Title: Got rid of the DDrum...gotta a real kit now!!! Pics inside!!!
Post by: dude-on-drums on October 08, 2007, 11:26:56 PM
Ok Fam, especially JFunky!!!  I told you a few months ago that I was going back home to my first love...here are a few pics!  Enjoy!!

My setup is:

Yamaha Beech Custom Absolute Nouveau

Apple Sparkle Fade (trust me, these pictures do them no justice) and sorry about the tags!  LOL!

10" 12" 14" 22"

Akira Jimbo Signature Snare  13/7

Sabian Cymbals

13"  Evolution hats
17"  Legacy crash
18"  Legacy crash
20"  Evolution ride

Remo Heads

Emperor Coated on the toms and Power Stroke 3 on the kick


I hope I dont have to tell you all how good this set sounds...simply incredible!  My 8" tom is on order and of course you all know that I have the 7" and 10" Evolution splashes as well!  I'm also adding a china to my set when I decide on which one to get!  I had a choice between this and a Broken Glass DW...Yamaha is where it is...and for anyone who has been on the official Yamaha Drum site only to be dissapointed because it doesnt show you the different colors on the actual kit, here's a link for you to check out.  http://www.peelerdrumcenter.com/drumsets_by_yamaha.htm (http://www.peelerdrumcenter.com/drumsets_by_yamaha.htm)

That's what's up - Beech Yammies, Sabian Cymbals and you can play!!!  You'll love the AJ Siggy, as I love my snare (I got him to sign the interior of the shell)! 

When I'm in the area to visit my Dad in Racine, I'll make sure to make the drive up to holla at you! 

I'm really happy for you - it's a good feeling to get what you want, and not to settle!

Man dont feel bad...the price on those things are great, but that doesnt mean its a good deal you know?  Get the Tour Custom man!

Juse what is your take!   :D

Ddrums quality and attention to detail is on a level that almost no other company is on.... :-\ I have also noticed that they don't have a slogan that is recognizable like Pearl, DW, etc...

So lets help them come up with one!  I'll start!

Ddrum: For the serious trumpet player.

or...

Ddrum: When Mapex is just too good for you.

This is a crusade that is near and dear to me.  Lets be good drummers and help them out.  ;D

That's a hot kit, Sheen.

Most important of all, you can actually play very well.

That comment makes me think about the dudes who come to the court with the extra clean kicks, their tank look's brand spanking new & so do their shorts. They look like a million bucks, and play like fifteen cents.

That's what I'm talking about Sheen. You just built up my anxiety to get this kit. I'm not rich so I've been doing the saving up thang. Congratulations on the kit. I know you're doing all kinds of justice on this set. ;)

Post by: JFunky on October 09, 2007, 01:33:45 PM
...Sheen, the kit is beautiful.  The wood config. (Beech) is great.  What is shockin' to me is that you're rockin' the Traditional 4 piece set up.  You're going to have fun with it man. 8)

Remo Clear Emperors with Ambassador Resos. will do that kit just fine.  You may have to use a lil' tape like jhaynes and Chris Coleman but you'll be good.  An EMAD on the kick will be just fine as well.  Are you going to get a 16" Floor tom in the future?  You should. ;)


....okay, I am sooooo happy for you right now cause you got the friggin' nastiest 13" snare on earth.....Akira Jimbo Sign.  I love that snare and my Co Pastor loves it as well. LOL  Ask j_kay about that.

Dude, you're going to make that kit sound like every penny it's worth.  I pray that the Lord keeps on blessing you, your talent and that many lives can be touched through your playing and new instrument.  You have my blessing man.  God Bless.

Sidenote:  juSe, the Elvin Snare is the truth.  Congrats. to you Yammy Cats.  Keep on drumming....

Yeah ddrum sucks! And the thing is they seem to be snatching up all the hood rats who cant seem to get real endorsement deals with the larger companies....I compare ddrum to a used car lot, at first it looks and drives awesome until you've driven it for awhile and then start to see and find all the flaws!!! Good choice on the kit, I once owned two Yamaha kits and loved them. I love my Mapex stuff and thats whats nice for me...Id say to everyone find whats right for you, dont let us in here tell you what to buy..If you see a Mapex, Yamaha,Pearl, Sonar, ddrum,Tama, CB 700, Sunn, Pro Cussion  kit and fall in love with it then buy it! Just if you buy the CB 700, Sunn, Pro Cussion, keep it on the down low in here cause you gon get blasted up in herrr, and my me first!!!!  ;D

Thanks everybody!  I just did a session with them today and all I can say is.... :-X  The engineer lost his mind when I pulled them out of the cases!  Then after he heard them, I almost had to call a doctor!   :D

Yeah man Yamaha's sound awesome in the studio! Back in the day when I had my birch Yami's it was the same, flat eq, no efx, and the drums sounded awesome with just the mics. My Mapex remind me so much of that kit....

...nah, man....you're kit is good.  Pearl's 4ply MMX (Maple) is good.  I forgot what they are now.  It's the 6ply joints that are not all that to me anymore.  Yamaha, DW and others are taking them to school.
