Specs? A link? Nothing? How could I make an educated opinion with nothing but "Its a DW"

[muto91]

Well, i was wondering if DW in general was good. not about the kit i was getting

To put it into perspective, it's like you're going onto a car forum and asking does General Motors make good cars?

DW makes expensive, high-end kits. Generally they are regarded as good, but for the price you can get better. We need to know specifics about the kit and the price to tell you if it's a good deal.

DW is considered by many as a premium brand of drums. Whether or not they appeal to you is your call.

gotcha! thanks guys! ill get back to yall with everything about it! thanks! :)

Being that it is a DW is all you need to know....Pass.

dont yall just love the people who register here to ask one (often simple, easily found with a google search) question and thats it. completely exploiting this beautiful resource!

Yup. That's the greatest :)

Ok I have to ask, how can you not know about DWs reputation?

They build pro level gear, as with any other drum line that is at the top it all boils down to personal preference.

I happen to love them and own 2 kits. If the price is right you simply can't go wrong.

thats what im wondering..

but, i didnt when i joined =P...so i guess ill let it slide...

DW kits are nice. its all in opinion tho..i know guys who hate them, and then guys who love them...

Just because somebody loves them, doesn't mean that they're the greatest drums in the world. Just because somebody thinks that they're way too overpriced and over-hyped doesn't mean that they aren't still great drums.

I, personally, don't think that DWs sound any better than a Tama Starclassic or a Ludwig Classic Maple. Just different. I think that the particular set of DW tubs that I have is the set for me, and if they were a set of Tamas or Ludwigs and they sounded like these drums do, then I would have a set of Tamas or Ludwigs...
