I've been looking around for an acoustic set after playing an electronic (roland td-3)for about a year. I really miss the acoustic feel and sound
.I want something i can lug outside my house, but I want a good set. My first set was a little cheap, verve percussion. I like the gretsch sets. I was looking at the Catalina Club Jazz because of the 18 inch kick, and I really like the looks of it, especially the white. My question though is, What kind of problems will I run into with the bass drum riser. Will it allow for my kick pedal to be positioned properly, or will it cause it to be farther away from the head - forcing me to compensate. If it does, can it be fixed later on? I currently use a double dw-7000 pedal. i play mostly Christian rock and acoustic stuff. also, if anyone owns this set, do you like the sound? does the bass drum achieve the volume you need?
