Bringing you own gear/drums on gigs *MERGED*

[iplaydrums4u]

what are your thoughts/ experiences on this?

siempre depende pa rin sa stiwasyon pero most bars (excluding high end ones like 19 east :p) have dead sounding drums and sometimes the snare is your only hope to at least bring justice to your music. or kahit maayos man ang snare ng bar, eh sobrang abused na nung skin (i had one bad experience na yung snare ay literal na tunog karton dahil tad tad ng packing tape yung head)

so dito pumapasok ang tanong, kung may decent snare ka (or any snare na maayos ang tunog kahit sabihin nating fernando pero pinalitan mo ng heads, snare wires, etc.), is it worth the extra weight  and hassle (specially for commuters like me) to bring one on gigs?

salamat sa mga magshashare

Don't take chances. If you have your own gear, bring ALL OF THEM with you.

sir, just think of it this way, if your bandmates can bring their guitars (and sometimes even a keyboard) which are bulkier and harder to lug around than a snare, then i guess bringing your snare will do you good, lagay mo lang sa matinong bag

ito thumbs up! pero dapat fully secured, hirap na mawalan ng gamit diba 

[harugrugrug]

Kelangan talaga magdala.kung pwede lang magdala ng drums sa gig dahil yung iba di marunong gumamit ng drums na di sa kanila.
mukha ka nga lang ofw sa dala mo. hehe. like me commuter ako,hehe.

SNARE at DRUM THRONE, Ang hirap kasi sa feeling pag ambaba ng upuan tapos ang Sagwa ng Snare sa GIG!
Para sakin yung iba pedeng tiisin e pero yung UPUAN AT SNARE! SAKEET SA PWET AT TENGA

mas maigi kung alamin nalang muna kung ano itsura ng pupuntahan na gig or drums sa gig para malaman ang mga dadalin

ganito ginagawa ko haha kaya lang medyo outdated na ung bar equipments thread dito pati ang bilis magpalit ng gamit ng mga bars kaya best bet talaga dalhin kung anong meron ka kung kaya rin lang.

in order sa necessity, eto list ko ng mga TINGIN kong essential sa gigs:
sticks (malamang)
cymbals (depends on the location, pag lower end bars must ito)
snare
pedal

i usually bring with me a lot of gears.. for me, must talaga yung stix,pedal at drumkey.. it's like bringing a pick, cable and tuner if gitarista.. nag dadala din ako ng cymbals, snare, 1 cymbal stand, clamp cymbal stand, at drum throne na rin.. mas ok if may sound check before the gig para alam mo ano yung mga idagdag sa drumkit o dapat ichange pag set nyo na 

sometimes bringing extra gears like hihat clutch, cymbal sleeves, top/bottom felt, duct tape, water jug, extra shirt at towel nakaka help din..

ako may dalawang clutch na! may gig ako sa craft bar,may dalawa silang hi hat stand dun,isang generic at isang pearl na kasama ng vision series,yung clutch from tama na galing road pro e too small for the pearl but too big for the generic one,it made me loose my gig
kasi laylay yung tugtog ang hirap ng tumugtog na di expressive ang hihats tapos nag jajazz ka pa na walang hi hats>hindi ako si roy haynes na kayang magswing na walang hats.huhu

so invest to a gibraltar quick release clutch,it might be expensive but the most satisying thing i bought recently.

+1. Importante sa akin ang hi-hat clutch. The best para sa akin yung Gibraltar na worth 700 ata yun. Fit sya kahit anong brand ng hi-hat stand. Lagi ko dala yun. I also bring extra felts, nylon tubing to protect my cymbals. Lagi ko rin dala yung Gibraltar cymbal attachment na kinakabit sa drum hoops for my splash. Di ko feel ang gig pag di ko gusto tunog ng cymbals kaya I bring my own set lagi para sigurado.

[cokeandjahsmoke]

ito yung dala2x ko na hihat clutch, at pareho pla tayo gibraltar din kasi gamit ko.. ganitong model yung sa akin



hehehe, pag gagamit ka ng ibang stands tas may dala kng cymbals, it's always a good thing to bring felts and sleeves to protect your own cymbal. 

update lng: may gig kami kahapon sa isang bar, the drumkit was rented and the problem was ang liit ng carpet na ginamit sa kit, yun tuloy nahirapan akong mag control sa slave pedal ng DP... buti nlng may dalang zip ties yung gitarista namin so ginamit ko yun para maikabit ko yung slave pedal sa hihat pedal para di gagalaw yung slave pedal... so update ko sa gears ko zip ties at cutter hahaha just in case lng..

Sir, question lang. Will that clutch fit in any size of hi-hat pull rod (6mm and 8mm)?
Yan kasi concern ko. Drop clutch kasi gamit ko ngayon eh na hahassle ako kasi magkahiwalay pa assembly kapag drop clutch. Kaya choices ko eh yang super hi-hat clutch, pro hi-hat clutch, o kaya yung pearl super grip clutch. Any thoughts?

OT but since nag ask ka this is my review... so far sa na try ko na hihat stands it fits naman lahat, from generic drums to pearl ones, gretsch, dw, yamaha, sonor... wala pa naman akong naging prob sa clutch.. unless siguro may super generic na stands na sobrang taba talaga ng rod.. it fits sa 8mm na rod and sa 6mm... ang cons lng dito is yung stock nyang felt, after several months of using kasi like any other felts for hihat nasisira eh, but it took me naman 9months before i changed the felt yung sa bottom lng.. maybe replacing it with rubber ok din but mas gusto ko yung felt eh so far after having this clutch for 4 years na twice ko pa lng pinalitan yung felt.. may memory lock yung bottom so di nalalaglag yung hihat.. yung grip nya ok talaga, so far wala pa talaga ako naging problem sa performance.. i think i bought this clutch for 500 pesos but i don't know nag mahal na siguro ito since i bought this 4 years ago pa eh.. but if you have the money you can invest nman sa pearl super grip, idk the price but research lng about it sa pearl hardware threads dito sa PM, ok naman yun siguro 

thanx admin sa pa OT..

[Mypranaproject]

Uy, yan din mismo ang gamit kong hi-hat clutch. Fits all hi-hat stands sa mga bar na natugtugan ko so far...The best yan! =)

Malayo po kasi bahay ko, Montalban. Pag may gig kami, diko alam san ko iiwan yung cymbals, pedal, stand ko. Manggagaling pa kasi ako sa school tas direcho gig. Syempre, palipat lipat ng room so nakakapagod kung dadalhin ko sa school yung gamit ko. Di naman pwedeng balikan ko sa bahay kasi malayo bahay ko tsaka mahal pamasahe. Wala rin naman ako gaano friends sa school na pwede mapag-iwanan. Wala din ako friends na may malapit sa school yung bahay. Wala din akong tsikot. Kaso gusto ko naman gumig kahit pano. San ko kaya pwede iwan yung gamit ko tas pwede ko nalang balikan? Pwede ba sa baggage counter ng mga supermarket? Kaso mga 6 hours klase ko, so masyado matagal. Hahaha. Problema ko talaga to e. Help!

[pedge22]

Tropahin mo yung mga gwardya sa school nyo. Makipagkwentuhan ka muna tapos sabihin mo yung problema mo. tanong mo kung pwedeng habilin sa kanila habang nasa klase ka. Magpaalam ka muna bago mo dalhin mga gamit mo, pag pumayag go. tapos pamiryendahin mo nlang ng siomai dahil safe naman yung gamit mo at di ka nahirapan magbitbit sa loob ng school.

[yekoz]

Walang locker sa school? Minimize your cymbals to 13"Hats, 15"Crash, 18"Ride and trusted pedal and stick. Goodluck 

[rubbershoes]

Research mo tutugtugan mo na mga bar bro..baka may mga gamit n di mo na kailangang dalhin line mga stand, cymbals, snare etc.para minimal lang dadalhin mo.

[rubbershoes]

Yun lang.hehe

i assign mo sa vocalist, guitarist at bassist yung ibang equipment mo. if your band knows your situation, they would help .... if you dont trust them enough to let them safe keep your equipment, better not bring any and just play whatever lol most drummers i know are like that.

your band is lucky to have a drummer like you who actually owns and brings gear.

Ang hirap sa mga commuters kagaya ko na magdala ng mga gears. Ang bigat na tapos hassle pa. Then minsan 2 to 4 songs lang kayo. Madalas talaga naglalaban ang practicality at convenience vs. bringing my own drum sound (at least some of them) and character sa gig e. And as always, nagdadala pa din ako ng gear. I guess tiis lang talaga sa pagbubuhat to bring justice to my drumming. Wishing someday may kotse para hindi na hassle sa commute.
