I like the way you have your kit set up.  Looks like everything is within comfortable reach.

...man, those are sweet.  What are the specs?

  I went to Drums2go the other day and tap'd around on the Traditional Thins and I loved 'em.  They sound great.  As a matter of fact, they were the same cymbals that Chris Coleman used in his clinic down here.  Man, I didn't even know that the 20" Traditional Dry Ride is now discontinued until the owner told me.  What a shame.  That Ride sounds good. IMHO 

...I see the Ddrum is looking clean.  Beautiful, just beautiful.

Thanks Bruh. Ddrums are treating me very nice... and the looks are just,  :o :o. The Traditional Thin 16" is probably the best sounding crash I have ever heard. I am in love with it! Ya them discontinuing the Dry (Sandblasted) Series is just absurd. They had such an amazing texture to them.

Specs:
20" Byzance Dark Ride
20" Byzance Traditional China
18" Byzance Traditional Medium Thin Crash (Old Logo)

Oh, I can't really join in on the Shots Showdown ya'll are having. Considering my screenname it'll be open season on S------  :-X nevermind.

Hey Sugabear...The mounting system is completely removable. IT IS VERY HIDEOUS! That is probably one of my bigger complaints with Ddrums. The mounting system for my 10" tom is too wide. It almost feels as if it was made for an 11" tom. Yeah, I know they dont exist...I am making a point that the radius of the mounting system is too great. You have to really pull it in which adds extra tension to the rods. Kind of a pain. With all that being said. Get the ASH! They are good drums especially for the price.

I was just checking out the Pearl Optimounts. I just might switch them out.

Post by: Eccentric-Rhythm on April 08, 2007, 11:22:24 PM
OK....So The Record gets CLEARED UP. I no longer attend my home church. My Family & I moved away several years ago to take over a work in a larger city. We had a very small group when we started and they had no church facility yet. So we searched for a church of whom we can rent from and that is the church you see in the pictures. It is not our church. I would love to get rid of the carpet and the pews but the owners are happy with it the way it is. I had a hard enough time convincing them that they needed a sound system.

So I can take the criticism, but in my defense, my hands are tied.

Now, for a refresher, I posted a topic awhile back about us buying land to build our own church. Which is still in the works.

When in the mission field, establishing works, one cant always be picky.
I must say, leaving your home, job, friends and everything that you know, to go into the field and work for the Lord is a great blessing.

God Bless.

Thanks for the jabs.  ;D

Yo Pastey, My court was already in session. The outcome, your drums leave something to be desired.  ;D

I love my LGM fam. haha.

...when you guys build your new church, make sure they install a great sound system.  My church needs an upgrade. :'(  I feel where you're coming from though.  It took us about 4 years to convince my Pastor to get rid of the electronic kit to get an acoustic kit in there.

...we had a Roland TD 10 six piece.  It was the same price as the new TD20 6 piece when we bought it.  Roland's and Yamaha DTX's are where it's at for e-kits.  Dude, if your Pastor is trying to save money, E-kits aren't the way to go.  They get costly in the long run when you have to get 2 or 3 sensors fixed.  (Yes, the sensors go out if you don't know how to hit properly or regular wear and tear.)  I'm talking about anywhere from $30-$120 depending on the sensor and damage.  Trust me.  I played on one for 7 years.  Think about it.

...we had a Roland TD 10 six piece.  It was the same price as the new TD20 6 piece when we bought it.  Roland's and Yamaha DTX's are where it's at for e-kits.  Dude, if your Pastor is trying to save money, E-kits aren't the way to go.  They get costly in the long run when you have to get 2 or 3 sensors fixed.  (Yes, the sensors go out if you don't know how to hit properly or regular wear and tear.)  I'm talking about anywhere from $30-$120 depending on the sensor and damage.  Trust me.  I played on one for 7 years.  Think about it.

The old kit

No Im not thinking of buying one for church...I was talking to EC when I said that our pastor wanted to save money...We are moving into our church in June hopefully... Sorry I confused you J. ::)... Hey J is it possible to hook up a module from a DTX or TD-20 to a older model E-KIT? because a lady used to play drums but she lost her eye site and can move around like she used to, She wants to give it to me but I was thinking about getting an updated module because the kit is from the mid 90's...  :-\

Hey Sugabear...The mounting system is completely removable. IT IS VERY HIDEOUS! That is probably one of my bigger complaints with Ddrums. The mounting system for my 10" tom is too wide. It almost feels as if it was made for an 11" tom. Yeah, I know they dont exist...I am making a point that the radius of the mounting system is too great. You have to really pull it in which adds extra tension to the rods. Kind of a pain. With all that being said. Get the ASH! They are good drums especially for the price.

I was just checking out the Pearl Optimounts. I just might switch them out.

When I get my kit those are the exact mounts I'm thinking of switching my kit out for. The Pearl Mounts look cool, but besides that, I like the idea of the mount being connected to both ends of the toms, not putting to much strain on one rim.ß

Hey EC, do you like the Ash ddrum kit better than your maple one??? I'm about to get a ddrum soon and I'm debating on which one to get. Either the maple or the ash. How does ash sound compared to maple??? God Bless.

I love my Maples. However, if I was to re-do it, I would go with Ash. Maple is awesome, but Ash is new and unique. Its something different. and Different is good.

God Bless.

...I heard that Pearl and DW Hardware is the way to go with "ddrum".  I even think Tama Hardware goes great with it.  Their hardware is being used in Iraq as we speak. :D

I love me drums but ya the mounting system is not the best, it also makes it hard to change heads. I own a maple and have a birch one coming just for my home and at the end of the summer Ill be getting my bubinga kit for the MIAC festival (Canadian NAMM)in aug.
