Title: "All Da Fixins"
Post by: Hotsticks1 on June 09, 2007, 04:33:05 PM: So we've all heard of the different types of drums and cymbals out there...woods, brands, finishes, sizes, etc.

So what extra things have you guys added to create different sounds or even to individualize your drums other than the traditional stuff? I'm talking tambourines on the high hats, cowbells, maybe stick holders, bongos off to the side, art of some sort...What's good on your kit besides the ordinary???

Me personaly I put my name in graffiti on the coated head of my snare, and at our church we used assorted cowbells

I mean, they could make up something, but that wouldn't be fair to your topic.

Post by: yamahaboy on June 14, 2007, 09:16:57 AM: They have resonable prices too.... Only $199 for a Bliss ride.... I would compare it to a K Custom dark ride :-\ and the crashes are about $115 each which is great!! I looking in to buying a standard 16" Crash 14" Hi Hats and a 20" ride....
