so up until a few days ago i was going to get a kit built by custom irish drums(who are fucking lovely to deal with and have some AMAZING prices...!).
it was going to be a 24" kick and 16" floor tom in amber acrylic, similar to the C&C one that kliph scurlock uses live.
but after talking to them on the phone, they were nice enough to tell me that after building one acrylic kit out of top of the range shells, they werent happy to make another one.
they said they were just too fragile and they had a snare crack on them. they were very honest and suggested i looked at wood instead.
just wondering if anyone has any experience with either ludwig or c&c acrylic kits?
want to really be sure about this before i make a decision.
i played a vintage vistalite and really really loved the sound but i dont really wana go around ebay looking for bits.
i would much prefer to pick something new up.
advice?
tips?
etc?
