im thinking of getting a Ludwig Pinnacle 5-Piece Drum Kit and want an opinion from other drummers. I cant buy anything too expensive and this drum set is cheap and has good reviews. my original plan was to buy $800 the most. i chose this set because 1) its cheap 2) good reviews 3) it lasts for a long time if used at home 4 since its cheap i could buy better cymbals and drum heads. im planning on getting either zildjan zbt eries cymbals(just one crash ride and hi hat for now) and some evans or remo drum heads.
Tell me what u guys think of this. if i should buy something else? (if so, what should i buy?) if i should add something to my list of what to buy. i got a good deal on the drum set from costco then any other website. $436.79 total with shipping (free).
please remember i have a low budget. probably $650-$700 max including drum set price. |
They might be slightly higher in price than what you're quoting, but many opinions consider the Gretsch Catalina series to be vastly superior in quality and sound. Try ebay-lots of good deals with free shipping.
