Hello guys!
I'm going to give you some of my opinions on drum gear. I know that most of you won't care. And no, I'm not trying to annoy anybody or start fights or whatnot. And I'm certainly not telling people what gear to use. You can use whatever gear you want ultimately. What's right for me may not be right for somebody else.
24 inch ride cymbals: I would think that a 22 would be big enough for most drummers. A 24 just seems like it would be way too heavy and bulky.
Cymbal companies that make 3 different lines of budget cymbals
Cymbal companies that have too many lines of cymbals
Dark colored bells on cymbals
Those new cymbals with the pre-drilled holes or other shapes cut in to the cymbal. Okay I'm not really against those, I'm against the price. Should be cheaper in price because they took out some of the metal of the cymbal. Less metal should equal less price.
Cymbals that are any other color besides gold or have some type of tattoo artwork design on them
Tattoo artwork on drum heads
3 floor toms on a kit. In my opinion you only need 2.
16 inch high hats
26 inch bass drum. What, a 24 is too small?
LP Percussion being too pricey
Ratchet-style tom arms
Black or gold colored hoops, lugs and bolts. This stuff should always be silver.
6 inch toms are too small. They should have just started at 8. The 6 is too small to hit accurately in my opinion.
Tama Octobans are way too expensive and always have been
Ludwig Vistalite kits are too expensive. $4000 for a Bonham-style kit? What are you nuts? I don't think so. I don't care how awesome they sound or look. 4 grand is a lot of money.
I might add more stuff to this list in the future. Thanks. Take care. And also, Rock And Roll Forever!!!
