I was browsing the Reviews section of the site, and there doesn't seem to be a section for reviews of drumming gear...do you think there's a need for one? i think it'd be useful to drummers (n00bs and veterans) when purchasing gear, especially for people getting a drumkit. drumkits are pretty huge investments for most of us and a review section might help a little bit. what do you all think?
Review section for drumming gear?

Nice idea. We'd need someone who really really knows his/her shit to do the drum gear reviews though. For the guitars side, they have subversion to do it. It takes quite a lot of time and effort to do such comprehensive reviews as well. Someone who has vast knowledge on drumgear has gotta volunteer to do it. Well, I'm definitely not good enough to do it lah.
Any takers?

DW, pearl and tama pedals.
for me, i've used the iron cobra for coming to a year. just smooth and so pleasing to use. i come from using lazer pedals BTW.

u mean pedals? yeah.. i was like thinking a cheap dbl pedal or ICs.. all the way man!!! don't waste time and money upgrading!! if u want IC spare parts, also quite easy to get. go G77 studio for practising drums. they got dbl ICs there!
other brands like lazer, etc? i don't know.. seems like the ppl over at US are freaking rich.. so many of them owning masterworks, DW kits and a stack of cymbals. i'm so jealous of them!! visit the pearl forum "show us your kit".. woot! hahaha.. they do post some videos sometimes and i really learn quite a bit from there..

hey guys, ahhhh equipmenttttttttttttttt. okie honestly i think impt things like pedals and snares, save up abit longer so u can get a gd one. when i was starting out as a drummer i didn't have much cash either. however from long hrs of selling my ass to mel i managed to save up some. got a DW 5000, i have smashed it dropped it, chucked it into a bag filled with guitar pedals and basically taken them everywhere, i dun clean them, i haven't serviced them for 7 yrs already, i'd say thts value for money! the iron cobras are just value for money i feel, i heard the pacific pedals are quite awesome for the price as well. their basically DW pedals made in taiwan almost identical in design except maybe for the numbber of ball bearings. the yamaha flying dragons i heard are very decent as well, the thing is that u basically need a double chain drive pedal. the single chains are alittle too shakey for me i feel. there are some pedals like axis and the lugwig speed king that are direct drive which means no chain at all, i heard these are really gd. but save up more and get a decent pedal cause it'll really help ur playing.
The iron cobras are actually harder and give you quite a bit of rebound. The yamahas are generally softer and gives you a lighter feel thus you spend slightly less effort kicking.
Depending on the way you play, the cobra may help you do the ghost kicking / rebound better. However, the yamahas less shack. Yamaha also can do the double kick but got to have more control.

thanks for posting guys! always fantastic to have info from the people who know what they're talking about. but to get a review section up and running, which we can have always accessible instead of just one thread which might eventually get lost, we need people like you guys who are willing to write up some stuff that can be posted. anyone willing to take on the job?
