It's too cheap to refuse IMO.

Here's an updated set up and pics of my DW Pacific.  I just added some pinstripes to the toms (with the exception of the floor) and they just sound awsome.  I've also added a Meinl accesory rack for my cowbell and all that other cool stuff.  I've also included a pic of my new harpy hi-hat

Enjoy










Here's a good shot of my Harpies

This particular brand was discontinued in 2005, and the company is now Krest cymbals, so I guess these are considered rare now.  I really like the little birdy though, I think it looks sweet.

i posted on the old thread, so might as well update...

Is that the Mapex Orion series?  Because that's what it seems like from the wrap, and I've only known Mapex to make wrap styles such as that.  Bu, I've never seen in in sparkle, did I?

Ninja-
Whats the batter head on that last (largest) tom, don't think I've come across those before???

Oh, and now that I've looked back, the angles of your cymbals are like, complete 90 degree. Which, I would say, is not a very good position for cymbals.

1)I don't know about you, but I wouldn't get much sound out of it

2)THEY'LL CHEW UP YOUR STICKS

3) I would have a hard time reaching, even if I was Shaq's size.

Well, you must be one of them power drummers, but that's what I think!  Not saying you are, just a possiblity.  Anyway, I used to like them that way that way as well because the sound is just like POW! Like you're punching someone.  Though, I found out later, that if you angle the cymbal a little bit, than it might save your budget on sticks.  Because trust me, buying a pair of Vater Recording sticks, and snappin em in 2 months ain't normal.  At least, i think, cuz there like, the most durable sticks in the world right now. 

I've also created a technique that also gives power, and at the same time, gives that PAH! sound like, breaking a window of a car.  Which to me, is an awsome sound.  What I would do, is I would first hit the cymbal (crash in specific) first, with the tip, but angled in parallel to the cymbal at say, hmmm, 15 degree angle.  Which, of course, is really close to hitting it flat on!  But that's the point, anyway, I would then immediately, on impact, bring the stick down.  To where the shaft would hit it as well,  but again, it's at an almost flat on angle, so I wouldn't think the stick should suffer as much.  So just imagine... A car window breaking, then a loud crash, like dropping silverware. 

It's a little hard to explain, though, once you've tried it, it's a pretty cool sound.  An easier way I would say, is to just to, intend to hit the cymbal flat on, but again, just angle it a bit.  I think it would sound even better on a splash!

But it's up to you dude, your the drummer man, and it's all about you when makin a beat for a band.  No one else can do it but you (on some cases lol).
----------------------------------

But sorry for the long lecture, now I know this should be in techniques section, but I was only just pointin something out.

For the record, I'd rather break sticks than cymbals (actually, I break neither). 


Hmmm...  trust is something that is earned.  Not given on command.    

Peace.

Hi, heres a pic of my drums.  guess this is the right place to post it.

I just suggest open-mindedness.
