yh i was thinking going for ambasador coated heads or maybe coated emporers like stewart on the toms what do you suggest for the bass drum I was thinking a remo cs black dot?
I have a set of cymbals allready and I managed to get hold of a pair of paiste 602" medium 13" hats a few weeks back and they are brilliant.

I have nothing but respect for Tama's entry-level stuff. I have a set of Rockstar DX from 1992. They served me well for years until I could afford something better. My only complaint is that after a while, the covering on the bass drum hoops began to come loose.

Secret, get a sturdy bass drum head, something at least 2-ply. Evans makes some killer skins with built-in muffling. I have an EQ3 on mine.

My mom has that same orange drumset i think.

I'm still partial to the Sparkly Greens...they were just so very, well...GREEN.

Heh- I have a circa 94 set of Rockstar DX's as well! Coated Emporers all around except the snare's an ambassador, and the bass is a powerstroke 2 (love it!).

Spec A!: do you still have anthing inside kick drum to muffle or do the ps3s not need?

Hey Secret, I'd love to hear the story behind you finding those Paiste 602's!

by **Spec A!** on 27 Feb 2007 03:37

I've only ever muffled when recording- otherwise it's totally resonant and I like it!

ah, cool

Re: formula 602s I've seen some on ebay recently (I go there and drool often!)...they cycle in, varying conditions

anyone have some good pictures of this kit or more specificly any old drumming magazines featuring stewarts set-up, maybe some one would do me the kindness of some magazine scans? lol

hi yes im sorry to say my story of finding these babys is not that interesting as I managed to get a pair on ebay in really great condition all the blue labels clearly intact, no cracks, no keyholing and not much discolouration to the cymbal managed to get them for around £200 pounds i think thats roughly 400 dollars these days?

I love this thread. Drum geeks... sigh!
Makes me long for the old days. Somebody tell me the secret of how to still play (& not spark petitions) when you live in the burbs in a semi-detached! :wink:

I don't use them but I have read reviews and seen many peeps give the mesh drum heads a thumbs up for silencing in apartment/shared wall living scenarios, since they deaden enough sound are actual heads and mimic actual drum head response better than other mutes etc...but, as I said, I haven't used them...I go for the iso headphones for myself and the outside world be damned strategy /grin

The Police reunion shows you that you can 'live' the old days and not just long for them!

Seeing this is clearly where the drummers are hanging out- I have a question. I've been wanting to buy Stewart's signature snare for a long time, I finally have the funds. Does anyone here have one? I've yet to give one a test drive, so I'm curious. From everything I've read it's an incredible snare. I'd love to get your thoughts.
Cheers,
S.
