I want a drum set. Basically I am sick and tired of banging on everything EXCEPT a real drum set. I've wanted one for years, and I think I am going to bite the bullet for christmas. problem though: i don't know what the fuck I'm looking for. -------------------------- HELP I would like to keep it @ like $400 or less, and there is crap on the internet for like $250, I don't want deluxe, just enough. What do I look for, what do I want, la la la , please help make my christmas loud and out of time. :) |

i suggest a pearl export kit. they go for around $500, and they sound great. remember you still need cymbals and possibly stands and pedals if the kit doesnt come with them (which they usually dont). i have a good feeling that the exports come with a hight hat stand, one cymbal stand, and a bass pedal. if so, good for you! as for cymbals, get a boxed set from sabian or zildjian, they go for about $150 and you get a set of hats and a crash/ride. some actually come with a separate crash and ride. i still use my sabain b8 starter cymbals and they sound great. i know thats gonna be about $600, but its worth it if youre serious about it. if not, try getting a groove percussion (about $300) or one of about the same level. theyre good once you get new skins, pedals, and stands. hope this helps! |

*ahem or just buy a used kit...even the groove percussion will cost you for new stands and such. have fun! |

just buy used drums, its much better then buying a kit, look around for drums with sounds that you like, and cymbals that sound good, i am so used to playing with drummers that don't use any type of name brand kit that when i see a drummer with like a full kit, its a really big turn off, and usually, he/she turns out to have terrible time. well, this is a huge generilization but none the less, i have grown to hate "kits." peace out baby |

maple drums.... they have a pretty color to them, ARE VERY LOUD, stiff wood (i know what yer gonna say "he said 'stiff wood'... but it's true) they keep the tuning/pressure on the heads better... maple drums... w/diecast iron rims & tuning lugs... make sure of this... in all actuality it's just preference... but oh well natural finishes on maple drums are loud & they resonate way way way more than a covered drum shell... it all depends on applications... i'd get an all natural finish, coz you just want to have the best sound possible, you know? ok... erm... drum heads... these are(if you buy a GOOD set) replaceable... buy REMO P3... short for Powerstroke 3... these are the best batter heads i have come across, because they are cheap & you don't have to have any external muffling devices... as for resonant heads... go for erm... REMO ambassador clear heads... they resonate & sound cool :) as for the bass drum... you need some sort of muffling pillow... the REMO "muffle" ring... is the best thing i've come across... you have that hooked inside the beater side head & your resonant head should have a hole in it for porting... think of it like a ported bandpass sub woofer box :) g'day |
