hey welcome, loving the saturn, looks really fun to play

looks sweet :D
ive always liked white finishes :D
i love the splash corner :D


only thing i would say is you have ure toms in like a perfect straight line, isnt that hard to play?

[darrenwalker]

Hi ,
Well i guess its just the way i,ve always played the racks. I find it quite easy to play with the toms straight.
My splash corner was formed from habit too, i,ve always played the splashes on the left, although i,m going to mess around with some splashes over near the ride..again, i think your setup becomes a "habit" if you know what i mean?
The finish is,nt shown well on the pictures, its actually a white sparkle, not seen many about.

Love Saturns dude especially white sparkle ones so yours fits the bill :) love your setup too. Looks very clean and professional, as if everything is there for a reason if you know what I mean?

ah yeh ofc, i think ive just found were my toms are going to stay :D


white/white sparkle all looks smexi :D


what are the stagg cymbals like??

ive had a couple of people tell me that if u look/try hard enough the handmade staggs can sound good

[darrenwalker]

Hi,
I have 2 stagg DH chinas, a 14" and a 16" i picked them after trying a few others as there hand hammered they all sound different. Mind you, they all sound good in my own opinion.

They are quite thin, which is exactly what i was looking for as the sabian AAX was way to thick and clangy for my liking.

The DH staggs are what i would describe as quite fast, quick response with a fairly quick decay. Very bright and very loud . Excellent for accents. I find they complement the sabian crashes i use perfectly. Something i could not find in the Sabian range.
Also, at 60.00 GBP for the 16" and 40.00GBP for the 14"..how can you go wrong?
