Talking to each other on two different threads! LOL!

Anyway, it makes sense that the sound of a played in, or broken in, cymbal is the combination pf all those factors.
For whatever reasons, I also have a 20" K Custom Medium Ride, it does not seem to have changed in sound much thru the years.
Dunno why that is......a different manufacturing process, perhaps?

 

Just kind of happened that way, haha. biggrin.gif

 

If it turns out to be the case, agreed.

Crappy picture featuring my dream hi-hats I acquired a while back, 16" Paiste Twenty Medium Lights. They are everything I imagined and more. tongue.gif Also been messing around with this side by side snare configuration and it's actually quite awesome.

 

 

Those are some spare EC2s placed upside down on top of coated emperors on the toms. There are moongels inside on the resos as well. Thick low sound with short sustain.

Even though this thread hasn't sparked much interest, it's severely lacking in photos. wink_face.gif Been tracking drums for an EP for the last 5 days. Took some quick pictures:

Slightly Head-fi related. There's some Ety mc5's sitting on the throne there. Also that's not me in the picture, haha. The drums are nothing notable, just some birch PDPs, except for the snare drum, which is a Mapex Blonde Birdseye Maple Black Panther 13"x6". Snare is Vintage Emperor over Black Suede, toms are Vintage Emperor over Coated Ambassador, bass is Powerstroke 4 and I think an Emad on the reso side. Normally I don't set up my cymbals quite that way, but I was trying to get them all picked up by the microphones more evenly.

DID YOU JUST SAY YOU'RE USING A BLACK SUEDE FOR A RESONANT HEAD? I've never seen that done. How does it sound?

I used to have a set of AAXs. Not my style, but nice cymbals nonetheless.

It's not a regular thickness Black Suede if that's what you were thinking, haha. They make 4-mil black suede snare sides as well. I didn't try really hard to do a detailed comparison or anything, but coming from a more typical Hazy Ambassador, it made the drum sound a little thicker and warmer which I love. I get the feeling that the textured vs clear surface adds something nice as well.

Perhaps this isn't the place to ask, but as close as I could find. I'm curious which earphones / headphones are most commonly and effectively used for set drumming? I play in a band and have been experimenting with various types (in-ear, on-ear, over-ear) but haven't found the best monitor phones that will accommodate a head-worn microphone, as well. Any suggestions?
