Shit, only just read this post, thanks for filling it in Gav. NOW, Whats this lark about Zildjians bein shite?! I love my Avedis and any Sabians I ve tried (and thats alot of Sabians) just werent ballsy enough. My cymbals are fucking animal, though they re a sound engineers nightmare cos they re so damn loud and I play em so hard. They re the same size as Chad Smiths and really cut through the distortion, I really lose myself in the ambience they create around me when onstage. I must admit Sabians' effects cymbals (chinas, n splashs etc.) are lovely and really compliment my Zildjians. All my cymbals were "sonically matched" (!) by my ears for hours in music shops, I find you need to make sure they re in tune with eachother, so no matter if its AAX or hand hammered, it doesnt mean its good with your other cymbals. So when you re shopping mate, find a pair of hihats that make you go,"oh fuck yeah!!", then match a ride to it, then a crash...and so on, dont just buy it cos of the name either.

Very funny guys. But what do you want to know? Everything? Now you guys have a debut album out, you're gonna need a biography. Unless of course you plan to have a mysterious past, 'n shit

Just have to bring this one back alive!! Gotta have a haven for all the drummers here....even if it is just me and Log!! Hee hee! Anyone got any really good tips on tuning. I only use 1 rack tom and 1 floor tom, and I had them tuned perfectly, but now I want to incorporate my other tom. (Shit, sizes would help ya! 12" rack tom, 16" floor tom, and then other tom I wanna use is 13"). Since getting Caveat Emptor, I wanna start using my toms a lil more (Damn you, Log!!) so I'm trying to tune them all properly. Got any tips in tuning? I like my bottom skins tighter than my top, so bear that in mind if yer posting any tips for me. Cheers y'all!!!

I like my bottom skins tighter than my top, so bear that in mind if yer posting any tips for me. i think the tone is better when the bottom ones are looser.. its better sounding.. but thats just me.. i know nothing technical wise bout drums! tuning wise, i always just screw around until i get something that sounds good to me.. iv my kit perfect right now.. its great..! What kit you got?

Sure if you record yourself doing something more impressive than Lars and send it away maybe they'll sponsor you (no disrespect intended towards Lars). Or else you could just save up. Saw a lovely kit outside the Bank Of Ireland yesterday. Gavin Ryan was there just busking like.
