Hi! I'd like to get some comparisons of the drum lines in the subject in regards to quality of the build. I'm talking about wrap, hardware, etc...
Here's an example... I've owned a Classic Maple kit, as well as a DW Collectors kit. The overall "feel" of the wrap, hardware, etc... was much higher on the DW kit. For the floor tom legs, you'd have to tighten them on the Classic Maples, wiggle them a bit, then tighten them more. The DW had none of that and overall, seemed nicer to me.
With that said... I'm wanting to purchase my "last" drumset (ha ha, I know that's not reality) and I want something that is the highest quality possible at around the $2k mark.
I also want specific sizes and kits from the three lines in the subject are available right now online without having to place a special order.
Thoughts? Is the Gretsch Brooklyn "nicer" compare to the Classic Maple or Keystone?
