Drums, Drummers etc. (1 Viewer)

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Yo - thinking of buying a drum kit in the €800 or so range - Pearl export / forum, Tama Rockstar, that kind of thing. What's good and what's not in that kind of area?
Cheeeeers.

i ended up using different drums from different kits to record out new cd... it's been really rare for me to sit behind a kit and be happy with the sound of all the drums... if i had the money, i'd put a kit together from separates. so, in answer to your question...


LIGHTENING BOLT!!!!!!!

pearl and yamaha make pretty good drumkits for that price, and some sets will include cymbols and stands and stuff so you don't have to buy them seperately. (thing about this is, you'll probably get shit cymbols - powerbeat or something)

whether ye get Ludwig, Premier, Pearl, Yamaha, Tama, or Sonar, at €800 they're all pretty much around the same area. most kits around that price are made with pretty much the same parts...

if you get a pearl in a standard colour, ye can upgrade. talk to the lads downstairs in musicmaker, the kits in waltons are fairly crap. (apart from the electronic ones!)

might be a good idea to get a second hand kit for that price?

oh and get it in cherry red....

Go for a second hand kit, stay away from the likes of Maxtone and other hockey brands. They're for beginners only and sound poxy. Mapex and Pacific are newish brands that are aimed at the intermediate market but are reasonably priced and generaly have really good specs. Are you looking for just the drums for €800 or do you want to get cymbols as well? If you see anything interesting, giz a shout and I can go with you and give it a look over.

!bing Or you can save up and buy my kit for €30,000.

If you want to get a really good kit and don't mind a wait and then some work you can order shells and hardware kits from a company in America and build the set yourself. They make the shells for alot of the bigger custom drum manufacturers in Yankee land. I'll try to find the website for you and I'll send it on.

the sheer effort of searching for them....

Yeah, I'm thinking if I do go 2nd hand, I'll probably get something in the €800 new range, but obviously for about €400 with any luck. There's a few Exports around that in the B&S at the minute so - hmmmmm.
Other thing is, the music shop in D'rogheda does a finance deal - list price over a year by the week, which is nice. Niiccceee.
