What should I buy when I get a job.. (bass, genre)

Should I get some new cymbals or some more drums or a double bass pedal. If I got new cymbals they'd be top of the line Sabian or Zildjian.

Well are you a really experienced drummer? In my case I would get cymbals but not so advanced( I'm only an amateur). But then there's the double bass pedal always fun to use and makes good noise and you'd probably still have money left over but for drums I'd stay stick with what you got and save a little bit for later

Ehhh, I really need new cymbals, and double bass I don't need yet. I want to play a really fast heel toe on my right foot before I get double bass. Because double bass can mess you up a lot because you need to be able to play fast on just 1 foot, not both. Then when you need to use the 2 pedals, you'll be fast as hell, and I want to be like chris adler as far as foot work goes. But yeah, I think I'm going to slowly save money for cymbals, first get a new ride, then a new crash then some new hats and that'll probably be around $500 then get either a power or full crash and then a splash and then a china and that's all I should need for cymbals, for now anyway. I want to one day have a remote hihat and regular hihat, and do double hihat rather than bass because seriously, that'd sound really good.

I'd go with cymbals. My friend bought a 7-piece drumset and he rarely uses the higher two. You can do practically just as much with a standard 5-piece set, but there are a lot of things you can do with cybals. So I'd say go with cymbals or possibly another snare. There's a guy at my school with a regular snare and a picolo snare in his set. The sound variations he gets are amazing.

I'm in the same situation. But go with cymbals, the drummer in my band (yes moses is in a band now like everyother rocker lol) has a double bass pedal and he doesn't use it as much. And he is constantly saying he wants more cymbals. 2x bass pedal isn't a super need.
