TRADING / WANTED thread.

Alright, gotta get focused on drums again. the three things I need to get back into playing seriously are as follows - Trick Bigfoot double pedal, Hammerax 16" or 18" Hell Hat, and Paiste 24" 2002 Reverend Al ride. Yes all of these things are gobs of money, but I figure as long as I'm replacing things I might as well get what I really want. I'm not really married to the ride, but I do need a classic sounding, crashable ride that is at least 24". I already have a 24" 2002 ride that I use exclusively as a crash, and it needs a playmate. The pedal and the Hell Hat I'm firm on. If you blokes see any screaming deals, feel free to send them my way.

I'm looking for a useable electric guitar for less than 50 dollars. Beat up but not broken.

I don't have any specific gear to offer, but if the Big Al ride/crash is hard to come by/expensive, try the 24" Giant Beat. I'm using that, and a 2002 24" crash, and couldn't be happier. (I'd still add a Big Al, and maybe a Rude 24" Eclipse, If I could find them, but...)

Ya, I'm loving my 24" Dream Bliss Ride/Crash - has that great wobble/dark crash sound, fuck-all
bell but it's a sweet-ass sound. Great deal for the price.

Discö Rice · March 08, 2011, 06:07:41 PM

I looked into those dream cymbals - it seems the only 24" ride they have is a small bell flat ride. I did see that they do custom cymbals, though. That's exciting.

Jon - My concern about the giant beat and the big al is comparative volume and durability. Listening on Paiste's website the big al seems to open up more, which is nice, but I don't like seeing "thin" in the description of a cymbal I might be purchasing, unless it's a china. I'm sure you're a slugger too, so maybe durability isn't really an issue. For the money though, I think the 24" 2002 crash sounded very cool and pushed a bit more volume. Also the "medium" weight makes me a little more relaxed about buying it.

justJon · March 08, 2011, 07:14:43 PM

Volume is NOT a problem with the GB. I haven't had any issues with durability with any Paiste cymbal, to be honest. Over the nearly 40 years I've been playing, I've cracked probably half a dozen Zildjian and others, never a Paiste.

Yes, I 'm a " slugger" (never thought of it that way!). I use Vic Firth "Metal" wood tip sticks, and mostly the shoulder of those. I do have good technique, that is, I don't come straight into the edge of the cymbal, but "glance" off a little bit, tends to lend a spin to the cymbals. I don't tighten them down, either. I don't use a top felt, and just let them swing.

To my ears, the 2002 24"crash, and the 24" GB are very complementary sounds. I ride more on the GB, but crash on them both. Those and the 16" "Twenty" series Hihats are the only cymbals on my kit. I wouldn't mind adding a couple other 24's just for variety, but I'm perfectly content to have just those.

For context, the rest of my kit is Ludwig 3-ply mahogany. 26" kick, 15" rack, 20" floor. No-one has ever worried about hearing me. ( Last sound check, the soundguy asked for snare, and i heard him mutter into my monitor,"Whoa! That's a LOUD snare!")

black · March 08, 2011, 07:57:25 PM

The soundguy wasn't the only one at that gig that said 'Whoa" when you cats fired up!

justJon · March 08, 2011, 08:03:24 PM

Heh.
In addition to being my online stalker, Black is a good friend, and fellow "Seasoned" player playing "heavy" music. And he can attest that volume is not an issue with my cymbal choices.

Discö Rice · March 08, 2011, 08:09:12 PM

Good info, man. Thanks! Maybe you can add some input to this, then - I'm eventually switching to a 26" or 28" bass drum. Right now I play a 22x32 (2 22x16's stuck together end to end), and I love how much it projects, even though the action is a little sluggish. Do you find that a 26" drum head slows your foot down significantly? Any idea how much worse a 28 would be?

justJon · March 08, 2011, 08:39:50 PM

It's really the depth that feels like it slows me down, more than the width. As a reference, even though he was god, Bonzo did all that crazy right foot triplet, couplet stuff on a 26"x14" kick.

I used to play a 24x18 kick, liked the sound, but found it sluggish in response.My 26x14 is louder, deeper, AND feels faster. I think it has to do with pneumatic response off the front head. I think if you stick with the shallower shell, you'll find that the rebound picks right up. Try it with a random 22x16 or 14 in a music store or in someone else's jam room. See if it doesn't work that way for you.

I also have a friend who plays a 22x22, and it sounds like a cannon, but I'm hard pressed to play anything requiring speed or precision on it.

VOLVO))) · March 31, 2011, 11:59:51 PM

What kind of bass overdrive?

hayseed · April 01, 2011, 09:28:39 AM

Not sure really. I am willing to try anything. I am using a Ibanez Tubescreamer(TS10) and i love the tone but it steals a bit too much low end for me. I might try a TS9 or even the new Bass Tubescreamer. I know i don't want fuzz or distortion(My buddy is using my Rat2 and i am selling the Bass MUff) .
Any suggestions?
