To look dumb and make buying cases harder, why else?

Especially when finding a case for a 20x22 bass drum is already a pain!

*double take*

Wait...what?!?!? That kit is not made of cherry!

[opentune]

....3:37 of silence.... pans of drum heads and their packaging. i didn't get to hear your sparkly drums. sound is everything. who's travis barker anyway?

[Bo Eder]

Well, definitely a nice set of drums. Good recording as well to give a sense of what the kit sounds like mic'd up. Good job, enjoy them!

But I thought this drum company was ah ing a rocky time as of late? Are they still in business or did someone buy the name and are now cranking out drums from China? Has their story ever been confirmed?

Oh ok. I thought maybe the bigger hoop gave it a different sound or helped with tuning or something. Im kinda new to drumming. Sorry.

It's a lot like spray tanning until you're orange. For some reason, the people who spend money on this think it looks awesome, everyone else just shrugs and thinks it makes you look douchey.

[AirborneSFC]

Looks cool!! That being said I don't see how this is the only choice for punk. Lots of amazing drummers playing for punk bands playing all sorts of kits.

Having played in a lot of punk bands and even on tour all I can say is get yourself a good set of microphones so people can actually hear what you play. MxPx, Useless ID, No Use For A Name and so many more great pop punk bands with great drummers.

[BacteriumFendYoke]

Rather than buying a fancy front hoop, buy a metronome? There are many free alternatives if you want to run one from your PC...

Hey now, know who you're talking to. That's definitely not the truth. I'll leave it at that, padawan.
