awesome grooves man, really like the sound of ur kit. how difficult was it to get the chimes cut? how much did it cost you?

[xCrumblingMirth]

thanks! The chimes were indeed a pain to create - lots of struggling with dull tin-snips and then little red-hot bits of bronze flying all over during the part where i used a bench-grinder to round them out. One of them has cracked at the edges, but it's no big deal - i bought a heap of old broken cymbals (Zildjian Ks and As) from a friend for about 100 bucks, so it's really cheap. The time and tools are the only other cost. That, and the hospital visit when you slice your hand :)

[andrietube]

Tell me why you chose Wuhans instead of Zildjians china? are they any better??? really keen to know.

[xCrumblingMirth]

well they're pretty cheap, and they have a nice trashy sound, and quick decay :) I'd really love a nice K china at some point, but i really can't justify spending the money on it right now as I've got 3 perfectly working chinas - 20", 16", and 12"

You are very harrison oriented, i can see alot of PT fills haha. you should try timing your snare more 1 and 2 instead of always placing your ghost notes around three and four, just to try something new. I also didn't hear one beat the focused on the bass drum, it would be nice to hear that too instead of all ghost notes and fills ya know? Just an oppinion, lemme know what you think dude.

[xCrumblingMirth]

thanks man, you're right, i definitely need to alter my snare hits from their usual spots in the bar - I've been working on soloing over the past two months (i had signed up for a competition) and have really made good progress in that regard. Something that's really helped has been playing all sorts of ostinatos on the snare with my left hand, while playing a samba beat with the ol' (x-xxx-xxx-xxx) on the ride

thanks for the tips man!

@REDMAX777 You should just get a decent "big" size, such as a 18".

[DiobloHunter]

This kit is legendary man...you have tuned it beyond perfection and you sound amazing.

[riddletha]

When you play the double gostnotes on the snare, try to play them fully in stead of using a press roll, then you get a much opener sound. But really nice sound and grove.

[Alexawrgren]

I see you have a lot of Gavin Harrison influence ! And that's good ! You are awesome men ! (:

[Alexodrummer1]

tight up your snare for some grooving and funky sound !

[isaimcbreinguitar]

amazing

[willshiznit86]

dude, just a pinter, when your not doing anything with your left hand, dont let it rest on the snare drum. lift it up! it helps not giving off any extra accidental ghost notes.

[MALSIV]

I see you like Harrison :P

[drumsticks135]

Great sounding kit man! Do you know how much higher or lower (in terms of intervals) your snare-side head is compared to the top?

[hawaiidoves]

Looks like you are having fun! Sounds great.

[KouruptDrummer]

@xCrumblingMirth wish i had a friend to sell me k cymbals for 100 bucks.....

[arhyth]

wow! no wonder your kit sounds so good. it's sonor. awesome kit man.
