hi guys! i'm a new user here, so this is my first time to post a topic in here.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT YOUR DRUMSET SET-UP? WHAT DRUMSET DO YOU (NAME) USE? WHAT KIND OF STICKS DO YOU HAVE? AND WHAT CYMBALS?

thanks for posting replies!

I agree with Felix, this topic has been covered before but ayesa you wer'nt to know that so:

Late 70's SONOR (7 ply really really heavy) 5 piece Soviet Orange(this colours back in by the way.....or maybe it isnt)

Classic Ludwig 402 Snare (ex Buddy Use)

70's Premier Hardware

Cymbals : Sabian/Paiste/Meinl and Zanki

Out of interest Misenko, why do you feel you need new hardware ?.....im just wondering :)

I went through the hate side of my love/hate relationship with drumming and sold everything off. Naturally, the love part is 1000 times stronger so that didn't last long.
Since I'm not in any bands at the moment (I play at a church) I bought a set of Rolands for home. Just about 3 weeks ago I picked up a brand new V-Session with a Pearl double-kick.
I'm not going to argue whether E drums are better worse or the same as A's, I just know that I can play them any time day or night and my family doesn't kill me.

Sticks is another matter -- I've got this one pair of ugly orange sticks that were given to me at a NAMM show back in the mid-80's. I love them! I think (not sure) that they are some sort of composite material and I would really like to find more. They are straight, well-balanced, excellent sounding -- better than nylon on cymbals, and have lasted me for about 15 years so far.

If anyone has any idea what these sticks are, who made them, where I could get more -- I'd love to know!!

If you really want to know what I have, you can go to my  http://bartelliott.com]web site  and view my  http://bartelliott.com/equipment.html]Equipment  or my  http://bartelliott.com/set-up.html]Set-up .  There's too much info and too many variables to post it all here.

BAnimalG

Yeah Bartman, you aren't kidding around!  I've checked out your web-site and seen all your different setups.  <thinking out loud>  "Must be nice to have sponsorship!"   LOL!!   ;D  Just ribbin' on ya B-Man!

Misenko

Just out of curiosity, how often do you use all your different Stuff Bartman? You have so much, so how much do you use it all?

if there is anything being negelcted you could always send it to a charitable person like me who likes to take neglected peices of drum equipment off your hands...so many cymbols suffer from neglect, its so sad...thats why I am willing to step in and help them!!....please? ;D ;D ;D ;)

;D Well, just for the record, none of my gear came from any kind of a sponsorship or endorsement; I'm not good enough to get free gear.  It all came from hard work and the sweat of my brow. I did get a lot of stuff from back when I had my drumshop; wholesale prices are a beautiful thing.

It all gets used, but not all the time. When I do a percussion session 80% of my percussion gear goes with me ... which takes a very long time to load and unload. For me, it's important to have a large selection at my disposal at the recording studio. I really hate hearing something I want to add ... only to find that I didn't bring it with me.  :o

I enjoy collecting the stuff as a hobby too ... so I get double benefits ... being able to use it on the gig/session, as well as collecting it. I like having the right tool for the job ... whenever possible.

clearseawater

ahhh.....200th post and I still can't spell or string ledgeable sentances together.....does anyone think i'll get any better ?.....nope, I did'nt think so..

Bart, I was wondering why you feel that to get sponsorship/endorcements you have to "be good"..

Certainly in Britain, being "Good" is rarely part of the deal when it comes to freebees ect. Its all about exposure and having that "marketable thing" thats in "vogue" at that precise time(doesnt mean musicianship.....rarely in fact).

Plenty of great musicians I know have never been near smelling distance of any company deals.......

How many drummers that have been mentioned in the "Overated Drummers" thread have sponsorship....I bet a lot..

Ringo for one I believe and Ive stated my views on him, plenty of times..
