SABIAN Cymbals Set-Up Builder
Feb 23rd
I guess this has been around for a while, but I only recently discovered it and I’d wish I knew about it when I was in the market to buy a new Drum Set with Cymbals.
It’s the Cymbal Set-Up Builder by SABIAN.
All you need to do is:
- Create your set-up from scratch OR
- Choose your favourite Sabian artist template, OR
- Choose a Genre template.
Then you can move things around, edit what drums you prefer and best of all, you can save your Sabian Cymbal Set-up and play the kit so you can find out what each cymbal sounds like. The only downside with the site is that you can’t share your set-up easily with Facebook or Twitter etc, and I’ve noticed from a few blogs out there that people have had trouble working out how they were supposed to share it, when someone at Sabian stated they needed to screen grab it and resize with MS Paint! What type of response is that?!? Anyway, all negatives aside, the website is still pretty cool.
Here’s a pic of my current kit: TAMA Superstar with a variety of Sabian Cymbals.
TAMA Superstar with SABIAN AA, AAX and Paragon Cymbals
On the Cymbal list, I have:
-
AA Splash 06″
-
AA Splash 10″
-
AAX Fusion Hats 13″
-
AA Thin Crash 16″
-
AAX X-Plosion Crash 18″ (This is my favourite cymbal on the set-up. If you’re looking to get one at a good price, check out zZounds)
- Neil Peart Signature Paragon Ride 22″
Here’s the set-up of my favourite drummer, Jose Pasillas II:
Jose Pasillas II Drum Set-Up
Awesome cymbal set-up, but bugger setting it up every gig unless you had a roadie to do it for you! Read my earlier post about shrinking your Drum Set and Cymbals could make you be a better drummer.
Have a go yourself at building your Sabian Cymbal Set-Up at http://www.sabian.com/EN/setupbuilder/
If you’re looking for a cheaper place to buy Sabian Cymbals, check out zZounds.
And if you’re a Sabian advocate, you can become their fan on Facebook here.
Please leave a comment! I’d love to get some feedback on what you think about my set-up!
Cheers
Greg

Get Your Own Custom Signature Drum Sticks and Showoff Like an Endorsed Drummer
Jan 17th
KINGFIELD, MAINE – Let’s face it: there are hundreds of thousands of drummers in the world and only a few dozen will ever see their name and signature on a drumstick. Large drumsticks corporations can only afford to print custom logo drumsticks for the most popular drummers, leaving the vast majority of drummers out in the mud. However, Foxy Drummer is trying to change that by offering each and every drummer the opportunity to get their artwork/signature on their own drumsticks – at a price that is less than what they would pay for a typical store bought pair.
For the last few months, Foxy Drummer has been perfecting the art of making custom logo drumsticks for a small circle of drummers. Now their services are open to any drummer with a dream. Foxy now has the ability to:
- print multi-color logos
- print logos up to 7” long on the stick
- offer a selection of over 25 different stick sizes
- color the stick in 1 of 8 different colors
- provide you with samples so you can ‘try before you buy’
Play with them, sell them, or throw them at your screaming fans – it’s up to you. Custom logo drumsticks start at only $4.99/pair and band typically resell them at their gigs for $10+/pair.

Biggest Electronic Drum Kit: Yamaha DTXpress
Sep 14th
A tour of quadbassblaster‘s two Yamaha DTXpress 2 drumkits joined together with custom created china and cymbal and splash pads with triggers bigger than Roland TD20 like a DIY experiment. This may not be the worlds biggest greatest largest drumkit like Terry Bozzio, but still not bad i think! Using hosa ypp117 ypp 117 adapters you can expand and split one port into 2 trigger inputs with separate sounds. The pedals are Sonor giant step copies, Morgan of Henker on Canibalblast video has them too, cymbals are Pintech Visulite wish i had a Ludwig Vistalite to go with them! There are many more death metal drum covers to follow after my latest edition to my drum kit so stay tuned!
