Actually, I'm kind of interested to see how much most drummers spend on their hobby so not really...slimerdmb24 wrote:The same sort of person who makes such a remarkably stupid thread.czech wrote:who says, "drum players"?
We know Jason said at least one true thing.

that wont make any major difference, top and bottom hat are virtualy the same, only slight (very slight) weight and shape variations...nothing major.bassman462 wrote:oh and carter uses two top hats. if that changes anything.
So why would he do it, i've always wondered because I didn't think there was much difference between the top and bottom one...carter29 wrote:that wont make any major difference, top and bottom hat are virtualy the same, only slight (very slight) weight and shape variations...nothing major.bassman462 wrote:oh and carter uses two top hats. if that changes anything.

my guess is because the top hat is lighter so by having two it allows him to play it open like he does so often and not have it being so over-powering. Plus it makes it crisper.mattinbeloit wrote:So why would he do it, i've always wondered because I didn't think there was much difference between the top and bottom one...carter29 wrote:that wont make any major difference, top and bottom hat are virtualy the same, only slight (very slight) weight and shape variations...nothing major.bassman462 wrote:oh and carter uses two top hats. if that changes anything.
yeah bottom are usually heavier, It does give him a very nice clear "tick" sound closed and like you said not cutting through the music while open, definately agree, but price-wise no significant differenceBeauford33 wrote:my guess is because the top hat is lighter so by having two it allows him to play it open like he does so often and not have it being so over-powering.

My trumpet playing roomate made the comment that he wished he had become a drummer instead of a trumpet player because it would of been cheaper.

I don't doubt it. He started listing off all thes expensive trumpets that were the best and I said "well the same can apply for drums. I'm sure you can buy a snare that cost $1000 just like you can buy a trumpet for $10,000." He said bullshit that there were not snares that cost that much. I don't know but I would think there would be???? Anyway, I would like to see what kind of money you drummers out there have put into your hobby, and If you were a professional drummer, assemble a set for me and give me a quote. In my mind, it seems like even when you have a drum set you would want to add to it and possibly have different peices for different situations and what not. He seemed to think that drummers don't really buy that much extra stuff and have it sitting arounf for different gigs/situations. Like I said, I'm a bit in the dark here on specifics, but what he says just dosnt seem to make sense to me. Help me out drummers. Also, I want a quote on how much carters set is (I know he changes it around alot, but give an estimate by like what the road crew has listed as his stuff...). Thanks guys, and If i'm totaly wrong please point it out, it wouldnt be the first time, it just didnt seem logical to me...

I was sitting here trying to figure out who wrote drum player and then relized it was me and felt like an idiot. I don't know what I was thinking. I got to talking about trumpet players and I think it just came out. I appologise if I offended anyone
It's not that you need 12 trumpets, one for each key, it's (okay this is based off my experience with trumpet from 5 years ago) that trumpets are tuned to Bb, which is 2 half steps below concert pitch. There are trumpets tuned to C, which is concert pitch. Essentially, if you want a Bb trumpet to play an E, you write it as an F#, because the played note is a whole step below the written note for a Bb trumpet. So a C trumpet eliminates that problem.bassman462 wrote: then everysong in jazz band must be in the exact same key.
i know that's not true, but im sure that trumpets can play in more then one key, but that some keys needs to have a different one. the valve thing makes sense, same with mouth peice.
