new here, just thought i'd drop by and say hello.
Been playing drums for about 11 years now. Been playing on the same kit for the last 8 years, Pearl Exports. It used to be a 7 piece set, but over the years parts got destoryed...so now i'm down to 5 piece. 13', 15' and 16' toms. I'm not really satisfied with the kit...i plan to pick one up in the future, more specifically either Gretsch or Sonor. Use all Sabian cymbals (16' HH crash...thats cracked, 21' classic ride and AA hihits). Planning to go get a new cymbal this week, going to attempt Paiste.
I've spend most of my $$$$ recently on recording equipment. Recently bought a MX124FX mixer and Shure 4-set drum mic combo. I've been recording with crappy equipment for about 5 years now...so it was time to move onto better things. Also got a 1010LT soundcard, Microkorg, YS55 and many other things.
I've become really captured by funk and hiphop drumming most recently...Can anyone recommend any great Funk or Hiphop drummers that i can take a listen to? Give me specific CD titles if possible. I'm all about groove and beat, not usually impressed by overly complicated drums...unless it sounds great.
And to continue that thought, which drum company carries the most "dry" sounding kits?
Thanks and HI!
