kazzman Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks guys. :) @Launch. Yeah you could say that, haha. I picked up a gig with a symphonic metal band called Second Empire. When I'm not playing with them I'll be doing fill-in or session work around town whenever I can. Gotta pay the bills somehow, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaninglessphoto Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Kazz, how is that Holy China treating you? Ive heard that it is absurdly loud. Ive been thinking about picking up the 21" version of it. Is it clangy at all or is it all attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Aubrey Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I've added some gear to the old e-kit recently. I've got a pedal-mounted LP cowbell, a rack-mounted tambourine that attached nicely to the cymbal arm (really lovin'the sound I get out of it) and a triangle. The cowbell was way too ringy at first so I filled it with that spray foam and problem solved! I get that nice "tunk tunk" sound out of it now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been thinking about picking up the 21" version of it. Is it clangy at all or is it all attack? Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier man. It's very loud and has a very quick attack. If you like a china with a quick attack and a fast decay then you'll love this one. To give you an idea of how the 21" sounds here's a clip from a drum clinic we did at the drum shop I run with Ray Luzier from Korn back in April: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theparadiddler Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hello all. This will be my first post to this forum, so you're welcome (I mean, um, thanks for the opportunity!) :) So here's my kit, but in lieu of just listing the gear, I've created a video with yours truly putting it together. Of course, with our favorite band providing the accompanying music. If you have any questions, ask away! http://youtu.be/VfvsW1unWwk Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFEman Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Quite a bit of nice replica-ish kits floating around. My turn. My kit is a Ddrum d2 5 piece kit with the *" and 14" add on kit for the toms. I use Remo heads on the 10" and 12" rack toms. the toms go from left to right:8", 10", 12", 14", 16". Stock snare.Groove percussion 3.5x13" piccolo snare. Cymbals R->L: Meinl HCS 14" Hi-hats, Sabian B8 18" Thin Crash, Zildjian ZBT 14" Crash, 13" stock Hi-hats on a adjusted X-hat mount on a stand, Wuhan 18" Crash/Ride (Used as a ride), Meinl HCS 8" Splash, Wuhan 12" Splash, Meinl HCS 18" China. Sound Percussion Double kick pedals. Ludwig Bell kit Ddrum DD1 Electronic drum kit (5pc.) Treeworks Tre23 chimes 3 and 6" cowbells placed under the meinl china I tried my best to replicate Neil's current-style kit. The only difference is that the ride isn't in the right spot. The placement that works for Neil does NOT for me. Edited February 20, 2014 by TFEman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I don't really do the big "hero" fills like Neil does, so having only one tom is not much of a loss.

Jaminbenb Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 OK...the 10 and 12 toms were an impulse buy..I had the 6 and 8 forever..but when I was putzing around on E-Bay last week, I saw the 10 & 12 of the same "vintage" as my others....I just set them up and haven't really moved anything but I played some of 2112 (Overture through Temples of Syrinx) for the first time with concert toms! ;-) Just snapped this quick with my cell phone.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/jaminbenb/IMAG00621.jpg Wow...saw this was still up.... I removed the concert toms and put away the electronics...here's what I play at the moment...(although I need a band) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v284/jaminbenb/2015-03-05%2016.31.06_zpsjpyatzhd.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanMeanPride Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 My dad and I are working on a replica of the Tama Candy Apple Reds (using Superstars). So far though, we only have two concert toms. These drums are in very high demand! If anyone knows of any for sale, let me know! I'm in the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
