I'm looking to order a set of DW drums. I'm looking at the Santa Monica series and have some questions. I want to try and get the best set possible within parameters. I'm looking at the sizes below but would love feed back on some of the items. These will stay home and I play mostly funk, rock and some jazz. I want a smallish set that sounds great for me...and is fun to play!
20x14 Bass - Any feedback on depth?
10x7
12x7 Crazy to have both the 10 and 12s at 7" depth?
14x? Floor Tom - What depth would you recommend?
14x4 Snare
My questions follow. What bass drum depth would you recommend? I love the sound of 10" toms, but I am not crazy about 12"; I am looking at ordering both at a 7" depth, any downside? Based on these sizes, would you recommend a 14x12 floor tom?
I think that I am going to go with a satin oil finish. Leaning towards Azure...any other recommendations? Last, I am leaning towards the Santa Monica shells...would you go straight maple or any other wood type? Any crazy bearing edge ideas?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
