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.

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.

Feedback Wanted Should I buy this K Constantinople 22" ride off of Facebook?

The pictures look legit and the price feels like a great deal. It's still a hefty price...but I'm really thinking about going for it. Is this actually a good deal? Is there anything I should be worried about with FB marketplace cymbals / purchasing K Constantinople Mediums online?

The weight is 2686g

Discussion I need a drummer

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’d like to know if there are any drummers here who would be interested in starting an original music project. The style would be something along the lines of alternative metal, nu metal, or modern metal.

I’m currently a guitarist, but I also play bass, record music, and do other things related to music production. I already have riffs and ideas, but ideally, I’d love to find a drummer who can help bring this project to life.

The project would be entirely remote, with each of us recording our own parts and combining everything online. We could collaborate on the music, develop our ideas together, and eventually come up with a name for the project.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message! I hope I’m posting in the right group.

Cheers, and thanks! 🤘

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.

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

1st commissioned custom snare build for my drum mentor Foz. He dubbed it “Frankensnare“ fitting for the fact that I robbed pieces from my snare graveyard.

Question Looking to improve

5 Upvotes

I've wanted to drum my entire life as a 30yo. Finally two months in and i'm wondering if someone could give me some pointers in advancement.

I'm using stick control + a pad whenever I can to get better with sticking. I'm finding songs I like on Youtube and looking for sheet music/ just trying to play along. For ear I'm trying to play with rap music to work on my own creativity.

Overall I think it's going very well. I'd like to say I sound like I'm drumming which is neat. What advice would you offer and are lessons a huge upgrade? My plan is to get lessons after a year of self teachings.

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.
