need help with cymbals !

bLinKie — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:52:09 +0800

Hie ppl, i need help with choosing an entry level set of cymbals for my music club.

My budget is around 700-800, and the 3 quotations i got are for these 3 sets, sabian solar, paiste 101, & stagg dxj.

All more or less around the same price for 16" crash + 18" crash + 20" ride + stands.

Anyone mind helping out with some suggestions as to which is better ?

i seriously don't know sht about cymbals cause i'm a guitarist, so don't go all technical on me allright ?

If anyone has anything better to recommend, my budget can go up to 1k.

Thanks in advance !

half-step-down tuning ?

bLinKie — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 22:55:45 +0800

was curious about something ... besides standard tuning, alot of bands out there like GnR, smashing pumpkins, green day & even hendrix, use, or used to use, 1/2 step down tuning ... just wondering why this is the case ?
i don't think it's due to vocal range, cause that'd just affect a few songs right ? no reason to use it for ALL the songs ...
and does it really affect the overall sound ? i mean, everything's just a step down ... if SOAD or sonic youth tunings then different la
hope someone can enlighten me on this !

Pickups & pedals for my guitar ?

bLinKie — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 12:51:45 +0800

hey guys ... noob guitar player here ...
i own a BCRich Virgin axe & was just wondering if i should change the pickups of my guitar ?
i primarily play punk & alternative-emo stuff as rhythm guitar ...
i know i know the virgin is more of a metal guitar but i'm not that into that kinda music ...
got this guitar cause my bro once went for lessons at the BCRich distributor Ironwood & got persuaded to get this axe ...
that was way before any of us knew anything about guitars & thought all guitars were the same =P

anyway back to the topic ... i prefer tones like billie joe of green day & deryck whibley of sum41, johnny ramone, & the 2 dudes from mcr ...
more bright & clear sounding yet distorted stuff ... haha dont really know how to explain !
anyone can give me any tips on how to get that kinda sound with my guitar ? pickups & pedals wise ...
i don't play much lead so i basically want a fat warm crunchy rhythm tone that won't get drowned out ...
much appreciated ... thanks ! =)

y i can't open my start button wan....
