Does anyone know what are the lowest and highest available positions for the hi hat cymbals? (To the middle of the cymbal pair, say.) Also, what is the spring tension like? Thanks.

This stands from foot to tip at 32 inches. The cymbals can be positioned as low as the notch you see about eight inches down or as high as the picture shows. The tension is not terrific but it holds up well to my six year old son. It's a kid's hi hat. I bought it for my 6 yr old's drum kit bc the kit didn't come with a hi hat or toms. It is ideal for that purpose. I wouldn't recommend it for an adult. It's itty bitty.

Oddly enough I have all Paiste cymbals and manage to fit a 20" Novo China, Formula 602 Flat Ride, Sound Creation Bright Ride, 2002 Medium Crash, an 18" 2002 Heavy Crash, a 16" Medium Crash, a 14" Signature Series Crash, a pair of 14" Sound Creation 'Dark' Hi-Hats, a pair of 14" 2002 'Rock' Hi-Hats, a 12" Signature Splash and an 8" 2002 Thin Splash......A lot of cymbals as you can tell but they all fit with a bit of room to spare for others, should I decide to add more cymbals for a particular gig.

I'm actually a beginner myself but played with them on and off and what a have found is that I like the sound better with the bottom heads off. It's a little work to get all of the nut holders off. Just do one, one of the toms, take the lower skin off and see if you like the sound better than the other Tom.

Dear CTS, I checked out one of the C7's and the action as it comes from Cordoba is 2.8mm on 6th string and 2.5 mm on the first string. There is some buzzing on the 6th string at the 3rd fret if the guitar is overplayed. I normally would raise the action until this buzzing stops, but if you like that very low action, I can leave it there. The frets are level and there is the proper amount of relief in the neck, so to raise the action I would replace the saddle.Let us know if you are interested.Thanks!Daniel, Calido Guitars

Hi When compared to 7506. 7520 That's just perfect sound! 7506 with an absolutely flat sound. Without baseman. With strong lifting the hi mid. Do 7520 balanced sound. And sit perfectly on the head. The best solution, you go to the store and listen to are both. You will understand everything;)

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pait that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pait that I can bend inward.Thanks

I placed mine slightly to the left hand side (about 1-2 inches as sitting on the cajon), off of center, with the snare touching the playing surface (Note: I had to untangle and straighten the snares with my cajon kit). This produced a satisfying snare sound. Not sure if placing directly in center or experimenting with bending the snares will produce more or less snare. Have had too much fun playing to care : )

Holy moly, I wish I had that problem..to choose between two companies with stellar offerings. The LS50 is exceptional, would I prefer a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies......in a heartbeat. But, as the monetary system collapses, you are probably far better off to get some acoustic instruments.

is this a good drumset to buy? i have a crapy drumset and am looking to up grade. good choice? for the price

i would say they mute about 80% of the sound, except the bass drum, that is more like 60% the cymbal mutes should work on any size; the small one goes right to the edge of a 14" cymbal and the big one goes to about half an inch away from the edge of a 20" cymbal the bass drum mute doesn't have a strap or and kind of adhesive on it when you buy it. the cushion-type foam makes it difficult to attach; i tried some poster hangers i had laying around and double sided tape, but they didn't work the best way to attach it would probably be to pull the head off and tape the mute to the head

Sits in bridge. But unbelievable value for a client who both him and I wanted to keep his old vintage scousvbsss stick. Others went for $100 s. If your in phx az I'll yltskr a look at your ovation. Used to play them when I performed in late 70 s haha

Hi, What they are offering is called a Shell Pack. I am sure it comes with the twin tom mounts. The floor tom will come with 3 legs, too. That is something that is usually not considered as extra hardware. They are referring to Hi-Hat Stand, Bass Drum Pedal, Cymbal Stands, Stool, Sticks, Cases, and Cymbals. I would assume no Snare Drum Stand, but they may surprise you on that. They are affordable to buy. Entry level drums will respond VERY WELL when time comes to replace the heads. You will be amazed. Your real expense and commitment with be cymbals. Cheap cymbals sound terrible. Good cymbals, while not cheap to buy, will do a good job holding value and,,,,,,,,,,,,you can keep them if and when you upgrade the drums. I would consider 14" hi-hat cymbals, 16" crash, and 20"-22" ride. Used is fine. Sabian offers refurb cymbals. They gather up and old, used, or cosmetic issue cymbals and sell them under the SR name. Price is great, you never know what level cymbal you are getting though. Most good cymbal companies sell starter cymbal "packs" that are not bad in price, but get nice cymbals and get a comfortable stool.

I have the violin pickup by Gage and have used it for years with no problem. My bass player uses one like yours and so far so good. I would return it and have them give you another, as the tone quality is excellent.

Thank you for the helpful answers, but is there somebody out there who has actually tried restringing & playing a Yamaha guitalele left handed who can advise? I'm tempted to try it, but feeling a little hesitant because it appears the saddle may be set at a slight angle, which could lead to intonation problems & require a change of bridge to sort out.. not necessarily a cheap & straightforward job? The end of the fretboard is also angled the wrong way which might concievably be limiting for an advanced player but isn't going to bother me in the slightest. I think the bracing & nut issues have been adequately covered by the previous answers.

It comes with one pad for the hi-hat that sits on the top hi-hat cymbal. Essentially it deadens the upper cymbal vibration thus greatly reducing the noise level.

The dynamics are quite good. I haven't had to adjust them at all, but you can. If you are a drummer already, you can adapt to these very easily. I'm getting a 300 watt amp for them and totally trust them for gigs I'm doing next month. If others are having issues with velocity sensitivity, I can't comment on that. My set works great. I've been drumming for over 40 years. This set does a great job for me. Espescially 3 and 27.

I play most of my music on the high side (partially deaf) but never experienced any vibration. Did you try adjusting how you wear them? I noticed more bass when I love them a little lower. Good luck. I really like mine great for walking and biking so I can still hear traffic etc. I think if you somehow got a bummer pair the company will replace or reimburse.
