humble drum
Junior Member
I am a very experienced musician, but not a drummer. I was given a vintage (30's) Slingerland set (still with the old skin heads & old hardware) and I want to get some hi hat cymbals to match that old sound as best I can. The trick is, I can't afford anything fancy. I need cheap ones... around $100-200. I don't know whether to look at 13" or 14" or whatever else. Like I said, even tho I don't know much about drums, I know how to play music. I'm basically a one-man-band who loves to write and record music. The sound I'm going for (old jazz, country, jug band, blues) just doesn't work with the electronic drums I've been using. I want to use my set now.
So, keep in mind that I probably won't ever be playing drums on stage, so durability is not much of a concern. If there is nothing new worth buying in my price range whatsoever, then I can try my luck on eBay and such. So, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
