yes, i've tried out my nephew's gig maker which came with a sabian b8 cymbal set. decent set even with the stock heads as well as the hardware... ang laki ng potential for improvement pag napalitan ng heads...

If your looking for a good sounding kit, you can check brands like pearl, tama, gretsch, ludwig, dw , yamaha,etc.
But not all branded kit comes with good sound, that's why you have to consider drum heads & tuning.

Since you know how to play it would be easy for you to spot a kit that not only looks good but also sounds perfect. Goodluck!

« Reply #683 on: May 20, 2012, 12:52:44 PM »
Hi Guys,

I'm not really a drummer but wanted to play drums when I got back to Pinas. I'm currently working here in KL and looking for a good decent cymbal pack that I could bring back home.

Any entry level model of good cymbal brand that you could suggest me?

Thanks in advance!

mga boss may tanong ako, may pinagpipilian ako sa 2 kits na nakita ko paki-assess naman bawat isa please haha nahihirapan kasi ako mag decide :))

KIT # 1
tama imperialstar 5pc kit with hihat, ride, crash cymbals (lahat meinl hcs), drum throne for P31k

KIT # 2
pearl target 5pc kit hihat, crash/ride cymbals (planet z), without drum throne for P29k

alin ang mas ok sa 2? i have bias towards tama pero im not sure kung yung added 2k ay sulit ba in terms of quality of drum throne AND cymbals (meinl ba or planet z? honestly i wanna hit them to test). or do i have to look for another kit at all?

thanks mga kuya xD

Are the kits brand new?

In fairness, the tama kit is cheap - with a good set of cymbals too.
Go with the imperial star bro, it's way better than the target.

Promise.

Hit everything para ma-check mo yung tunog...

Having owned the imperialstar/hcs kit before, I would attest to its durability. Matatag ang kit and matino ang hcs. Gaganda pa ang tunog pag pinalitan ang stock heads.

Yup. You should hit it everywhere.

Imho: hcs can be compared to zbt or zht. Kasi pag planet z, yung crash nya parang papel. It wouldn't last. Even the ride sounds so crappy.

Btw, where did you saw the kits?

Wow, this makes the hcs look really good considering that it's brass.   :) I had hcs cymbals and I agree, they're decently bright cymbals.

Well hcs is considered like a way better than planet z. I think planet z can be compared to meinl's headliner cymbals.

you can try this:

Dati syang shopinstallment.com, under construction pa ata. I would suggest computing muna yung tubo nila, ang taas ng interest eh.

Needing opinions/suggestion/guide in buying a kit! :)
« Reply #698 on: August 13, 2012, 11:50:21 AM »
After quite some time, sa wakas may budget na ako to buy one! :-D

But, i still don't know what kind/brand should I buy. :oops:
Dalawang kit pa lang kasi nagagamit ko (Pearl Export, Gretsch Catallina Maple) so ang hirap mag decide on what since yun pa lang nagagamit ko, and wala pa ako idea sa ibang brands (baka kasi may mas maganda pa). I just want to ask for your opinion/suggestion/ or if you can guide me on which or what should I buy as a first time buyer ng kit, please, feel free to answer. Wahehehehe!

Thanks so much! :wave:

Kahit ano dyan sa namention mo ok. At that price point (35k to 45k) debatable yung topic na pinakamaganda. It's just a matter of personal preference. Check mo din tama silverstar, taye - available sa lazer music. Consider mo din yung cymbals sa budget. Kung cast cymbals bibilin mo, magdadagdag ka ng p30k more for a crash, ride, hats set.

I suggest sa classifieds ka bumili. Walang kaso kung 2nd hand basta ok condition.
