I started playing drums about 4 years ago, I'll try and get a picture of my drums later, they're nothing impressive though, the only cymbals worth mentioning are my zildjian zxt 14" rock crash and my white paiste alpha 20" metal ride, I use evans genera g2 heads on the toms, a evans HD dry snare head and a evans emad2 for the bass drum head, I use a random cheap double bass pedal that I modified to be direct drive, I'll get a decent pedal eventually

I've never heard of that website, and when I look around I was amazed with the prices. I'll probably be buying from there and not Sam Ash next time I need to buy something

I play drums. Have been playing without lessons (taught myself how to play) for about 5 years now?
^Shweet. I took lessons for a few months. Then I stopped and taught myself from then on.

try to get tabs on it if you can read sheet music
do you two know how to read sheet music?
because i learned for like a year using sheet music and want to start again
Yeah I know sheet music because my teacher taught me and I had to learn it for a percussion class in school. I don't use it that much at all though. I just play! haha

My brother was the only one to take lessons in my family, and he hated them completely. I'm lucky though, my Dad played drums for years before I was born, my brother teaches me drum stuff and my cousin plays drums in a band

I took lessons once a week for 2 school years when I first started playing but I missed most of my lessons because I didn't think the teacher was teaching me anything I didn't know, eventually the school stopped giving me lessons so I taught myself from then on, I had kit that somebody threw out with a broken snare and no crash or ride and I had to borrow a bass pedal for almost 2 years before I bought some cheap double pedal and the kit I have now from my friend and got new cymbals and heads for it 
also what sticks do you use? I always get 5B and usually buy vic firth or vic firth nova but I also have some ahead sticks and now I recently got some pro mark oak sticks just to try them out.
