Nice kit man, here's mine:

TAMA rockstar 5 piece
2 sabian crashes (I use one for just cymbal rolls and bell effects and stuff)
and 2 cymbals which I have no idea where they came from.
I'm looking to get some new things though: An iron cobra power glide double bass pedal and a tom holder. Buttttt.....I'm only 15, so it'll take a while to save up some money.

Yeeeey!!! I thought I will be so alone here ...

Anyways, if you play in a grind or a crust band, you should get a china cymbal, it does sound there really expressive and neat.

Hey Katham, what's a crust band?

Crust is basically grindcore with less wall of noise. Eg. United Mutation, Confrontation, early Disfear, etc.

Um, okay...

Never heard any of those bands, maybe I'll check em out sometime.

can some body please recommend sticks, good sticks that last a giood while! i dont know what the fuck but my drummer just tears through his sticks like paper.

This better be the right fricking forum for a 'what the hell to do?' question.

I've only ever had one set of drums & I thrashed the fuck out of it in about a month. Don't know what make, but it was quite obviously shit. However, if I were to get a set, what kind of gear should I start out with? Is there something that shouldn't be compromised (ie. crap snare, toms, etc., but definitely a good bass, or somesuch thing)?

Bear in mind I will beat this thing like a red-headed step child due to the fact I still suck awfully & am a huge Satyricon, Lamb of God, Slayer, other bands that rule & murder their drums & I can't emulate (yet) fan. Cheers.
