i have the 212 dollar enforcer kit. works for me. im getting some new heads soon hopefully

 

my cousin just got 1200 dollar drum sets, ive messed aroudn with them, there pretty fun to just mess around n make beats or to take em out on stress.

 

im a drummer. wish i really could play more, but its hard to get motivated to play with yourself . im kinda over being in a band, been there, done that. but i still love to make music.
to answer your question about heads. all the major manufacturers all make pretty much the same stuff....single ply, dual ply, coated...whatever. not one is really better than the others. i play remos just because they seem to be available everywhere. when i go in a store and ask for a 12" emperor, even the guitar clerk knows what im talking about. its all about what you like. if you get good heads and can tune it well, you can make a shitty kit sound pretty decent. just have to find what fits the kit and your sound.

 

my bro plays drums, hes got the pearl drumset. He got remo heads and they're amazing, they sound really good.

 

EVANS G2 heads &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; remo

i have a 2003 Pearl Masters MMX kit sizes 10,12, 14,16,22 and a 6.5x14 matching snare. All Zildjian A custom cymbals. here are some pics:








remo heads are good , but prefer evans

 

evans are def better than remo's and never buy hydraulics...i have a nice premeir signia custom set with all zildian k's...**** cost me mead bills but im gonna sell it for an orange county

 

im selling my pearl 5 piece export set.

 

I always heard that drummers were just frustrated musicians who couldn't master any other instrument. Is that really true?

 

no, my dad has been a drummer since he was 14, he also plays guitar, bass, harmonica, and piano...and he sings

 

my boy plays a 4000$ custom MRP drum set and that doesnt include hardware or cymbals.. probably around 6000 for everything in his set it sounds rediculous.

I have a '60's Gretsch set. It has a great sound to it and it is very well built. I bought it off my drum teacher 15 years ago. It is very close to the picture below, but mine is a 5-piece.

As soon as my attic is refinished (half way there) I am going to buy all new cymbals and stands. I will still use the original Ludwig Speed King pedal. I love that pedal!

This picture freaked me out a bit. I saw the kid's head in the bottom corner.

 

Technically the piano is a percussion instrument.....so yeah. I play that, y0!

 

I'm a drummer. started as a guitarist, bassist. started playing drums a couple of years ago because the band I was in needed one.

I play a two piece Percussion Plus crapola kit with cracked cymbals. I f-ing love it!
