Are they exactly like the ones Neil uses. I am not a musician so I don't know. They sure look cool though.

They're ALL cool 'till they crack

One mistake I made when I drummed was using polymer sticks...they were indestructible, so I would break CYMBALS before the sticks.....needless to say...I went back to wooden 5B's....better to break sticks than Cymbals...

Then I discovered the guitar.....Life's never been the same either...ROCK ON!!! ( I feel like Dave Grohl...hahahaha)

I CAN'T believe you said that, siggy! My first drumset was a Slingerland blue sparkle with Zildjen cymbals (well, my second...not counting the three-piece cracker jack one I had).

The ride cracked BADLY and I was so PISSED. I went to my drum teacher about it (he studied with Krupa but it didn't help how BAD I was, heh heh) and he told me to drill a hole in the cymbal at the end of the crack.

Actually, it worked quite nicely! Gave it a nice "shimmer" sound. Yeah. I couldn't afford to replace it anyway.

been there/done that hahaha I have to admit though....I had a Zil ride cymbal that was like fort knox...but then again...most of us didn't thrash a ride cymbal...the crashes and splashes are the usual victims...

still though, it all went away when I went back to light wooden sticks...it's all about cost-effectiveness, so break sticks...they'll make more

hahaha

Yeah, well, I read the ad to them and they know that only 30 sets were made and that it won't happen again.

Maybe if I just promise to take them to see Rush on the next tour? Hmmm...

You may be on to something there...negotiation! theryago

Oh, no, it is not negotiation. It is either be content with me taking you to see them or die. LOL
