Sometimes I wish I knew something about drum gear

Needs more cowbell

It's my 3rd kit and I think it will last me quite a while. The cymbals are pretty top tier and are about 1k for all of them. The hardware...probably 500. The kit itself was 750 shell pack. Heads are about 150.



Used to have one.

I didn't know drum stuff was that expensive, dang.

Wow, fuck you lol. Really want your AAX's

You have your Splash in a really odd place (in the first few, when its between your ride and crash). I like it a lot more in your 2nd last picture (on the second post) where it's between your hats/crash.



Drums are easily the most expensive instrument out there, mainly because there's no limit to the amount of Toms/Cymbals you have. For a good, top of the line cymbal, you can easily spend $300+, sometimes more for vintage / rare. Then for a GOOD set of Custom Drums (just the shells, this is without the hardware / cymbals) you can easily spend a few grand ($10k+ if you wanted a nice custom DW kit with multiple toms ).

It really sucks being a poor drummer, as the sounds/music you can create is limited to the gear you have. I've spent months and months scavenging Kijiji/Craigslist in attempts to find High End cheap Cymbals to no avail, it's definitely not an instrument to get into if you're on a budget (don't get me wrong, you can buy a cheap starter set for a couple hundred bucks, but once you get to a certain point, you REALLY need better gear).
