I just wondered what you people who owns Export EX drum-kits thinks about them.. I'm considerating to buy a Export EX-kit and i need positive or negative feedback so you guys can let me know if the kit is worth the money..
I was recently shopping for a beginner set for my nephew. He seems like the kind of ten year old that will not give something up easy. That’s important for a drummer, because giving up the drums is a pain, not to mention expensive to purchase and depreciated value is astronomical. To minimise risk, I decided to focus on cheaper, common drum s...
This Pearl Rhythm Traveller set is a really cool concept on paper. The traditional demands on a percussionist in the modern day world is one no single product could have ever bridged. For years I had to travel to a location where I could play my drums loudly and personally. In finding life in an urban environment awesome for work, it was dif...
A beginner should be in the market for something durable, easy to transport, light, and seem somewhat nice looking. This kit is that and more. When I first started playing drums I was using one of these kits, and frankly, it did its job well. I can say that spending money on replacement heads is a must and should be done from the facto...
Late spring in 2009 I bought the Gretsch Catalina Club Mod 4-piece kit off a friend when he upgraded to a Shine kit. The shells look amazing. I have the silver sparkle with black stripes and it's one of the most aesthetically pleasing kits I have used. The wrapping looks really nice and I cannot see any cosmetic flaws. The rings are black and th...
I’m reviewing here a 1967 “pearlfinish” Ludwig Hollywood drum set. This includes the following: 5”x14” Metal Snare, 14”x22” Bass Drum, 8” x 12” Tom, 9” x 13” Tom, 16” x 16” floor tom, assorted Ludwig stands, tom holders, and basic drum kit hardware. For heads, I use Evans G1 coated heads on this set, because I had difficulty acquiring the Rem...
From the moment I pulled the DW Performance Series out of the boxes i loved them. They look amazing, and sound just as good. I'm a wood grain type of guy, so i love the transparent stain finish, and the hi gloss overcoat just adds to it. Comes with a nice DVD, tells you all about the drums, and gives tuning instructions, so even if...
The DW Workshop series Drums are great. Before making such an investment, I took Pearl (MMX & reference), TAMA (Starclassic Mapple), YAMAHA (Maple Custom) but none given me much pleasure and sensation of sound. Only DW detour me of the beautiful German but the difference in 1000 for the same configuration gave me back the reason. ...
The GMS Grand Master Drum Kit is known for high quality for all genres. There are a few different versions of this kit. The Grand Master Drum Kit I used is the blue flame version that uses a staggered seam construction so none of the ply seams line up with one another. The Grand Master Drum Kit has bearing edges utilized ...
The Tama Superstar Standard is a five piece drum set, best suited for beginners and those just starting out with playing the drums. It’s definitely a good kit for a beginner, but will be okay for an intermediate player as well, as it’s really not too bad a kit. I’m primarily not a drummer, but the practice space that my band plays in has this ...
