Hey all,
I come to you from Texas asking some big favors. I've been drumming for about a year and a half, and recently decided to start playing some gigs with a talented singer/guitar friend of mine. My question for you is what do i need to do to my drumset that i have now in order to get "gig" ready. I'm pretty tight on cash. I would love any advice i can get from some people who know the ropes. I play texas country music..
-What types of cymbals should i look into? I've been told to search for some used good ride/crashes/high hats individually on ebay. I've also thought about purchasing a cymbal pack (maybe the meinl mcs?) Right now i have a 16' Sabian B8 Crash and the rest are junk. Any help here is appreciated.. budget: $250 or less
-Also, should i look into buying some mics? If so, is a whole set necessary or could just a couple overhead mics do the trick? I realize a set of good mics and cables isnt cheap though..
heres what im working with:
If you have any other tips or advice, i would love to hear them. Thanks a ton.
