My unpopular opinions:
1: There are enough shitty drum kits in existence and on craigslist that nobody should ever have to purchase a 'new' starter kit. It's almost ecologically irresponsible to buy one new.
2: Much of the misinformation about kits and their peripherals is intentionally disseminated by manufacturers in order to get drummers to buy more product.
3: 99% of the electronic gizmos consumed by drummers (metronome, effects processors, talkback, monitor, tunebot) should be done with a personal-device (smartphone). It blows my mind that anyone would pay $100 for a metronome or guitar tuner in this day and age.
Number 1 - logical, wish I'd thought of that.
Number 2 - I use my 5 senses to determine product purchases
Number 3 - I do have a metronome and a guitar tuner (stomp box),same ones I've had for years. Do I have to have a smartphone? I don't want one. I don't need one. I was on an electronic leash for years and I am happily free of all that BS.
