    For $5,000?

    Orange County Percussion, Ayotte, and DW. No question.

    Righteous! I use the same kit: Tama Starclassic Birch. The bass drum is absolutely huge. An yes! they are beautiful drums - mine are a lovely, lovely walnut laquer.

    Lux, if you're going to invest in some drums, does that also mean cymbals too? Tama Starclassics (birch) might not be a bad choice in that case, since you'd still have a fair deal of the 5k left over for some nice cymbals (and maybe hardware too). I paid $2400 for my 5-piece SC's kit-only, Canadian. Although I did hear that Tama has increased their prices...

    Yamaha also has some really nice kits in the same price-range, I belive. But if you're looking to spend that 5k on -just- drums, then you could go for Ayotte, DW, high-end Pearl.... there's a lot to choose from.

    I personally wouldn't spend that kind of money on a tama or pearl. I would go for a DW, orange county, or yamaha.

    “ ahh…. Yaa…. If you trust me at all… if you wanna listen to me at all… which you certainly don’t have to. Speaking from experience I can tell you that things change. You could believe me, you don’t have to. They probably won’t change, unless you make them. The best way to change something around you, something you don’t like, is.. to change yourself. I don’t think you want other people changing you.. I think.. I think.. the only person you want changing you… is yourself. So if you ain’t happy…. If you’re reading magazines about generation x’s and thinking ‘ya im one of them’ well fuck that…. Don’t let anybody tell you who you are. No… No…. No one can tell me who I am. I can tell you who I am but that would be a long story… I can tell you who I am and it wouldn’t fit in a Rolling Stone…. It wouldn’t fit in a video… it wouldn’t… its my life…. Its your life. Youre the only one that knows who you are. I hope you know who you are. If you don’t know who you are, figure it out. Cause you are some body. And Im probably stating the obvious. But I just thought I would do it anyway. So if you fell like you got a piece of duct tape on your mouth, if you feel like you cant speak. Take it off, Speak up. Speak your Mind. Shout it Out.
