Well, at the moment I play on 4 kits. The 2 main ones are a 5-piece Rockwood (by Holmer), and my starter set, a 5-piece
Pulse kit. The
Pulse kit has brand new heads on everything and is tuned to sound like a mid-level kit. I actually gig with it because it sounds that good.
For now, my pride and joy is my
Pearl Piccolo snare drum. I put a REM-O on it and use it as my primary snare most of the time.
My play style includes Gospel, Rock, and Punk. Of course I have my favorite sub genres like hardcore and alternative rock.
Right now, I just auditioned for a new band. Talented group of people and it looks I will be moving forward with them.
AS FOR DRUM KITS.... I am a few weeks away from buying a new kit. I think I want a 4-piece to force myself to be more creative. Also, I will purchase new cymbals for some higher quality sound.
Any suggestions on a 4-piece kit? I would like the option of adding another floor tom later on.
Ddrum caught my eye with the AMX kits. Price seems right. $600 seems to be the idea max for the shells so then I would have some wiggle room to buy hardware and maybe a cymbal or two while staying under $1000. Like I said, I could always add-on. This is just the start of my long-term gig set.
