jayluv54 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I hate it when they do that, especially when its 48mos. 0% interest. Nice kit....Collector Series? You play left handed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You play left handed? Thanks, and yes- Collector's. Bought two when Best Buy got out of the MI business. I did add a 14" floor tom and a 22" Gong bass (set up as a floor tom) a few years back. I play left handed, as it inhibits drunk fools from asking to play my kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Man I want one so bad, but I don't think the wife would go for it unless I gave up hockey or sold something with a motor first. Maybe I could talk her into a Ludwig Classic. I love the bluesy sound...John Bonham is my hero, but unfortunately I play more like Patrick Carney. Either way I enjoy that heavy hitting thump that just accents a blues guitar so well. I've tried to get that sound out of my Tama's but its just not happening.

Evans just re-introduced their Hydraulic "oil filled" heads. That might give a nice, fat sound. What shell wood are your Tamas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have the Imperialstars which are 6-ply Poplar with Evans G2 heads. I get a decent punch out of the heads but Poplar shells are definitely more on the bright side, so its tough getting that sound I want. I end up having to muffle the hell out of the drum to avoid the bright resonance. I knew the sound I wanted when I got them and thought I could get it through tuning, but really I should have spent the money and gone with Mahogany or even Maple.

bunnyman666 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 G2 are a very good head. I have also grown fond of CS heads on the resonant side. You ever tried coated heads for batters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 The G2's are actually coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Well, then you would want to go up a weight. Does Evans still have the Ebony heads? They might have a different name. Dammit! Somestimer's is VERY. frustrating!!! They are slightly heavier than G2 with a black coating. Otherwise, you can always go Remo Pinstripe or the new Evans Oil-filled.

jayluv54 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 They have the Onyx series and then they have the black hydraulic and the black chrome. I'm thinking the black hydraulics might be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Okay- it was Onyx. Black, right? Black Chrome may be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 This cymbal does not disappoint! I thought that I loved a 70s Zildjian Earth Ride with my complement of Colorsound cymbals. Paistes always go well with other Paistes. The beef of that Mega Ride bell can't be denied! The shoulder gives a nice ping with a bit of wash. And of course the Colorsound finish does it's thing- darker attack, slightly dry sustain and of course the beauty of the coloured finish! The one thing with Paiste is that their mid-line offerings have the same quality as their pro offerings, just have a few less steps in their manufacture.

motowngoalie Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 A little late to this thread, but fellow drummer here as well Ludwig Epic set-up with Sabian HHX cymbals. I LOVE those hydraulic heads from Evans, I use them with single ply Remos on the resonant side. Man, this gives me the itch to play again, I haven't set up my kit in awhile!

bunnyman666 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Pull me from the ledge- I am thinking of a whole set of Zildjian low volume cymbals. Sweetwater has 3 year financing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 That's where I got my Tama kit and my Sabian's..3yr @ 0%...can't beat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I did order a full set of the low volume Zildjians. I will be putting together a no volume kit so I can get my chops back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I was considering selling my cymbals to get a new set, not crazy about the sound. Need something brighter. I don't know whether to use Ebay or Reverb. Just sold my Les Paul Standard for $700, so I could afford some additions, but I'm in search of the perfect 22" scale guitar. I have such small hands and little dexterity that even the LP was too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnyman666 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Got my L80 cymbals and mesh heads (Pearl- they be's cheaper!) and I am digging them!!!!! Using resonant heads makes them have some tone! Now I need to see if the Gen16 direct souce pickups can be used without the processor; if they can, then this is great news!
