greg, you wouldn't happen to have too many 2002's would you? I'd be more than happy to take some of them off you if you don't need them, I'll pay for the shipping, priority international obviously :p;)

It feels like 4th world sometimes :D

Hi all, I'm just wanting to get into good habits early so... in your opinion which is the best stick grip for quiet, speedy, dynamic playing? I have no interest in generating power, I just want to make sure that I optimise my playing for a jazzy kind of style. I know there is traditional, but I...

The problem with me & it's probably the same with pandamonk is that where we are situated in scotland we have no (& i mean no :D) shops that have a decent selection of cymbals to try. we're stuck with buying from the internet. due to the fact of not being able to try lots of cymbals and pick the...

you have to remember that some of us don't live in the usa on this forum :rolleyes: the thread starter and i are from the uk ;) 101 = £35 ($55.46) pst3 = £45 ($71.30) b8= £90 ($142.60) not including p&p, do you still believe that's not that different greg? :D nothing wrong with my math...

the b8 hats are almost 3 times the cost of the 101s & also double the price of the pst 3 hats. :(

There must be something in what you were originally arguing then lee, I thought the 101s were the only brass cymbals. I've picked out the only other brass cymbal family apart from the 101s just by listening to the samples. Do you rate the b8s higher than the paistes then greg? I guess you're...

Out of all of the lower end paiste hats (101 - pst 5), which do you all... not hate the most? Please don't say you hate them all :p, if all of us could afford to go out and buy £250 hats we probably wouldn't be having this discussion! ;) The pst 3 hats get my vote, generally they sound better...

lol I wasn't too hopeful of being able to put a formula to things, least I tried though!! :p Lee, I wonder if buying lower-end hihats would be a step back for you. The DH hats (I've heard & read) are a little trashy sounding - is this what you don't like about them? Other than that all I can...

Learning a lot here So what I can guess from this is... Cheap cymbals that don't sound like ass (not the horrible unusable thin beginner cymbals) must be a thicker cymbal (perhaps cheaper & easier to manufacture a thick cymbal that sounds musical than a thin cymbal that sounds musical?). As...

sorry if i'm jacking the thread I was surprised at how musical the lower end hats were though. They may not have the characteristics that would make them sound good in a recording or cut through so that they sound good live, but they don't have horrid overtones that, well I've witnessed in crap...

how long before someone mentions the recorderman method? ... oops, mabad :p

no, unless your name is phil spector :D

lee, impressed by the cymbals in that recording, although I like the high pitch they seem not to have the sustain I'm looking for. I don't know if the larger DH's would sound as nice to the ear but perhaps they'd be best in my present circumstances (i'm poor) where did you buy the dh's at that...

A post that is as correct as it is nice :) You didn't create any hard feelings, i just am passionate about what I believe... and a little over passionate when it comes to music, but we all are on here! It's just a little sad when someone's passionate views can come across as arrogance or...

:d:d:d...:d:d:d

sorry man I thought you meant that you hate Polish people, that wouldn't be any kind of good whatsoever:p

I was sold a laptop for £50!! It's not super high spec, but does everything i need it to do. And.. I thought a good way of learning how to read scores would be to start writing them, it's working really well & I'm kind of enjoying it aswell. Writing rthym is pretty tricky at times, especially...

Thanks for boosting my paranoia, again nothing seems to have been noted of the personal attacks I've recieved, but hey it's easy to pick on me isn't it? :eek: I have already stated that I do see the merit in knowing musical theory, and if I have the time I'll learn it. But I have a problem with...

Kell microphones don't seem to be available in the uk. The SM81 is way out of my price range at £280 I'm looking to spend around £100. I tried recording last week and had very limited success again, it's so frustrating not having decent instruments and recording equipment. If I had good gear...
