It's definitely paint, not wrap. Another photo shows some scrapes in the finish. Also, does look like a 24" kick to you? The toms look like 13, 16.

This thing sounds awesome. I've now got a samsun, a zilzen/turkish, and a mehteran. These turkish handmade cymbals are just outstanding. I love my k's and stuff, but this is just so buttery and musical.

Question Pearl Wild 900 15” hats

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

i’ve bought a drum kit solely because i saw a steel free floating snare drum and it was too good to pass.

It came with these hats, which i know they are “Pearl Rudes” but i can’t seem to find 15” hats anywhere on the web.

Can you help me access its rarity and possibly how much they are worth?

I’m selling them since i don’t need them!

Question New Drums Day! I have a couple of questions about what i got.

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Got this for 300e today. Used of course.

I mainly went for it for the 3 cymbals, but I couldn't find much about the specific model of the kit. Outside of one Tama Rockstar tom there's a Premier kick and two toms.

The cymbals are Zildjian K Dark Crashes, 15" and 17".

In total there's:

- A Premier kit with two toms

- A tama rockstar tom

- Peace snare

- Meinl Roman Mark 70 hi hats, from when Germany was still "West Germany",

- Zildjian K 15" and K 17" Dark Crash Thins, from id say 90s or earlier

- some Pearl hardware and a Ludwig hi hat stand

- Meinl Stick bag

1) Do you think that was a steal or what its worth?

2) Can anyone help me identify what kind of model the premier is, or in fact anything about it really?

3) Any info on the Meinl hats? Couldn't clearly find what they're even supposed to be made of.

4) Any ideas on the snare? I dont think it sounds great but that could be the old head and the fact it seriously needs tuning.

5) Any way to find out if the hardware is good quality or not? Just curious if it'd be better to keep these or brand new Millennium stands i bought a few months ago, in terms of longevity.

6) Any way to repair the crack appearing on the underside of the 17" K?

7) If that was a good deal and I were to resell it, ballpark what you think value would be?

I hope thats not too many questions!

I'm really looking forward to having time to actually try it out properly tomorrow.

Question 2nd hand Paiste 2002 classic 20" ride, good deal?

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Recently came across a 2nd hand 2002 20" ride for €239.99 and figured I'd ask here in case some kind strangers had some good advice.

I know the pictures aren't great but there was no cracks visible, few smudges but nothing a quick clean wouldn't fix, bell seems to be in perfect condition too.

I'm currently playing a full set of Pst7 heavies and want to stick with paiste so I think it's a logical step and could save a handy €120 compared with the price for a brand new one. Any thought on the price/deal or how it would fit into my current set up would be much appreciated!

Question DW kit for $650 worth?

Is this deal worth it at all?

$650 I don’t know much about dw I know they’re generally expensive but these seem a little rough. I think the badge says they’re all maple and he said small sizes so I’m guessing 18 inch kick.

I'm super curious to hear how loud these hits are and I can't find anything on youtube of it. The Drumeo guy said he could hear a lot of power but he might've just been gassing him up lol

Question Bosphorous black pearl clap stack

3 Upvotes

I went to a drum store today to try some clap stacks, particularly the Istanbul one. They had a meinl one, the Istanbul one and a boshporous black pearl one. I didn’t love the meinl one but the Istanbul and bosphorous ones and head to head right now. The issue is that there are no videos on it anywhere or reviews of any sort. I’ve got my videos that I took but nothing else and was wondering if anyone had any personal reviews/experiences or knew somewhere that I could find some

Is there a difference on how I roll if the roll starts with a half note and what do I play on that little 16th note? This is a solo that’s all about diddles and rolls

Question tambourine on bass drum instead of cowbell?

has anyone tried to put a tambourine on a drum bass mount instead of a cowbell? does it ring when hitting the bass drum or is it fine? cause it’s a very comfortable position, but i’m worried it would ring at every bass drum hit

Just got a new practice pad and did some training tonight. Trying to count the beat in English made me laugh out loud. Still have no idea how to use those "1 e & a" counts 🫠.

Dreaming of being a cool drummer, but watching my playback always makes me look so silly. I can't stop laughing 😂
