giomix Says Great setup

Submitted On: Thursday, Jan 13, 2011 - 2:56 PM

Bravo!
I'm a Paiste man too, they seem to have the most flexible tone colours for what I do.
Tiny hat, big Ride (22 2002 power ride here) nice. Enjoyed seeing a seasoned pro using odd size cymbals too. I thought I was the only nut that finds some of those 17" and 19" interesting in tone. Enjoyed the tour, maybe I'll muster up enough courage to tape a tour of my set (which I use mostly for jingle/sound tracks).
Again
Bravissimo!
Ciao
Gio

pdpdrummerify94 Says drum head selection

Submitted On: Thursday, Nov 11, 2010 - 12:05 PM

i have a new drum set with stock heads that im going to change in prob three months or so. im looking at putting evans on for the set. i have a 12 tom 16 floor tom, 24 inch bass and one 14" snare. i currently have all remo on my 8 pc set minus the kick drum. in which i have an emad 2. the best bass head out there. got any suggestions? ill put pictures of the new set up soon. its a yamaha stage custom four piece. im thinking about evans because the way your toms sound. i love it.

It really depends on what sound you're going for. If you like my toms, I use the clear G2's on top and clear G1's on the bottom. Good luck!

christophernuccio Says Amazing Setup

I love the Setup Billy! If I had to point one thing out it would have to be the toms. They sound so incredible.

Thanks man. I've spent a lot of time over the years dialing in my tom sound!

pdpdrummerify94 Says hey man. love the set. love

Submitted On: Monday, Jul 26, 2010 - 11:14 PM

hey man. love the set. love the cymbals. i really like that ride of yours. what is it? the dark energy 21" mk 1? how much did you pay for it? if you don't mind me asking.

billy ashbaugh Says Re: hey man. love the set. love

Submitted On: Friday, Aug 6, 2010 - 10:05 AM

You're right on the ride....very good! I LOVE this cymbal!! It's my favorite ride. As for $...I'm very lucky, I endorse Paiste :)

thats cool. i just bought a paiste 22" power ride. i love this thing

HenryTJO11 Says Your setup is quite similar

Submitted On: Friday, Jun 4, 2010 - 11:10 AM

Your setup is quite similar to the one I mainly use. Except I've had to compromise my setup to a 1 rack, 1 floor as most of the gigs my band plays, the other drummers use that style of setup. So it's just awkward to use the setup I mainly use. It would be awesome to get to jam with you on the other kit there.

visioncrys Says Very Nice !

Billy Great Setup !! So what makes you go with Paiste? Ive noticed a number of drummers that I have alot of respect for, including my favorite Danny Carey, that also use them. Your mic setup is sick as well.. Your not giving any sound a chance to escape are ya? lol

I noticed the same thing drumfreak, I have a couple of friends who are drummers ( one which has a studio ) and he does not have a mic under the snare. That is a great idea I think im gonna share with him.

billy ashbaugh Says Re: Very Nice !

Submitted On: Friday, Aug 6, 2010 - 10:04 AM

I went with Paiste because I love there sound! I've played nothing else for the past 12 years. You just have to find a cymbal that fits your playing style.

drumfreak Says Killer!!

Submitted On: Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 - 11:36 AM

Very nice Billy... I never knew you had a mic below the snare! I gotta come out there and poke around soon! We've been talking about it forever!

billy ashbaugh Says Re: Killer!!

Submitted On: Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 - 5:30 PM

Thanks Eric. I don't use much of the bottom snare mic in my own mix. It's mainly for the sessions I do. Yeah...I need to have you over to check out my set up, it's been a while!
