RE: Building My New Dream Drum Setup | TAMA Club Jam, Mod-Bubinga Snare & Hand-Forged Agean Cymbals! š„š

Ah cool that you have that kit too. I know itĀ“s not a high end kit. The Mapex Mars Bebop for example which I also played is quite a bit better due to the other kind of wood it has. But I changed every drumhead and put expensive ones on it, and that made the sound like 1000% better. The drumkit itself only makes like 30% of the sound, the drumheads the other 70%. So that is the most important step.
So now it sounds very very good. Also on stage with microphones.
Yes the snare is a huge difference. Worth the money for sure. Too bad that you donĀ“t have too many drum shops near. I am lucky where I live.
Yeah Zultan is quite good too! True. You could also buy cymbals and a drumkit for 10k or more haha. Expensive hobby we have.
Thank you so much! =) Gig season didnĀ“t go well for me this year. But we have more gigs starting from August, so I hope to be able to play more then.
Have fun with your gigs!!
I have changed the head on my snare and will look at doing the others. I think you get better fittings when you pay more. I have noticed that the bass drum head can slip in a bit when transporting it, but then I don't have proper bags. At least you can upgrade in stages as you can afford it. There are cymbals that cost about as much as my whole kit!
Yeah the heads are doing the biggest difference actually.
Ah proper bags is also a very important thing I realized. Especially if you go to gigs and itĀ“s very warm. Last gig my new resonance head of the snare broke due to not having a bag, so now I bought bags for all. :D
ThatĀ“s the good thing about drums, upgrade in stages.. Oh yes the cymbals I want cost around 1400 Euros. That is alot. But I will just buy one after the other.
