Not bad except I imagine that dark cymbal sounds like shit.

>>70771620
if by shit you mean buttery smooth attack and a musical wash than yes

>>70771620
thats a pricey ass cymbal you know.

>>70771578
you learned to pay drums at church youth group

>>70771641
I'm not much of a drummer so I don't really know. It just seems like whenever I've played a cymbal that looks like that it usually sounds like shit.

Other than that it looks like a 8/10 set that would be fun to play on

My main piece of equipment. I fuckin love it. Sounds great. Portable. Fun to play. 11/10 good shit.

Looks like my old friend's setup minus the basement. Guy used to buy incredibly expensive cymbals like yours and then break them in a month because he hit them too hard. He literally broke graphite drum sticks and hit a cymbal so hard once it fucking sheared in half instead of cracking. He basically killed our old high school band because we were setting up a group fund to pay for setup equipment for shows and he wanted to use it to buy his 100$ cymbals that he'd just fucking break in two weeks. We kept trying to tell the dumb shit he was hitting his equipment too hard but he'd never listen.

You're a tall person.

>>70771788
dear god what a waste.

>>70771797
i'm 5'11'' but I like my throne nice&high with toms/cymbals nice&flat

>>70771788
good thing I actually know how to hit a cymbal without breaking it...

>>70771578
>Gee Bill two rides

>>70772608
left cymbal is a 20'' Extra Dry Crash, used as a crash

black cymbal is a 20'' classic customs dark ride, used as a ride and a crash.

what do you mean two rides?

>>70771578
>snare hits off centre

good boy

right off the bat I'm looking at about a G worth of cymbals, bet they sound great

can't get the make on the kit, looks Jap, maybe Tama. Yamaha Doubles are the best price to performance pedal on the market. Cobra stands are a bit overkill but it's good to have durability.

Snare hits are off center, so you've probly been playing a while and started utilizing the rim.

9/10 - if you switched to evans g1 coated you would have an easier time controlling sound; less need for moongel/richie rings

What would I be looking at for a reasonable gigging kit? Basic cymbal set up and three toms so nothing extravagant.

Flexible budget, (already own a $2k v-kit) just want some sturdy gear.

>>70773160
thanks, yeah but I've got a lot to still learn :D

I'm going through stick control now but leading with my left hand so I can play open handed naturally. Basically rewrote the exercises so r=l and vice-versa.

Next time I replace the heads I'm definitely trying evans but I'm thinking of clears. Kit is a decent entry level Ludwig, mid 2000s.

I love those yamaha pedals, I actually got them on sale for 100$ about 10 years ago.

>>70773346
Do: Yamaha, Tama, Grestch, Ludwig
Don't: any other no name brand or PDP aka the Squire of drums


if you want high quality cymbals at a very low price check out dream cymbals the new hottest brand.

Pacific by DW is made in their Mexico factory, but otherwise, they use the same UP Michigan maple and birch as the expensive kits, just make sure it's the higher end models with the 10 lug snares/kicks, cost ya about 650 USD

if you want cheap bronze, Paiste makes the best throwaway cymbals 2-300USD, if you want good, an A Zildjian prepack will be around 6-700USD (already getting pricey, right?)

best bet is used, the value drops dramatically, ebay or craigslist or sometimes GC

>>70773386
fuck, my first thought was Ludwig but the finish made me second guess myself

>>70773436
>PDP aka the Squire of drums

see above

by throwaway, I mean the PST 3 and 5 series that come in a pack, when you're talking realio-dealio Paiste, they get pricey and sound like heaven

>>70772709
Ah. Thought the left one was a ride too. My bad.
I can't say anything, I have two snares.

>no axis pedals
>Not spending $500 just on pedals

>>70774909
you eat a lot of burritos

Beautiful cymbals OP. I tried the single mounted tom and floor tom setup but went back to two. It's not necessary for what I seriously play but I mostly play alone and it's more fun with two.

I was gonna buy some new drum gear with my tax return but I ended up spending it all on a keyboard and synth and a nice desktop for Ableton/recording. Hopefully that wasn't a mistake.

>>70771578
kit looks good but why that cheap yamaha pedal tho

>>70775005

I just bought these 7As in >>70775056

They feel so good for doing blasts. Had 5As before and I'm surprised at what a difference it makes.

>>70775048
yeah i agree. i used to use 7As

asking again because why not

how do you revert from cross stick to normal grip seamlessly? I keep missing a snare hit or even dropping it

>>70775048
lol I'm >>70774909 and I don't even play heavy sticks or whatever. I'm just broke af. The cymbals are the first cymbals I got when I started playing that used to sit in my attic with no temperature control before I learned any technique and I could never afford to replace them. When I play live I don't use these cymbals but desu if I'm playing some trashy punk shit it could work lol.

>>70771620
>he has a double bass pedal

lmfao

>>70773346
depends on what kind of gigging you're doing. most of /mu/ drummers seem to be into metal or rock so if thats the case with you, yamaha stage custom for ~750 or a gretsch catalina maple for ~700, they may have gone up in price. just make sure to get good heads like remo ambassador on your snare and maybe some aquarians on your toms and a remo power stroke 3/aquarian super kick on the BD. the cymbals is where it's at, you don't need to drop mad $$$ on cymbals, but it's worth it and all you really need is a floor tom, snare and BD with a ride, crash and HH. that's my gig set up and I play anywhere between 2 - 5 nights a week depending on the time of year.

>>70775005
Peter Erskine ride cymbal stick masterrace
Also have some prototype vic tenor sticks that were given to DCI groups to test that are retarded heavy, use that when I rep stick control with buddies on a pillow

>>70775056
get better cymbals, why the fuck are you taping your shit? those pedals are great but fix the fucking left spring for fuck sakes.
>blasts
gee no wonder

>>70775065
those yamahas are like 69$ before tax and they're great for heel down/jazz playing and hip-hop/funk shit. it's very easy too play. I personally play on a dw5000. eventually loooking to upgrade to 9000

>>70775202
traditional grip -> cross stick > traditional -> match grip
or you can not be a pleb and do a half stick flip like I do. only reason I do that is because I play lefty and played a lot of marching percussion in my youth so my traditional is standard trad with the left hand holding the stick trad vs a lefty trad which is right stick trad. so I just flip my sticks, I used to do it in marching shows so im used to it. just flip your sticks during the day for like 6 months you'll get used to it.
