I’m talking about the basic tone quality of drums versus cymbals. I couldn’t care less about cymbal sound, relatively. I enjoy a good cymbal roll or sizzle on the hats, but I don’t even begin to obsess about cymbal sounds. I own good ones, but my collection is very small.
Drums are a TOTALLY different story, especially toms. I obsess over every detail of drum sound and construction, and I own 5 HIGH-end, specialty sets plus plenty of extra toms. Including a hollow log set, a stave set, a copper set, and a spun fiberglass set. I am a giant weirdo about tom sound. I almost get emotional talking about how a well-tuned, well-made tom can sound to me. I remember the first time I ever heard a set of Yamaha’s with the new YESS mounts. I just wanted to sit underneath them for hours while someone else played them gently with soft mallets.
So what’s your sound obsession story?
