"New Toys!"

As fits the birth of a new rock band to rescue Britain, I am popping out now to buy new cymbals and stuff.

I shall inform the disinterested posters here of exactly what I got when I return at 2:30pm.

New toys rock, and new rock toys rock.
Rock rocks.

I'm not too sure of the relevance of Homer and his internet company here...

Now let's go to that place where the...beer...and beds...are

Whoops, meant reminds. In another forum, someone eluded to 'pulling the wall over your eyes'. Please don't hate me.

LOL! Haha, very good. It remains me of the time Homer sets up an internet company, the Hyper-Cyber Mega Globo Corpo-Net or something. If someone remembers it better than I do, i wouldn't mind them correcting me.

Explanation for Grix:

Ride is the big cymbal you keep time on, usually to the left of the rack-toms (mounted drums on kick-drum).
It's the one that gives the "ting ting ting" sound.

Crashes are the ones you hit for the big sound.
Different cymbals gives different sounds.
Crash give a "crash" sound.
Splash gives a "splash" sound, shorter and lighter than crash, and so on and so forth.

Oooh. Are they good?

Soulfly's drummer has two splash cymbals. I have seen them myself. They look they other cymbals, but are smaller, subsequently giving off a higher sound. I think they look funny.

He returns!
Damned dirty A12 diversions.

I now have:

Mapex Double-lock boom stand x 2
20" Pro-Sonix Sabian Ride
14" Sabian AAX Studio Crash
18" Hand-Finished Stagg ROCK Crash

And no splash cymbal - because I play the rock.

I could start it now, but I'm excited about you coming

Hee hee hee....

I bet he goes out and buys about 10 cymbals and new toms and snare skins and 4 kickdrum pedals...but turns up to his gig with no sticks.

GAH

Just tell me you're not buying a Splash cymbal...
