my pearls :D

[mrbling]

just moved thigs about a little. put tom on snare stand that used to hold my fan £90 that was just sitting there thougt id use it plus makes tom lower. also means that i had to put hats back to the left of the DB pedal and crash over a tad, and put in a china to play around with.

 

[mrbling]

just noticed that even my b8 cymbals dont look too bad in that light really need to get rid of them :/

 

[mrbling]

ive got a new china

zildjian oriental 18" got it for £80 on ebay just some logo wear and finger prints the usual

 

[spantney]

Thats a tidy looking kit you've got there fella! Congrats on the Zildjian China, those things are intense. The B8 crashes are fine too but since you look to be replacing your cymbals over time anyway then I would wholely recommend Sabian AAX stage crashes. I've got a 16" and an 18" and I can't recommend them enough!

Keep on rocking!

Ahhh thats cool - quite a good selection there buddy. I've also got 17" and 18" A Custom crashes and they are fantastic live but I prefer not to use them for recording. The Sabians seem to be better as an all-rounder. Eliminator is a good choice aswell although I must admit I'm more of an Iron Cobra fan!

hhm yr but i do prefere elims and every ic ive played i cant get along with especially the hi hat stands

 

[mrbling]

now i am annoyed after having never brokoen a cymbal in 5~ years playing ive broken my first cymbal.

closely followed by me second my 2 poor sabian b8 and b8 pro 16" thin crashes they were pretty old im sure the pro was 10 years old

but at least ive got an excuse to buy some paiste 2002 crashes 18 and 20 " just gotta find some £££

Sorry to hear you broke some cymbals recently. I really like your set up. Nice looking kit. Always liked that wine red color on the Exports.

Sorry I cannot hear your band, my pc has no sound.

 

[mrbling]

thts fine would ideally like as many people as possible to hear it but you know

im nearly there with waht im looking at having
hopefully once ive gt my crashes i will get some elims and a hi hat stand then a ludwig black beauty finally some dw 9000 stands and 2 dw 9000 snare stands but thts just an extra

 

[wy yung]

You'll get there. Just like one day I will get a decent pc. The pc I own is an old workhorse from a govt department donated to me by a bass player friend who fixed it up for me.

 

[spantney]

I checked out your band man. Some definate props to your playing! I like that you keep it fairly simple most of the time, theres no overplaying which suits the style of music very well.

Also sorry to hear about your crashes - I've not broken a cymbal in 10 years of playing and I'm quite a hard hitter, so I'm dreading breaking my first one (seeing as my cheapest crash cost me £140!). As Yung said though, you'll get there in the end!

Cheers

Well hey, another export user.

Glad to know I'm not the only one on this forum who uses the reportedly "low-end" Pearl kit.

I like your set-up, I've been a fan of the one-up-two-down thing.

And I have a question: How does the AA raw bell ride sound? I've been thinking of looking into Sabian rides.

hey thanks i get some stick from a few people i know for what they feel is underplaying. annoyed about the cymbals but im over it i guess not to much difference just when i get some 2" cracks ill have to take action really need cash :/

 

[spantney]

Unfortunately there is a fine line between underplaying and playing for the song. Not everyone realises this and just thinks you should be soloing 24/7. Do whats comfortable for you man and as I say, credit wheres credit due...I think you are pretty good! Trust me I've been to many a gig where the drummers have absolutely ripped into the kit all night and its been epic. I've also been to many a gig where the drummers have ripped into the kit all night and its been a disaster - they do stuff that doesnt flow, fit the song and all that jazz.

Do what you are comfortable with man...it seems to be working a treat from those recordings! Only critical thing I would say is that quality of the drum recording isn't fantastic - certain things aren't balanced very well but then again you are only young and arent on a superstar budget so its to be expected!

Cheers man.

 

[mrbling]

cheers for the vote of cinfidence the recording was £180 i think if you check out somojo my guitarist uploaded our full songs

 

[mrbling]

i took some pics of the cracks one of them has ripped alot more and now folds. the last image was what it was like before this new tearing.
