Bringing you own gear/drums on gigs *MERGED*

[alvin_11]

gusto ko po snaa kaya lang nakakahiya sa mga tao na parang nagpapasikat ka pa..mahirap in kasi madaming papalo..hini naman po kasi lahat ng drummers ay tama pumalo..imho lang po..

[y2jae21]

ang hirap, 7 piece ang set ko tapos cymbal rack pedals ect, haha nakakatamad

[drumster]

Well, it's not really about showing off.  It's more about artistic and musical reasons.  If we have the gear and kung kaya nating gawin ito, then why not?  Eventually, the hard work and diligence in bringing your personal gear will pay off, and it will reflect on your performance.

But if one is bringing gear just to show off, then that's an immature and malicious intention or way of thinking.

Mas ok nga kung wala kang dalang gamit e, challenge yun para sayo. 

[sjon014]

Sir Gep is right. Sometimes bad house kits bring out the best in us drummers.

BUT (Yep, may but haha)

When the snare doesn't have wires...
When the bass pedal thinks it's a digital delay effect...
When the cymbals are all torn apart or essentially nonexistent...

It becomes hard to make the audience appreciate your sound.
I personally bring a minimum of a snare, hi-hat clutch, cymbal arm, and cymbal set to gigs if I'm not familiar with the equipment.

[plep]

Hassle dalhin ang buong kit, lalo na pag maiksi yung set at gusto niyo sulitin yung oras. Siguro worth it kung banda niyo lang tutugtog sa gig, kaso otherwise? Sasakit lang likod mo sa pagbuhat ng bass drum (lalo na kung second floor yung tugtugan).

Kaso wag naman masyado umasa sa house kit. Sa tingin ko snare at peds ang pinakamahalagang dalhin, kaso ako mismo di na nagdadala ng peds kasi pangit din naman yung akin hehe. Personally, ang lagi ko dala ay snare, crash (kasi ito pinaka-warak sa mga house kits), china (kasi wala ito sa house kits), tsaka extra stand (para sa china).

[drumster]

Adding to what I said on my previous replies, another reason why bringing my own kit is a better idea is because I don't want to compromise when it comes to sound quality.  Every gig, I want my band to sound as good as possible.  In my part, I want the drums to sound and feel good.

My band plays R&B and hip-hop music.  And it would be just right to have drums and cymbals which sound right for that kind of music.  In some of the venues we perform in, they have house kits that sound more appropriate for rock music or for other styles of music.  And when I play those kits, it doesn't feel or sound right for our style of music.

Well, that's just me.  I prefer taking my own kit with me.  I plan to do this once I'm able to purchase a decent mid-level kit (my goal this Christmas).  I already bring so much stuff on gigs.  Adding a few more components (say, a few toms and additional stands) should add a bit of work for me and our p.a.

But I don't mind the extra work.  It's a labor of love.

well, whenever i have a gig in our church...hehe, i just bring my snare, pedal, cymbals and stick bag.

i don't mind bringing my kit to any gigs in our church, the only thing is, mas maganda yung kit namen sa church eh...6-piece Pearl Session Series...while i have an Ultra-cool, slick looking Fernando kit.

for me, every drummer should bring what ever they could to play better, sound better and most of all perform better, whether it be as simple as your snare, pedal or as big as your personal kit. Your audience won't be looking at your kit but on how you play them.

my 2 cents for you Bro!

[peeves24]

i do, albeit just pieces of it most of the time. tapos kailangan 2 or 3 bands lang kasama sa gig at palagi pa dapat kilala ko yung mga drummer.

i only brought out my full kit just once but had to trim down the cymbals coz of space limitations. hassle kapag maliit lang yung sasakyan


medyo OT: it bothers me when people say that you shouldnt adjust drums on gigs, that you should just sit and play...parang sinabi mo na humiram ka ng sasakyan tapos hindi mo iaadjust yung side mirrors at seat para makapag drive ka ng maayos...

i let guys rearrange my kit and i make sure to tell them that they can.

[glynminded]

I only bring mine during special occasions like debuts, receptions, cocktails or stuff like that... especially when I'm the only drummer playing that night.. but when another drummer borrows it. I pull out my crappy cymbals coz I don't want to find any cracks or damages on my cymbals, plus I don't want any conflict with other drummers or bands (baka makarating pa sa court ehehe) I only bring my kit to events like that for some close friends and relatives, it serves as a gift for them coz it saves them from rent expenses.

[kibohead]

i bring a drumkey, maliit na karton at duct tape para sa bass drum(minsan kasi may sira na ang bass head), snare, peds at cymbals. at least di na siya masyado malalayo sa tunog ko. i tried bringing my kit once, required kasi, very heavy and exhausting...

[blackhawk7a]

san po ba kau nakakahanap ng pag gigigan???ask ko lang po

[P-CHA]

hello guys.... just a thought.. may thread kasi sa BASS PLACE about bringing your own gear... pano sa inyong mga drummers?? parang imposible namang lagi niyong dala drumset niyo diba?? hehe...

ano mga personal na dapat dinadala bukod sa drumstick na hindi dapat hinihiram ng ibang banda sa gig??? hehe....

For me siguro most sa lahat SNARE kasi talagang personal na un noh! sama natin double pedals , cymbals/stands siguro optional lang kung talgang kulang ung set ng venue e di pahiram mo pero kung aus naman ung set aba! kaya ka nga bumile diba para hindi ka nang hihiram sa iba at meron ka sarili mong gamit, sympre sticks kung minsan drum throne atbp.

hehe cheers

[grendil8]

sakin double pedal. ayoko pinapahiram pedal ko. baka masira nia tapos sasabihin lang sakin "tol sorry ah nasira ko" nakakainis pag ganun. cymbals din hindi ako nagpapahiram. baka masira din. mas okey kung sa kamay ko mismo masisira mas masakit pag sa iba pa. 

[compvr]

dati stick lang dala ko, minsan nanghiram pako ng stick, nakakahiya sobra hehe.

2 pairs of sticks, snare, hihat,crash at pedal. pero pag may time limit ang pag set up di ko na nakakabit yung pedal.

[lil.drummerboy]

snare at double pedals

[P-CHA]

hehe.. hindi ba hassle sa bar kung magdadala kay ong mga cymbals etc.

kasi parang diba parang ipapamukha mo sa bar na kulang kulang sila sa gamit..
buti walang naiinis na bar sa inyo pag ganun?? hehe.. thought lng naman..

 

[plep]

dala ko lagi:
sticks
china (pati na rin stand para sa china)
crash
snare
drum key
pliers (para sa uncooperative stands)
masking / electrical tape (for emergency purposes)

tsaka recently, pati ride na rin.

hindi naman. more or less expected naman nila yun e. sa purple haze pa nga pwede ka pa makipag gear talk kay dax (yung isa sa mga may ari), lalo na pag nagustuhan niya tunog ng gamit mo.
