I need help with a new drum set, and not sure what to look for.
A decent Blues set would probably suit.
I’m essentially a sax player, but when my son moved out 12 months ago and left an Ashton drum set behind I decided to give it and to my surprise I could play it. Enjoyed it for a while, but then started to feel the kit shortcommings, and decided to improve it.
It already had Rydeen cymbals, I added decent heads, a good Pearl pedal, cymbal stands, a comfy nice seat …
And now I feel that I may have outgrown the kit. It’s difficult to tune up the toms, the hardware is breaking up, I’m unhappy with the cymbals, the set is quite large, the ergonomics of toms positioning is all wrong and cannot be improved much.
I already made up my mind on the ride cymbals. It will be either Bosphorus Samba Ride or K Dark Medium Ride.
I’ll keep the pedal and the seat, and two cymbal stands.
The rest needs to be replaced. Probably smaller than this kit (the bass drum is 22”).
I was hoping for some good advice from you guys.
