Well, I am somewhat new to the forums here - I came a few months back when I started my search for a new kit. Since then I've been on here almost every day reading as much as I could... I've asked a few questions here and there, read reviews and opinions- soaking up as much information as all of you folks would provide - and I really started listening to different flavors of drums. What I was really looking for was a simple 4 piece, with a virgin 20" kick, 12" and 14" toms and a snare... but I wanted something a little unique - and of course I wanted all that for about a grand. I had been playing a Sonor Sonic Plus for 8 years on and off and decided it was time for something new... my band is hoping to record early next year and I wanted something that would shine. I tossed around ideas of Gretsch Renown Groove Kit (although price was an issue), a few used Keller customs like Phattties and even a used Pork Pie... but none of them really spoke to me. I really liked the idea of vintage, but I got lost in the years and years of different makes models and sounds....
Then I stumbled upon these for sale on Ebay - and couldn't believe my eyes.
I had read a lot about them - read every post about their construction - every decision Rob made about them. I listened over and over to the mp3s... I was astonished! I couldn't believe it! And to top it off, I was the only bidder - so I got a pretty darn good deal on them too. I still am having a hard time comprehending that I got an African Mahogany Unix kit in my budget.
They arrive next week, and I'm so excited. Now all I have to do is get my skills up to the level of that kit - must find the pocket! Wish me luck.
