show your saludas

[dom]

Over the last few months there has been a large growth in Saluda users here on the forum, and Saluda has grown quite a bit as well. So I figure there needs to be a place to show off our Saluda Customs…

My cymbals came in today.

18" Thin Crash Ride
10" Mixt-X Splash

I LOVE them and will be talking to Jamie about getting some more.

[dom]

gasypo what line is your crash ride from?

When I started the conversation with Jamie, I inquired about a traditional finish Mist-X. On the shipping tracking from DHD, it said 18" Prototype. Nonetheless, it sounds great...it goes well with my two other crashes 16" A Thin Crash and 17" A Medium Thin Crash and gives me a good secondary ride option.

[fourstringdrums]

Gasypo, I love the finish on that 18". I really wish Jamie would email me back soon, I'm anxious to get started :)

Jamie just told me that it is a new prototype in which I have the third one from that series. It will be posted on the website in the future.

I just emailed him inquiring about trading in my other cymbals. I think I am going to keep my New Beats though. I just love those cymbals.

Saluda OCTOBANS?!?!

Yes, they are here. All maple black sparkle w/ gold hardware, low pitch. Now I just need to find out the best way to mount these! :>)

[franklinj]

Oh, and check out this djembe I got. I got it as kind of a gag, but surprisingly, it sounds pretty good. it was only $50, so I couldnt really go wrong :D

Oh, adn the djembe goes well w/ my peace pipe, boomerang, digeridoo, and other misc. exotic items.

[goalieman92]

mount the up beside you rack tom since you don't got your ride placed in that spot.

right now I'm talking with saluda about maybe getting a quote to get some cymbas made.

[JoshRead]

Here's my Saluda Rock hats, Mist Brilliant top (1169 g) and Mist-X bottom (1170 g). Amazing cymbals, so crisp and nice.

[goalieman92]

Hah, I actually just recently bought a Superkick II and I'm liking it so far. We'll see from there heh. I don't know if I'll give up the coated G2's on the toms though. ;)

[dom]

Nice Octobans! I mounted mine to my rack with the top of a Tama Double tom stand. Works great.

Thanks Madwatch! Im buying a double tom holder on ebay for $30 right now.

I want to mount my djembe to my rack too. Any suggestions w/ that?

Your welcome! As for a Djembe , I use the heavy duty stand that Gibralter makes. It has a base just like a cymbal stand. So If you wanted , you could just take it out of its base and mount it to your rack. The stand is on the expensive side ( $150 or so ) , but it would work.

Damn, thats expensive. I got fired a while ago, so I may just make something like the LP stand. Its just a keyboard stand with some velcro on it, and they expect me to pay 70 dollars for it.

Poor peoples solution- make your own.

[Madwatch]

I hear ya , it is expensive but it was the only thing that I found that would hold a 18in djembe securely.

Yours looks much smaller , so a smaller stand should work fine. There is also this for $39.

Mine is a lot smaller; I think its only 11 inches wide. I may pick up that stand, so thanks for the link!

Here's my 16" prototype crash, the first of its kind to be released to the public. I also have an 18" Diamond crash and 14" Mist-X rippled edge hats of which I do not have pictures at the time.
I love them all dearly, and Saluda and Jamie are great to work with.


Sorry I don't have any djembes to contribute to the thread's new subject, hahaha.

[jollymosher]

I love my saludas, i wish i had pics!

17 18 medium dark mist crashes

13 medium hats (they are hammard to sound really really really hip-hop like)

7.5 hybrid pangs

8 cup chime thing


i wanna get a saluda china and ride. but im broke. comes with the drums i guess.

[Velimor]

Right now, I just have 14" Mist X Dark Rock hats and an 18" Diamond China. The china is cracked though. :( I'm sending Jamie an email today to see if anything can be done. I used to have an 8" Hybrid-x Mini China and 14" Hybrid-x Crash, but I sold those (among other things) to buy my new UFIP ride and a main crash. So here's my set now with the Saluda hats and china:

I just got my saluda hi-hats on Friday. They are Mist-X's (top 1131g./Heavy bottom 1441g.)

I also ordered a 3.5" SalBal. You put it on your bottom hi-hat and it makes it sound like a sizzle hat, cool little effect.

I'll post pictures when I get home from teaching today.

[gasypo]

Here are some pictures of my Saluda's...I can't remember what I have posted on here so I have some individual shots of my cymbals as well.
