Nitemare. Don't worry about the 1.6 dude.. I've owned WAY too many kits with 1.6 on them... I hit very hard, and have never had any issues. You can switch to 2.3's or whatever for not much money if you have a 1.6 freakout.
Go find a guy that has serious problems with his Yamaha Recording Custom and the 1.6's they still put standard on them after all these decades.
i love the silverstars.. they sound amazing! only con with them is 1.6mm triple flanged hoops - i've cracked these before...
I used to own a starclassic perfomer birch kit and HATED the die-cast hoops. I'll take "cheap" 1.6's any day for the sound. Way more "alive" to me.
haha thanks guys. I don't rimshot on the snare so it's all good.
Why?
By looking at your name I thought you were into metal/hardcore stuff...
and the 1,6mm hoops , have been standard in previous years and they have the most open sound ond complex sound of all hoops.
