Re: What brand kit do you play and why?
Well, when I started playing at age 14, I got a cheaper Premier kit with a ZBT Cymbal pack. When I first got my kit, I would spend about 3 hours a day on that thing. The problem was, it didn't take me long to realize that what I had was not very good. The sound of the cymbals drove me insane especially the ride! Well, I started saving my pennies and I quickly went out and got a Pearl Export kit at age 16. It was what I could afford at the time and it is still what I play on. So, currently my set up is a Pearl Export Fusion Kit with a Pearl Maple Piccolo Snare. I liked the Pearl sound at that age and still feel like I get a good sound from it especially out of the bass drum. I like the Evans G2 Clear batters and the Aquarian Superkick II is a MUST in my opinion. I obviously would like to buy a new kit but I have my sights set on a few other things that would drain me financially like a Dunnett 14"x6.5" Stainless Steel snare which has one of the most amazing sounds I have ever heard! I also have a completely different cymbal set up but that was not the topic of the post now was it?  |
