any video footage

?

closed_gate · 12th June 2007, 5:22 PM

i am currently enquiring about that, There were camera's around, but because 3 groups were on one side of the building and our group was down stairs on the other side of the building would be hard to get all of us. but i will see what i can dig up. and then it will be hitting the y to the tube.

This kit is some of my kit, not the whole shebang)

Do you still have the shitty facial expression?

jokes

nice kit man, i like the whole colour changing thing

:P

umm

what school do you go to :S ?

dantheman65 · 14th June 2007, 7:56 PM

Why so many top-end cymbals but a 'mediocre' kit?

Audi-Tone · 14th June 2007, 8:55 PM

hmm, not my kinda style of music..

but good on ya..

i can see why people always break sticks though... personally i haven't broken a stick/mallet in about 7years.. each to their own though

closed_gate · 14th June 2007, 10:28 PM

that video wass really good.

How old are you mate. You are definatly in.

Same question though, What is with the low end kit? just the fact you got so many parts? I would like to see a small section of the kit set up, from like your door. what i find a good shot is a photo from above, stand on your stool and take it. It would be good.

HOw long have you been learning cause your stick control is quite astounding.

Thanks, I'm 18 years of age and playing for about 11 years, maybe 8 of them learning.

Although many of you think of the export as a low end kit, the way I have it tuned makes it sound gold, here is a sound file of my kit in the studio with minimal EQ and compression etc on it.

Here is an older setup of my kit outside one time. Its not the full kit, by the 7 Piece size I was using regulary at the time.

sweet, That recording was quite good. drums sound really decent.

Why do you have a dixon stool if everything else is pearl :P not to worry, I still have the dixon stool from my first kit. It's a nice wine red, look quite good with the black hardware,

HOw come you mount your toms so high? Bit of a Mike Bordin style :P

Overall I like your kit for a pearl (I don't like pearl)

gavlewis · 15th June 2007, 3:42 PM

Stool came with the original 5 piece kit, haven't bothered to upgrade it cause it does the job alright.

No idea why I mount the toms to so high, they're comfortable like that. I sit resonably high so I reach them without hitting the rims really easily.

If i were to buy a pearl kit after i sell my forum. I would probably only get a reference. that;s it. Mates got a MMX with 24k gold hardware.

I can't really complain, cause my next kit will be a roulette. damn, they are really deep, 12x6 tom i was using the other day was really deep, but it was good.

Dakwota · 15th June 2007, 8:10 PM

I like the way your kit is set up in that last one. I'm thinking of getting something similar, minus the floor tom left of hats. (selling my current kit, getting a pro M).

Nice recording btw, toms sound nice

LittleMsNatty · 22nd June 2007, 11:50 PM

Ashton kit (22" Bass, 14" Snare, 12",13",16" Toms)
Sabian B8 14" Hi-Hat, 16" Crash, 20" Ride
Aquarian Response 2 batter heads clear on the toms, coated on the snare, Remo encore snare side, Remo powerstroke 3 on the bass
