    I might be able to help. A friend of mine has a load of stuff he's trying to sell. he said something about throwing 1000quid worth of cymbals in with a kit he is selling. So he might do a deal.

    nice man!,i would be very interested in some of this kit if he is willing to sell seperate

    let me know

    thanks:up:

    i played some zxt's the other day and there are alright but not really the sound i like,also now that i am getting into drums i think i may be getting fussy,because i do not like the sounds of recent hi-hats i have been playing and also some bass drums are funny sounding(prob need a tune)

    i think i will look into some serious gear in the new year,but if any drummers are selling any gear,giz a shout:up:

    p.s-thanks for all the positive replys/feedback

    well i aint to sure what kind of sound i want as i aint really developed one yet

    but i seem to play more punk/grunge than anything i remember playing an AA or AAX ( i think they were called) and they sounded mint and at gigs i used other drummers "custom" cymbals which are class

    at cap toms last week i used an ORION crash which was total pants,i think i prob need to devlop/progress more technically before i find my sound,like i say i can only play basic stuff really

    here is a typical me drumming blitzkreig bop and dropping my stick ha ha

    ha ha,every drummer has a different opinion/idea!

    are splash cymbals any good? couple cheap ones on ebay,one is a sabian xs 10" and the other is a paiste PST5 8"?

    i'm sure they are not amazing as they are only 20 quidish but i was just wondering if they are half decent sounding to annihilate?

    i like the sound of these a-customs lads but i am a hard hitter and not 100% sure on the hitting position of a cymbal so do you think i should get some cheapo's to batter until i learn the nessacary skills to play quality cymbals?

    tho i have been watching alot of drum vids on youtube(only teaching i'm getting just now) and i can roughly see where to hit,tho there appears to be no 2 drummers the same!haha

    Check out the Sabian Pro/AA lines or Zildjian A/A Customs. These are probably your best bet once you get beyond "entry level" cymbals but dont want to spend the earth.

    Prices are still on the reasonably expensive side, but miles cheaper than the top of the range lines eg. Sabian HH, or Zildjian K/K Custom.

    All that said, my experience is that people often crack cymbals cos they're smashing the edges and not playing on the bow of the cymbal. Playing cymbals with good technique is as effective a way of prolonging cymbal life as anything. Obviously good quality gear helps, but if your battering the edges of good quality cymbals, you'll crack them eventually too.

    this is an interstning point man,i aint really noticed how i hit them,i have not cracked any cymbals tho,that being said,is there a "correct" way/height to have the cymbal stands etc to prevent incorrect hitting?

    prob a stupid question and each to there own on how to set a kit but a few ppl have pointed out that having everythin low and flat is the best way and not high and angled!

    like i say more or less new to drumming but looking for all the advice i can get before taking it to the stage and more than likely leading to a slating for not doing things the right way and me looking like an ass!!

    cheers for the advice lads!!
