About to buy a new drumset. Opinions needed[views:4812][posts:27]_______________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 6:43pm - Niccolai nli ""] I've been focusing on a PDP CZ series. Anyone have any input and recomendations reguarding sets, or where to get the best deal? I'm not sure what color I feel like getting either. [img] [img] [img] |
| ____________________________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 6:47pm - menstrual_sweatpants_disco ""] Don't do it. Just pick up guitar. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 6:53pm - Niccolai nli ""] I already play guitar like a madman. plus, I recently bought an ESP Horizon NT II, a mesa cab, and a crate half stack, so I'm all set with guitar gear for a while. and my pearl export just isn't cutting it anymore. |
| ______________________________ [Jul 12,2006 7:20pm - blue ""] im not too drum savvy, but what i have seen is that the pdp stuff if great for the money. moe can help you out a bit i think. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 8:11pm - luke not logged in ""] i've played a pacific LX for 5 years now and i love the kit. i'm not too familiar with the newer pacific kits but i'm sure they're great for the money. all i know is that the kit sounds great mic'd or acoustic. i'd go for it |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 11:09pm - niccolai ""] There are no PDP dealers near me, and I don't want to order some shit off faggot ass musiciansfriend, so it looks like I might haveto bite the bullet and get something else. lame. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 11:11pm - DEATH2ALL ""] GC carries PDP. Where do u live? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 11:14pm - niccolai ""] 30 miles form the nearest GC. I was at guitar center today in RI, but they wanted 1200 for this set, it's only like 9 on musiciansfriend with a free splash and shit... But I've had nothing but problems with musicians friend and don't want to go through the whole shipping process. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 11:21pm - Abyss ""] Nice set are cymbals inclued? Out of curiousity do you use a single kick to blast or a double kick? |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 12,2006 11:33pm - niccolai ""] single for a regular blast, I can single at fast enough speed, but for longer blast beats I use the double. less fatigue on my legs. No, cymbals aren't included, but musicians friend comes with a free 14" crash |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 13,2006 1:42am - INFECTORAMA ""] dood, get 20 inch kick drum(s) counterintuitive, but they sound bigger than 22s, due to their being tighter and punchyer |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 13,2006 9:34am - Josh_hates_you ""] used on craigslist. or in the want ads. you could prabably get a sick tama performer or pearl session series with cymbals and everything for around 1000. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 13,2006 9:58am - niccolai ""] I want to avoid pearl and tama. Also not really in to ludwigs. I was thinking mapex in second place, but there are also no mapex dealers near me. |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 13,2006 10:12am - Josh_hates_you ""] http://boston.craigslist.org/msg/181241614.html a really nice mapex but it is more than you wanna pay. i like the high end tama and pearl stuff. actually i hate how pearl toms mount thru the drum. you might like TAYE drums. really good for the money. also AYOTTE if i had the money i'd go for an ayotte or a spaun. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 13,2006 10:15am - niccolai ""] I was thinking spaun, but also kindof expensive. Taye makes bigger drums, I'm into fusion kits. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:28pm - niccolai ""] Up |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:31pm - powerkok ""] Id say Mapex>PDP...but thats just my opinion. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:32pm - niccolai ""] I like Mapex sets alot, but PDP has a more reasonable price for a maple fusion set. Mapex hardware is amazing, once I hit the lotery, I'm probably going to buy a janus by mapex double bass pedal. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:33pm - Joshtruction ""] there is a really nice used mapex kit at my local daddys junky music. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:39pm - niccolai ""] Any idea if it's a fusion set? I'll check into it. I kindof have my heart set on the PDP though, I keep looking around for one. |
| ________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 5:50pm - ian s ""] BUY SONOR. the drums they make, rule. the force series... even being lowend, aren't bad, but if you can spend the money, get higher end sonors. yeah |

| ______________________________________ [Jul 14,2006 6:16pm - Joshtruction ""] dartmouth |

| __________________________________ [Jul 18,2006 10:26am - sxealex ""] yea sonor drums rule but they are expensive as hell |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 18,2006 12:41pm - niccolai ""] Damn that spauns nice. More than I can afford to pay, considering it's used and doesn't come with the hardware. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go ahead and get the pdp. Where can I get the best deal on it? anyone here play pdp? |
