What can i say!!

[David Keane]

Right so guys, just thaught I would update the pictures, so here they are.

Not much to say about them, they suposably speek for themselfs. like i said above, Is there anyone out there who has the yellow and purple cam's. I am going to get them anyway, as I have tried out every cam that came with the pedal, just wondering if anyone likes the two other cam's, there off-center so it says in the catalouge.

So far I am using the red cam, its a real feel good cam. So anyone out there with there opinion on the yellow and purple cam?

Thanks guys. Enjoy the pic's, comments are welcome.

I was using the red cam for three years with my chain drives. I had the others but never really used the yellow or purple. I recently put the yellows back on and I love them for heavier foot playing (rock mostly). I use the belt drives with the blue cams for things like death metal, intricate foot work, limb independence, etc. The yellow and purple cams are definitely worth looking into for anyone who hasn't done so.

Your kit looks great

Cool pedals dude! I too play an Eliminator (single) pedal, belt drive (white cam) Great peds! Nice hats! Bag the B8s dude! awful sounding pie tins!
It appears that you have invested a chunk of change on drums and hardware! You owe it to yourself to get some better cymbals..unless you like B8s? Some guys can tolerate 'em.. no offense..you gotta play 'em

Thanks man, I really do want to change my B8's badly! But the sabian range aint cheap! Something like 150 euro for a 10"splash, AA, kinda worth it though, of course I will be replacing my B8's, I just need to save some cash. What would you recomend?

[pearlygates]

Well..Yeah..pro level cymbals are a bit of cash to be sure. You are on the right track with the AA hats!..If you're looking to stay with a brighter, more cutting sound, I think the AA, or AAX would certainly fit the bill..However, If you're like me and a darker shimmer is what you crave.. The HHX evolutions are AWESOME! I play all Zildjian cymbals and personally LOVE my A series and K customs for that dark moody sound. The A series (Avedis) thin crashes are a bit more on the brighter side of the spectrum with ample cut and clarity, while the A series (Armand) have the medium brightness with a dark edginess about them..lovely! My K's are D A R K !!! If you are married to Sabian and want the brighter than bright character..AA or AAX. Dark sound = HH or HHX evo.(my fave Sabian line) There are others like the Vault series that folks are raving over as well. I imagine those to be somewhere in between.
If you have the means to, get out there and check a bunch of different cymbals out and choose what suits your playing style and more importantly your ears (and budget) I replaced all my cymbals 1 or two at a time as cash flow allowed. Take your time and have fun with it. Make sure that when you do have a cymbal or two you are intending to keep, that you take them with you to audition new candiates. Remember, if you can avoid it, I would not recommend purchasing cymbals (cast and or hand hammered) on the internet.
Two different cymbals from the same series and size/style can sound very different! Good luck and great EXs dude!

Any other comments for cymbal purchasing??

[FunkSkunk]

check out cymbalsonly.com. They have incredibly accurate sound clips for each and every cymbal so you can tell exactly how it will sound (and how much weight differences effect them).
