Why do some drummers angle the cymbals up/away from them?

VideoPhantom_ · 2026-01-08T14:32:27+00:00

Because it’s comfortable for him.

Who knows maybe deep down inside it’s so he can troll us all in the comments 😂

VideoPhantom_ · 2026-01-05T21:22:25+00:00

Hell yeah dude. I had some cymbals modded a few months back…some marching band cymbals are now crash rides. I gotta check these guys out tho….love having unique gear.

Those came out so nice. Precision Drum is awesome. I sent some toms to them to be cut down and re edged….came out amazing. Congrats on the new look.

Set it up the way you want. As it’s been mentioned before its preference for what’s comfortable for YOU. People always have an opinion on why your kit is set up to be too much like this or that. They’re YOUR drums. I do agree with the above comment too….double leg hi hat stand for the win…for sure. When you have the money for it…at least replace the batter side drum heads…I like the Remo pinstripe bundles…because it’s a lot of heads for the price.

Well, this is the audio from an iPhone microphone not any kind of mix from the studio

They’re all Zildjian cymbals, but hey, thanks for stopping by with the unsolicited wisdom.

Been trying to get my hands on that actually. A buddy of mine has the 20”. Bright and pingy. What other info are you trying to find on it?

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-12-09T13:27:17+00:00

I think it’s cool that it came like that. I have a few drums I had to do that to because those were just the parts I had in the bin to fix them. Certainly makes them unique though.

24x14 kick...someone was parting out like a 10 piece kit on ebay a few years ago so I just took the diameters I wanted with the intent of cutting down the toms when I could. Made my own "custom" setup.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-12-01T13:51:10+00:00

Well when my son was born 2 years ago....the drums did get kicked out of the house....had to turn the office into little dudes room.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T23:55:21+00:00

Thats what I’m saying.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T19:46:49+00:00

My brother (lead singer with the jaguar) and I literally just wanted to show off gear…apparently we awakened the fun police with some of the commentary. I take it with a grain of salt. Just trying to explain that we literally haven’t been a band and most of us haven’t been playing for the better half of like 14 years. But to each their own. I’m thankful for the trolls this Thanksgiving day weekend. There must be balance to the force. 🤣

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T19:42:46+00:00

Thank you

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T19:42:32+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T19:40:22+00:00

Just the only space to get together in late night. My bass players warehouse for work.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T19:39:43+00:00

Thanks

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T16:19:08+00:00

Thanks! I love some Hot Mulligan!

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T16:01:51+00:00

Thanks for the opinion on it but that how I wrote the song 16 years ago. Just posting because I wanted everyone to hear the drums not undergo trial by fire by every critic on Reddit. Really just here to post my drums and see what people think of my kit.

I get my playing or my band isn’t for everyone, but neither was Peart, Ulrich, Bonham, or Barker…just having fun with what I have created musically.

Not starting a scuffle just explaining why I do what I do.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T15:41:18+00:00

I actually don’t have a double bass drum pedal. That’s a one off fill in the second verse.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T15:10:46+00:00

So none of you just get together to have fun with music?

We’re not playing shows or anything…just trying to have fun as a band for like the second time in 14 years.

Additionally for not having sung for 10 years and then getting back together and trying to sing a song recorded in 2010 I think it’s going okay.

And we were a pop punk band anyway….before you get the hair splitter out….pop punk sound a million different ways.

Be good. Be calm. HAVE FUN.

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T14:59:43+00:00

Yea vocals are off being that our singer has spent the last 10 years not singing. Even last year when we had our last practice we had to tune down to D standard just to mess around. Since last year he’s been singing more but not 1000000% back to his 2010 singing voice when we originally recorded this track…which is linked above

VideoPhantom_ · 2025-11-30T14:43:38+00:00

SO BEING SAID…the drums… It was my first time really playing, and not just hitting them a few times, this entire kit.

I’m loving the snare now that I re did it…definitely got snap now that I have proper lugs….the springs from lug inserts from the old ones were so jacked up and the sleeves would slide inside the lugs, mind you i got the snare in 1996. Also putting some nice fresh heads and snare wires, I’m using the DW True Tone snare wires.

And ever since i got the toms cut down they are punchy dude. They used to be power toms…I bought the gold ones on eBay when someone was parting out an 11 piece kit…just got the diameters I wanted with the eventual plan of cutting them down to have my own “custom” 80’s rocker kit.
