PhilsFriendMatt Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 hows the max stax sound ive looked at them but they seem kinda pricey for a somewhat limited cymbal in means of playing style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHands Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Great kit yyzyy! The Sabian Stax are great effects cymbals. Portnoy makes great use of them. Paiste has some stack cymbals. The Trash set is not as expensive and gives a similar sound. Check out their site. They have good sound samples... Paiste Cymbals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyzyy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think the max stax are worth the cash...they sound absolutely incredible when using the double kick at the same time...really really worth the cash and they look f***ing sweet too!!!

the masked drummer Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi TRF drummers, Got some new pics of my revised setup. I went back to double bass and I ended up mounting a 10" tom lower than normal, near my hihat. I'm not using electronics or triggering any more, but I am now using red colored LED's on my kick drum graphics and up thru my snare. At 1 minute 36 seconds you can see the LED's good for a few seconds on the kicks on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc6jN-joYOw . You can't see them on the stills: http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/kenamay/DSC07907.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/kenamay/DSC07913.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/kenamay/DSC07941.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j74/kenamay/DSC07947.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilsFriendMatt Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 So i went to guitar center and decided I needed a few cymbal sleeves. So I picked up some Yamahas for $4 then figured why not use the no interest or payments for a year while I could. Point of the story I walked out with my own handcrafted drum made on March 19th 2009. Collectors Series DW snare in Ebony Stain with black hardware. Pictures to come after I can pry myself away from playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilsFriendMatt Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 So I cracked my 16 in B8 crash playing the other day. I was going to upgrade just the one but decided to take in all my cymbals and just upgrade. I got an A custom pack on clearance for around $600 with the extended warranty after I traded mine in. Considering it's over $800 worth of cymbals separate without tax and extended warranty it's not too bad. Anyway i'm down a few cymbals for now but they sound better. I'm still using the B8 splash for now as well as the XS20 china. But I have a 18 in A custom fast crash, 16 in A custom crash, 14 in A custom hats and 20 in A custom medium ride. Sounds a lot better than my old B8's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
