Floor tom and Hi-hat recommendation

[davilazita]

Ah right I thought it was a venue itself!

Yea not a million miles away just near Bishops Stortford I might try and email blue angel try and get a gig sometime!

Thudd sounds right up my street!

Cool I might check that out, I guess my only reservation about getting it second hand is I've never tuned a drum before.

If thud's your kind of thing and you may have issues tuning it, I can heartily recommend whacking an Evans Hydaulic head on whatever you get (an old Premier APK/XPK tom would do you reet) - the Hydraulics sound dry as a bone (way too dry for a lot of drummers who play live, but for recording one'd be perfect).

Or a remo Pinstripe

Awful drum heads man, but they do fix up "difficult to tune" drums.

Fair enough mate. Im from St Albans but now live closer to Luton. Keep us posted on gigs!

I still quite like Pinstripes as they're so much more forgiving than undamped heads tuning-wise (and I kinda got used to the sound having not really used much but Pinstripes for live and Hydraulics for recording for years) - but now I can dedicate a bit more time to tuning and have a 'nicer' kit the extra tone and sustain I'm getting from single-plys (Ambassadors at the minute) is brilliant.

Recommendation still stands though, for quick 'n' dirty thumping floor tom noises stick a Hydraulic on any decent floor tom and it'll sound like thunder.

Hey Drummers. I'm looking at getting a floor tom and hi-hat cymbal to add a bit of realness to my recordings. Does anyone have any rocommendations of have any for sale?

Floor toms are expensive to buy out side a kit so unless someone has got one hanging about in a garage you may have to pay upwards of $300..hi Hats there is only one Hi hat for recording and that are zildjian New Beats....i Have a vintage pair but not for sale or zildjian Quick beats with a flat bottom on the lower cymbal for tight quick response...Happy shopping a pair will set you back upwards of $400

Again, absolute rubbish, just give it up mate, your poor advice is not appreciated.
