"Uncle Larry"
My 6 piece band decided it had run it's course so it kind of broke up...which leaves me an extra kit. I kept a kit at their rehearsal space... a nice PDP CX kit in WMP I got off CL for $125.00 (steal)
So now that the band is no more, I decided to try gigging the PDP kit. They replaced the Pearl kit you see in my avatar.
I'm very glad I did. The PDP's have a thinner shell. I was growing weary of the 7.5 mm Pearl shell. Very well built shell, a breeze to tune, but too thick for my tastes in toms. They sounded too tubby to me on the recording.
The PDP's.... they just sound better on stage to me, nicer tone, and they also record better. The build quality on the PDP's surprised me. Perfect edges. Plus they are lighter to carry, hey I'll take all the advantages I can get. So I'm real happy with the PDP's. I actually like the tone better than my DW's.
I guess the moral of this story is my PDP kit sounds better onstage and in the audience than my Pearls and DW's. I guess I'll have to change my avi.
