I’d go for the speed cobra as to me it just feels better. Try them out at a store and see what you think. The DW is pretty heavy in my opinion.

I use a Yamaha FP9. I love it and it comes with a belt. The pearl eliminator redline is unmatched in adjustability. I also like the DW 5000, but haven’t tried the 9000. I’d go with the FP9 or redline.

clean it up, and it’ll look a bit better. If it sounds good, then why not use it?

shallower drums are more responsive and better to record. 22x16s are my favorite as to me they are very versatile.

my favourite cymbal is the A zildjian 21” sweet ride. It is nice, has a sound that is suitable for many different genres.sometimes I use another ride, but this is my ‘primary’ ride.

well some pianos are ‘suited’ to some genres meaning that if I saw someone playing a Steinway, I’d think it would be in an orchestra. Or Yamaha, a jazz band. But this isn’t pianistworld forums, so we don’t need to talk about pianos. Because drums are better.

yeah i thought that orchestra/marching band people were old people/soldiers who never wanted to have a laugh. But this has changed and I love orchestral and marching percussion.

this is the point. It’s not ‘generalisation’, I didn’t describe it well. It’s more asking what do these drum companies remind you of? So Yamaha would remind you of, say, metal but Yamaha reminds me of jazz. Everybody’s different. That’s the point. And this thread is about SJC drums.

and back to SJC, I tried out some kits and they sound like the drum equivalent of the world’s finest concert grand piano being smashed to bits by a sledgehammer.

if you have a Yamaha drum kit the first thing that comes into my mind is a jazz drummer in a suit playing along to a jazz band that are wearing suits and also playing Yamaha. Some rock drummers use tama so the first thing that comes into my mind is a rock drummer of some sort. We’re not saying...

I like the ozone cymbals. And what I like about them and also Sabian (even though I play zildjian) is that their low end cymbal range like B8X still have ozone cymbals so that FX cymbals are more available to the masses. Zildjian doesn’t do that. I had an ozone cymbal before and it was really...

The A 16 crash is a good stage crash for me, as it cuts but is not overpowering like you said. Also it sounds really good for its price IMO.

I love DW, especially the hardware but I’m stereotyping and most of the people I have saw with DW drums are people who are really amazing at drums, but play as a hobby and are not In a band.

SJC: rad dope kids who like dope sick rad finishes and like drums that sound like you’re demolishing a piano with a hammer DW: guys playing drum covers and not actually in a band Yamaha: jazzy jazz guy (accompanied by the other Yamaha jazz jazz instruments) Mapex: guys who don’t want to spend...

it is the truth, from what I’ve heard and saw.

So they’re the sort of drum for the type of person who says ‘rad’ or ‘dope’ every 5 seconds.

What are your thoughts on SJC drums in general?

oh god. maybe if it was pre owned, sure, but new that’s unacceptable. Where did you buy it? They are for sale at local shops.

BOOM. REFINISHED.

I think the smaller the crash, the more the ‘splash’. It’s like having a 10” crash would just be a splash, a 16” splash would just be a crash. I think 14” cymbals sounds like splash cymbals too much and maybe 15 or 16” is the minimum.
