"Quite happy with how this came out, odd mistake here and there, but Im pretty happy with it. Also Have a mastered 720P HD version of this vid, having trouble uploading it so far though, will probably try to in future.
Few bits of info for anyone interested :
ABOUT STAGG CYMBALS :
The one's Ive used so far are great quality/sound imo,
especially the Myra Crash, which is similar to Z Custom.
The Ride is a monster, especially in weight!!
These cymbals are cheap as sh** compared to top brands.
Really loving the 12" DH China at moment, great!!
HD-8Z or DXG-595V Full HD Camcorder :
This camera is awesome, especially for the price.
The results in 1080P mode can be very impressive,
and Ive managed to shoot in quality that rivals newest Blu-Ray releases, trick is to have really strong lighting.
Thanks for watching.

you suck!!!!!!!!!

[WookieUlrich]

@ronnieallen19 ha ha that's awesome!

[wcvj91608]

wats ur opinion on that snare? i found one on ebay used for 175 and i want=] but idk exactly wat to expect

[WookieUlrich]

@wcvj91608 hey there, the snare drum has a great tuning range, as Ive had it tuned very high (like this vid!) to a nice medium-low pitch, and with the 7" depth, it has great body/warmth. Just wish it had die-cast hoops, as rim shots arent as cutting as I'd like them to be, but then it is only a 12" shell. But overall a great snare that not only accomodates a variety of styles, but also sits great in any set-up because of it's compact size. Hope this helps.

[notimetokill]

The snare is a bit ringy for my tastes but great drumming man. Your timing is impeccable.

[Zdrummer95]

3:47 on is epic man, good job!

[jewis101]

nice! but that ringing coming off your snare is giving a headache! what do you think you stagg cymbals? thinking of gettin some

[WookieUlrich]

@AmbitiousMOnkey1100 - i there, like most cymbals, if theyre looked after properly, can last you years! Ive had my 16" Myra Crash for about 2 years now, and it's still in mint condition! :) Great cymbals, Myra range is awesome, and remind me a lot of Zildjian's Z Custom (now called something else) range. Hope this helps!

[AmbitiousMOnkey1100]

@WookieUlrich how durable are the myras??

[Cong89my]

@WookieUlrich hi, how about sabian HHX?

[lordoscarrr]

dude man great drumming, but please do something about that snare , i think its almost the most important think on a drumset that the snaredrum sound good, but otherwise sounds pretty good :)

[allkjulio]

@sonorrocker

can you ship to mexico?

[allkjulio]

What is the equivalent on zildjian series to DH series?

[sonorrocker]

do you want any more stagg cymbals ill sell them to you.

[Underscore2112]

@goody8504 Not if you're using French grip.

[XavierElliotAlexzndr]

ugly sounding snare! But your a good drummer!

[Colerosity]

That set could use a nice tuning, but you're a great drummer. Nice.

[CkSandwich]

im kinda wanting to steal that snare of yours

[TommyOwnzU]

thats one hell of kit mate

[goody8504]

thumbs go on the sides of the sticks, not on top

[Deathstorm3]

i'dd say the stagg vintage bronze come disturbingly (yup) close to the Zildjian K's ;) the classics are more in the direction of old avedis cymbals

[drummermatt88]

if you want to see fills to this song you should check out the modern drummer performance, spears goes off. I like the interpretation, nice job.

[a1gold174]

Thanks.

[WookieUlrich]

Stagg Myra = Z Custom / Z3 series

Stagg Classic = Zildjian K's

[a1gold174]

What is the best cymbal line Stagg produces? The equivalent of a Zildjain's K?

[frfsssful]

it's cool
