in choosing a ride. I mean it's not like if I don't like it I can't sell it and get another one...LOL.

Thanks for the info

[rendezvous_drummer]

No worries, hope I was able to help. But I know what you mean. I have two rides and use both as a crash and also my K as the main ride, but it took me forever and I wouldn't part with my AA Rock Ride, but sooner or later you'll find something.

[stevedrum]

My Christmas present my parents bought me arrived in September, it is a Premier, Premier Series Maple Classic 5 piece kit with a Modern Classic Polished Brass Shell Snare and 400 series Hardware and a set of Bosphorus Cymbals (Ferit 21" Ride, Traditional 16" Crash, 14" Master Hi-Hats and 11" Gold Splash). On Christmas day they gave me $60 to help the purchase of my dream percussion set.

Someone was a very good boy in 2007.


I got some cash to recoup on my Ebay purchase of the Anton Figg signature snare (which i'll post pictures of very soon).

[fourstringdrums]

I got nothing drum related. We went a little light on gifts this year and I knew that anything I wanted drum related I could just buy myself *lol*

[The Levee Breaker]

I got a set of Paiste 2oo2's and i bought myself a ludwig supra 402, which i'm hoping to receive sometime in the next few days. The cymbals are awesome though.

[mind_drummer]

I had receive nothing drum related but I did receive money so with this I ordered a TAMA Rhythm Watch, Vic Firth Isolation head phone, 2 pairs of Steve Gadd sig sticks and a pair of Simon Philips sig sticks ( I like to try new sticks and the SSG are very nice so this is why I ordered two pairs).

[GW Drums]

JoJo Mayer DVD, he is amazing. I feel like giving up (not really) but it will keep me humble for sure.

Tosco (made by Sabian) 13" Hip Hop Hats that sound way beyond their modest price tag. I would recommend them to anyone.

My Birthday is in late November and this year I got a Zildjian 18" A Custom Fast Crash. So this holiday season has been very good to me. More than I deserve.


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

[Odranaz]

Joey Jordison signature snare (love the pop)

14'' Wuhan China (for 30 bucks i thought it's crazyyy)

$100 Guitar Center gift card. (not enough money huh?) dont tell my dad I said that. ha

[Bruce M. Thomson]

I am expecting my Black Panther Deep Walnut snare very soon, it has cleared customs and is on it's way to the local post office. It may be a bit of a cheat but I bought it for myself as a gift.

[drumbum1977]

As usual there was a new pair of sticks in my stocking....got the Weckl Evolution (orange) ....man those give some pop! I like them, my wife not so much!

[the gayge]

My house is rockin', yo.

[Steamer]

Nothing for Christmas but a couple of new Agop treasures and additions coming in soon in early 08 the new Lenny White 22" "Epoch" ride and a pair of 14" Vezir high hats to add to my Istanbul Agop cymbal family.

K Zildjian 24" Light Ride

ooooh -- those are nice indeed.

[Manicoti]

I got a 15x6.5 SJC 6 ply maple snare in aged white marine pearl with a black diamond peal stripe and black diamond wood hoops. This thing sounds amazing!! And i bought myself a 14x6.5 Antonio Drums snare from Croatia. It's called a double wall snare. It's made of maple and the inner wall inside the snare is aluminum......

[tomtom]

ooooh -- those are nice indeed.

ooooh, indeed they are veeeery nice. I picked it myself, gorgeous cymbal!

Wow! Pics and a thread in Your Gear please that sounds amazing!

As for me I got a Super Kick II and lovely white Ambassador reso. Also got a cheap little stand to keep me going until I can afford something more heavy.

The Antonio snare's not in yet, he's justing waiting on a strainer for it and then he's sending it out. Check out their website, he's got sound samples......

[Drummerboy3940]

I got $500 in cash and im going to GC to purchase a throne, 1 or 2 crashes, drum mics, and maybe some recording stuff. Plus, I get the employee discount so my money almost doubles. It's gonna be a fun trip!

[aruration]

A Pearl Brass Free Floater 14"x6.5" snare! ! ! Yeah I'm so excited, can't wait for it to come.

And probably a new hi-hat stand I haven't decided yet.

[Jdrum14]

I got:
A DW Shirt
Vater Earplugs
MD Fest 06 Sat. 9/16 (The best festival day in my opinion)
Money, that I used to buy myself a 16'' Zildjian Fast Crash

[TheStephen]

Well, I already posted this in the off-topic Christmas thread, but since this is strictly drum gear I suppose I'll repost:

Up until now the only cymbals I've had were the Meinl MCS's that came with my kit, so I got some upgrades:

14" K Light hats
20" K Custom Hybrid ride
24" K Light ride

Those two rides sound surprisingly good together.

EDIT: Unfortunately I didn't get a digital camera for Christmas, so no pics at the moment.

thats a pretty dern nice upgrade. Congrats.

[burnthehero]

Zildjian 14" K hihats (gift to myself).

I absolutely love them, and I've wanted them for a long time. I had been playing Z Customs for about 5 years before I got the K's. My style and tastes have changed dramatically over those 5 years, so it was time for an upgrade.

[GRUNTERSDAD]

With some cash from my sis I ordered a back rest for my Tama Ergo-Rider Drum throne. With the earlier purchased Gretsch Renowns I am set drum wise, but was nice to read all of the goodies you other chaps received.

[drumtechdad]

22" Constantinople Medium Ride, most beautiful cymbal I've ever played.

Here she is...

Holy crap: you must have been a very good boy!

My son's teacher let me play one of these a couple of weeks ago, and this cymbal is to die for. Too bad they cost so much.

[drumtechdad]

Got an 8" tom to go with my 10-12-14-16 Pearl ECX, along with a TC-1000 tom holder/cymbal boom. (Also 2.3 hoops for the tom and coated/clear Ambassadors.) Pretty hilarious that the stand cost as much as the drum!

[PineyplayParadiddles]

Black Panther Hammered Brass snare, very heavy.

[stasz]

This is my favorite thread.

First, I got some Vic Firth stereo isolation headphones. It's pretty fun to play along to my favorite tunes, but the annoying thing is, it makes my drums sound really fat and deep. A nice thing for the toms and bass but I don't like the mega-fat snare sound.

Next, I got a Paiste 20" 505 ride. The bad part is it's shipped to my house but I'm on vacation til Saturday, so I don't get to play it yet. I will as soon as I get home, though, and add some pics.

I also bought myself a stick bag and some VF rutes. I was going to go for an 18" Paiste Traditionals China I heard and fell in love with, but that one's gonna take some saving. (300 smackers!)
