2002’s I prefer the Thin crashes and standard ride

Complex seem similar to x-tremes which is what I use. Looks like more hammering though. Would love to be able to swap my crashes out for them.

I recently purchased full TD-11 set up with cy-13 and 12 new for just over 700. Came boxed up from factory so it was never played. I’d go with the newer TD-17

I just snagged a black galaxy 6.5 for 160 (couldn't resist) just wondered while I await its arrival which you would prefer? It seems to me to be a case of better looking drum with better hardware vs pure Mojo. Will probably side with the the mojo.

I looking for another low cost quality sounding set, I've owned Sonor 3007s, PDP CXs and meridian maples. I ended up after a lot of research and a lucky eBay break with a Taye Studio Birch set. The torquise wrap is awesome. Got them for 399 which shows the birch hate (or maple love) that exists...

Freaking yoko ono bi+€h $&@$%+#%. Really. Really. Sorry had to get that off my chest, feel a little better now. Feel free to delete this thread. Anyone know a good lead guitar player.

I just bought my favorite ride ever a 20" Paiste signature dry ride 20" ( not the dry heavy just dry). I had this cymbal about 10 years ago and held on to it longer than any other ride I've ever had. I'm constantly swapping gear as I'm know a lot of fellow members here do also. The only other...

I bought a pst8 20" ride for my practice set I keep at home but after playing it for awhile I got into my vault and pulled out my 20" k heavy ride and put them side by side. After playing both and comparing them for about an hour the k stayed on my practice set and the pst8 went in my gigging...

I have been listening to the 18" thin crash samples everywhere on the net including the paiste site and after hearing and reading reviews I'm headed out in search of one. I'm thinking from what I hear they have created a series reminiscent of the 404 or 505 series in these PST 7's. I'm going to...

I have been searching for a deep snare drum (over 6.5") for the past two weeks and have left no stone unturned. I preferred maple but was open to anything as long as it was under $250. Drumcenter of Portsmouth is running a blowout deal on Grestch Silver Series 14 x 8.5 maple cannons. It came by...

I just got a steal on a 12" dual coil powered sub. It's a Crate which I'm not sure but think it's a middle of the road brand that is 250w. Plenty enough for small bars I play. Just looking for some bass drum beef. Think this will be enough? Or is it too small being 12"?

Well that's everything I read online about them, junk Asian mohog luan shells. Welll,I needed some toms to go with a CX maple bassdrum for a practice kit and come across 4 - Yammy5000 shells that color matched my bass and we're all but free price wise. I've owned cheap mahogany shells and they...

I see musicians friend is selling Drumcraft Certified Bubinga snare drums 14 x 5.5 for $149 on eBay. With the Nickelwork throw this is a steal. I see Beech 6" ones for $169. Thought I'd pass it on. The price is worth it just for the hardware IMO. Wish I didn't just spend so much on my Roland kit...
