I never said that. I said they make great shells. Who cares. Your right, its how I perceive it. Your opinion is your opinion, and if you don't agree with me, that is ok. I would rather have a drum made with a keller shell over a Tama or a pearl shell. Thats my opinion, not FACT. The fact that the shells are unfinished, and then finished, drilled edges put on, sanded down and painted are in fact whats called a custom drum, and that is a FACT. I posed correct information as well as well as stating my opinion. I am calling you out on it. I have been playing drums a long time, and have played many different types of drums. Its my preference. My opinion is I would rather play american made drums over Asian drums any day.
Ahhh no.Custom is something made to individual specifications.Custom,is ONE of a kind.What you're getting is a few of thousands of shells they make,for some boutique builders ,hardware hangers and finishers....so that's not really custom.Fact.What I said about custom built shells is true.Gretsch uses Keller shells,but made to Gretschs specs.Fact.You can't buy those shells,unless you buy a Gretsch drum,do you see the difference.Fact.Your drums aren't one of a kind,as I can bet real money that if someone want a kit like your,they can buy one from Qdrums...tomorrow.Fact.
There's also nothing wrong with Asian made drums,as Tama,Pearl and Yamaha took everybody to school in the late 70's.early 80's,and raised the bar in how a set of drums,and hardware ...is suppose to be made.They are one of the biggest reasons, why...American made stuff is as good as it is today
Your drums are off the shelf unfunished shells,un finished raw yes,but still stock off the shelf drum shells,the same as you can buy on Ebay .If for some reason ,you think that Keller custom built your drum shells,then you have deluded yourself.If you're a good wood finisher,you can buy Keller shells from say Precision drums,have them drill and edge them,and you can then hang the hardware,and finish them ....viola'.Keller drum set you can call Frank or Fred is you want.
I get the who raw and sanded,drilled edged and finished thing...nothing new there,and I don't care what you play.,but I stated facts,just use a couple of mouse clicks and see that my info is fact,not opinion.
Yes Keller make good shells,buy they don't make special individual orders,unless you buy them by the truck load,like Gretsch does.Fact.In your OPINION,Keller make the best shells,I don't agree....see that there,that's called an opinion.I think C & C are miles ahead of Keller and so is Eames.You should have listened to a C & C built kit first.
I also don't have to quote you,to know how brilliant I am..That kind of insulting is kind of petulant child stuff no.This isn't youtube.If someone disagrees with you,than make a better argument,and not start hitting below that waist.
Lastly,the ONLY reason I responded to your post is because you're trying to call me out,on something you clearly..misunderstand,and maybe should have done a bit more research on.
