Great site and even better discussions!! I am from upstate NY and have been playing drums for 28 years. I have played in drumlines to arenas. I do hope to never come off as a know it all, but I tend to do alot of research on all of the major drum companies. I have recently switched from Mapex to Tama and I've played Pearl, DW, Tama, Mapex, Premier, Slingerland, Gretsch and many other sets in my ventures. I do hope I can give some of you a bit of useful information. Of course there may be some difference in opinion, but that's what this is about and it's inevitable. If just one person learns some new info from something I might say, then great!!!! I'm happy to be apart of this and don't be afraid to slap me around abit!! LOL Sometimes it's good for one!!! May you all play in good health!!!

Welcome to the forums!
I'd like to get to know some of the drum companies better. Care to share some more experiences?

Hi Russ!! Nice to meet you. Well, What is it you'd like to know? I'd gladly share with you, and the rest here, my experiences with different companies. I have different experiences with alot of companies as far as warranty problems and getting add on drums and hardware issues etc. If there is a specific company you would like some info on, just let me know, and if I have dealt with them or it happens to be a company I've done research on, I'll gladly let you know!! Nice to meet you Russ!!! Take Care and thanks for saying hi!!

I'm interested in your dealings with Premier and how they stack up to some of the other companies. Any ideas?
