[kawayan_strat]

Thanks sa info sir.. Kaso galing nako JB kahapon wala na daw csilang stock ng onyx!.. 
Sayang, kaya EC2 nalang binili ko..

[muziquero]

magkano kuhamo sa EC2?

yung 12" 900, yung 16" 1,050.. Di nakasale sir eh..

[mokie]

tanong po ulit.

guys anong mas ok sa 22" Bass drum ng cat maple, Emad2 or EQ4? thanks!

[pmack]

Okei lang po bang reso yung tig 310 na heads sa lyric, yung pdp na my white sa gilid?.. Sa toms po..

ok sila.
last year i bought a whole set. comparable to clear ambassadors in my opinion.
pero ang napansin ko lang, madali "lumuwang" yung head. meaning madali mahila from their respecitive aluminum collars (i think that's what they're called).
kaya ingat lang baka ma-over tighten mo yung pagtono.
pero for the price, ok na ok sila.
ngayon pang resonant ko na lang sila.

Guys what do you think of Remo Black Suedes or Evans Onyx? Anyone na nakagamit na ng ganitong heads? And ano yung comments nyo about these drumheads?

salamat sa reply!

Guys,
Anyone out there offering drum tuning services?  Kasama na drum maintenance?

I really just dont have the time.  Plus, my kit is in my bandmates basement/studio in QC, where we play.

Willing to pay ofcourse.

Need to replace all screws that hold lugs to the shells. Rusty.

Thanks!  PM or text me (09209289027)

Hi iask ko lang po kung anung drumheads ung mura pero mgnda kasi im planning to buy tomorrow sa raon. Mayroon daw remo na encore pero my mga nababasa akng fake na gnun.. What other alternative heads i can buy ?

salamat po

pls avoid partial text speak - mod

I'll suggest lazer drum heads. They're not that bad at all in my opinion.

[peeves24]

attack, lazer, remo encore halos pareho lang sila. they may even be made from the same factory.

i suggest pdp sa lyric. mas muffled kasi yun at baka mahirapan ka magtono sa encore, lazer or attack

[HeartBreakOne]

kakabili lang namin kanina hahahah pa close na tong thread

[HeartBreakOne]

Evans EC1 Reverse Dot. They are great sounding snare heads.

My 10" snare (that I used as a tom when my tom broke) has 6 lugs...

My new 10" acrylic also has 6.

I guess the problem with 5 is you can't partner the opposing lugs. But I've had decent results with my old generic 5-lug 12-incher.

Same ang process ko for reso and batters. It just differs how high-pitched your tom to be (batter), or if you prefer attack or warm resonance with decay (reso).

Here's what I do:

1. Finger tight all the screws
2. Palm the centre of the head
3. Apply around 2 turns to all the screws in the "star" order.



4. Tap the skin 1 inch from the each lug, and try the best you can to make sure that the pitch is uniform across all the lugs. (This helps eliminate baaad and overly-complex overtones)

5. Apply a uniform set of turns around the lugs again, til you get your desired pitch / skin tightness.

Based on experience, mas nadadalian akong i-tune ang small toms (10 and 12) compared to larger ones (14 and 16). Pero it's all about pitch uniformity - and - finding the sweet spot that the tom was made for.

thanks po sobrang nkatulong po ito

Mga ka-PD, ano po bang magandang reso head ng Evans Onyx drumheads? I have a set coming and wala pa akong resonant na maipapartner sa kanila except sa mga generic na kasama nung kit ko hehe. Thanks!

[vandal]

^snare ba, toms, o bass drum?

kapag toms, it's recommended na you use 1-ply heads sa reso so your drums can sing. so ang mga alam ko na 1-ply, eto ang madalas gamitin:

Remo Diplomat
Remo Ambassador.
Evans G1.
Evans Genera Resonant

Bossing, what is your opinion if I use 1-ply batter heads as resonant heads? 
(I tried once kasi sa snare, it sounded horrible. Sa toms hindi ko pa nattry..)

[vandal]

^yun talaga ang advisable, pre. ano ba ang reso na gamit mo ngayon? john bonham even used coated ambassadors on the reso of his toms. sa snare kasi usually dapat manipis talaga yung sa reso. like hazy 200 or hazy 300.

Still, provided you like the sound, you can use any drum head anywhere you like.

Sa ngayon po kasi, generic lang ung lahat ng resos ko. Ang batter ko ngayon for the three toms (12,13,16) ay Remo Ambs. Then magpapalit ako ng Evans Onyx. Sayang kc un Ambs hehe. Kaya if ever pwede, un Ambs ang gagawin kong resos for the toms hehe. I hope maganda un kinalabasan unlike dun sa snare experiment hehe.

Thanks for the input bro!

I once tried transferring the stock coated snare batter head of my snare to the snare side when I installed a remo coated ambassador as batter head. It sounded thick, dry and dead.  Weird sounding it may be, it's possible for effects snare purposes, trip lang ika nga,...I ended up using a clear ambassador snare head.

My guess would be as you go thicker for reso heads for toms or snare, the thicker and deader the sound will be...ergo lesser sustain...

Actually, encouraging din ang mag experiment kasi dun nanggagaling ang magagandang discoveries...sa tingin ko wala naman talagang strict conventions sa head selection and combination...
