may mga nagbebenta ba ng drum kit na pads? para pang practice. para hindi maingay sa bahay.

Miggleness · « **Reply #29 on:** July 16, 2007, 01:33:46 PM »

Rough estimates if I were to buy a new kit now with that budget

Fernando kit - 18k
sell the snare drum and get a chad smith snare probably - 8-9k

Heads will cost around 5-6k siguro kung kasama yung bass drum (at baka iisang head lang to, batter lang for all). Try Sir Vinci. Good prices!

Decent hi-hat - meron dyan between 6-8K. May nagbebenta ng Sabian HH hats for 7K. Cheaper hats, pwede na yung 2nd hand B8 (3.5-4K) or PST5 (3.5-4k). I'd pick the PST5 between the two, ganda ng tunog nya live.

Crash - 2nd hand for 4-5k. Avedis, Acustom or AAX crash na 16-18". Yung avedis mura for sure. nabili ko 18" for 5.5K sa JB last year.

ride - kung may tira pa, abang ka ng mura. Wouldn't recommend ZBT kasi hindi IMO di maganda tunog nya. Medyo mahal ang mga ride pero abang ka ng avedis, may magbebenta minsan ng 6K.

Total:
With the ride cymbal, 50k.

Guitarista talaga ako. Pero right now I'm playing the drums for my band. iniwan kami ng drummer namen. "Family probs" daw. Ewan. Anyway, I'm opting to get a set myself. But probably I'll start with the cymbals first since we usually get together as a band in the studios. So ano ang "ok" na entry level cymbals? Siguro crash muna unahin ko. I'm really confused on whether I get (in no particular order) Sabian, Zildjian or Paiste. Budget? around 3-5k. Sana po matulungan po niyo ako.

3-5k for a whole set? I'm afraid you'll only get brass/entry-level cymbals for that price, and baka second-hand pa (Avoid Planet Z and Solar!). My suggestion, unahin mo ang hi-hats. Then Crash. Then Ride. 3k can get you a pretty good second-hand cymbal. You'll probably be looking at a ZBT/ZXT for Zildjian, B8 for Sabian, and PST3/PST5 for Paiste.

I know that an brand entry level set of cymbals would cost around 15k. Tama ba? The 3-5k budget would be for a single cymbal. Either a pair of hihats or crash. Btw, what's next to the entry level ones? and is there any noticeable difference with these brands of cymbals?

Yep, a new ZBT or B8 set costs around 15k. These entry-level sheet bronze cymbals may be far in quality from the expensive cast bronzes (which may cost 10k++ per cymbal), but they are much better sounding and more durable than cheap brass like Planet Z's and Solar's like I mentioned. They're definitely usable, and you can gig with them.

wow! 40-50k? for a starter kit? i wish i had that money when i first bought my set!
hmm.. i think a pearl export would be your choice, or gretsch, or pwede ring yamaha, kaso i think rydeen lang pasok dun, e mas ok ata mga pearl export kesa rydeen. pwede ka rin maghanap ng second hand kits for sale, for that money you can really get a great deal on good quality drums.

look sa buy and sell, 65K for a maple yamaha with cymbals. although second hand na siya, yamaha maples are really good drums.

so my point is that 50k can go a long long long way. choose wisely.

sale pa ata ang JB music sir..marami dung magandang sets...like Gretsch...from 60k naging 48k+ n lng xa...kasi may 20% discount...

no tips until now? let me try... if you can wait and save until you get more money to buy a better kit. u will thank yourself for doing this in the long run. malayong maganda ang entry level kits ng mapex, sonor, ludwig or pearl.

try out the Fernando A50's. The standard or Pinoy drumming!

drumster · « **Reply #44 on:** June 03, 2008, 03:57:01 AM »

Technically, the brands you mentioned (Fernando, Lazer, Maya, Powerbeat, Regal...) are not local. These are entry-level (budget) brands which are sourced from Taiwan or China, and these are popular in our local market. Though I may be wrong.

Fernando's drums have greatly improved in recent years.

Fernando's drums have greatly improved in recent years.

But they recently Downgraded the Fernandos.

IMO The "Birch" Fernando is a Big Mistake. Why? When you hear the Brand Fernando what comes up to your mind? Yes you're right, entry level Kits. Kaya nga naubos lang sila when they slashed almost half of its price.

And yes The "Birch" Fernandos are good kits but it's almost the same price ng Gretsch, Sonor and Ludwig. So anu Bibilhin mo?

The new(downgraded) Fernado Drums now is at affordable price again and look better than the previous kits.

Fernando drums, truly entry level and affordable kit for the starting Pinoy drummers.

drumster · « **Reply #46 on:** June 03, 2008, 03:05:55 PM »

What I meant was, compared to the older-model Fernandos, the newer and more recent ones have improved, quality-wise. Shell quality is better. Hardware is better. Finishes are better. But that's a good observation too, bro Sandy.

Rockstar
Lazer
Fernando
New Beat
