I hope these hats work out for you man, you'll have to put up a recording or a video or something once you get them.

[Skinny.]

Yeah. I have high hopes with these, though. I'm sure they'll be nice.

If I were to go Z Custom on the bottom... http://cgi.ebay.com/Zildjian-16-Z-Custom-Rock-Crash-great-condition_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ65Q3a12Q7c66Q3a2Q7c39Q3a1Q7c72Q3a1546Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem255522e4efQQitemZ160342140143QQptZLHQ5fDefaultDomainQ5f0QQsalenotsupported

K/Z is always a good combo. so if you choose a Z to go with it then it would be a good chioce

[Matt]

you bid on it?

[Skinny.]

No. I won't have the money for another few days. But I'll be browsing eBay until then. Now that I think about it, I would like a brighter cymbal on the bottom for the reasons I stated above. I need to get my ass to GC soon...

[Matt]

i like your name sam.

[Skinny.]

¡This Cheese is Burning Me!

[sjman409]

yeah you need to make sure you like what your going to be playing before you commit to buying it

[J.]

If it don't fit, don't commit.
I learned that in driver's ed.





but anyway sam, wait is that crash a 16" k dark? my friend has that crash and we played it with a z custom med bottom.

[Matt]

driver's ed.... man, that was a loooong time ago.

[J.]

I get my liscense friday!
heck yes. heck yes. heck yes. heck yes. heck yes. heck yes. heck yes. heck yes.

Yeah, was the combo any good? Albeit, I would get a Rock crash, but it's generally the same thing.

yeah I remember it being alright. it had this annoying ring to it I think. unless that was a different combo. I'm pretty sure I would have really liked a heavier bottom. the medium z custom didn't really seem heavy enough.

[Skinny.]

Yeah, I'm sure the Rock version would be much better. I'm going to try that combo whenever my K arrives.

[Rubber314chicken]

Z customs themselves are pretty thick, no? And it is a medium?

Anyways, I think someone needs to totally reverse sizes... for fun sometime.... 10" kick, 16" snare, 14" floor and 20" rack. Then 22" hats, 12" ride and 16" crash.

[Matt]

alex, that would be the silliest thing i've ever seen, someone needs to do it though...

[Rubber314chicken]

It'd be so impractical, but so much fun.

[Matt]

I'd be highly entertained by the sight of such a kit.

[Rubber314chicken]

I'd be entertained by the sound of it. Though I suppose if you knew what you were doing with a drum key....

[Matt]

I feel like the 10" kick would get totally lost with a 16" snare and a 20" rack tom...

[Rubber314chicken]

You'd have to mic it really well. Which would present a challenge in itself.

I might try playing my set like that sometime..... for fun?

[Matt]

do it, and take pictures.

[Rubber314chicken]

Well... I wouldn't rearrange the set... I'd just play one drum like it is another.... Could lead to some cool grooves or fills though...

[Matt]

lame.

[Rubber314chicken]

Well, if I did change them around how would I mount my kick as a rack tom and rack tom as a kick?
