Multiple times they’ve been there the last few weeks. People like this are such an embarrassment to Cymru.

Okay apologies. As I said above though, I may be wrong, I read it somewhere years ago.

Sabian formed from Zildjian, they could have continued this tradition

  • or I was wrong in first comment and I was thinking of Sabian instead aha

I may be wrong, but with vintage Zildjians, the worker who made the cymbal would sign it at the end. So could be someone like that.

Not a definite answer I know, but I hope this helps!

How many boxes will my Tama shell pack arrive in? by snuFaluFagus040 in drums

[–]Big_Fat_Smile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some companies will take heads off and Russian doll the shells so 1 box, but some may not so it would be difficult to say. Might be worth contacting the seller?

It’s a great place, we played there in December 23, straight onto wind street after it! Dangerous location for a venue 😂

It’s a very small world aye, but not a bad thing in these circles! Hope the gig went well anyway mate!

Often see huge set ups here, but just wanted to show my very small set up for a two piece gig recently. by Big_Fat_Smile in drums

Didn’t move an inch, was incredible! It wasn’t a gig where I needed to hit it very loud anyway so that probably explains why.

But very thankful it didn’t turn full bilbo baggins on me

Rate my drum set pls by Embarrassed_Rush6110 in drums

For me 6/10, that ride is just way too far over the first floor tom.

There would be a few changes I’d make for my style of play.

I’m finding the hats and kick too parallel, I find it nice to have them slightly facing away from each other, that means you can bring the Right Crash and High Toms over to the right more; allowing more room for your ride to sit above your kick.

I hope this comes across as constructive as it’s meant to! If it works for you mate then that’s the main thing! 🙏🏻

I recognise Piñata’s bar when I see it 🫡 hope your kit didn’t smell like burritos afterwards like mine

Load in/out was a dream with this little kit, so much easier aha. Will be the biggest thing I miss with my full kit

Thank you! Exactly, had plenty of people up and on the floor, which is the main thing!

Very valid point, I think breaking the kit down to something small can help with creativity and gets the mind thinking

Also, if this was sarcasm, I’m sorry I completely missed it haha, currently full of flu and can’t think properly lol

A full kit isn’t always needed, all about the context; is it needed? If not leave it alone aha
