I know that the Designer came in different shell types, but broadly speaking how did they compare to the RC in terms of weight?
To explain: I have an RC kit that I'm looking to change - nowt wrong with it per se, just fancy a kit in different sizes . . .
I think ideally I'd go for something like the Sonor Delites as I hear that they were fairly lightweight owing to thin shells and not a lot of metalwork. This appeals to me as the only real drawback to living with the RC for me is the heft of the thing.
As far as the Designer goes, a kit in my preferred sizes caught my eye the other day but it's too far away for me to try in person. I'd be happy to take a punt on it as far as the sound and build quality go, but it does appear to have a lot of hardware on the shells. The kit in question has the maple light shells, if that makes a difference, but I was just wondering if I would end up with another very nice but bloody heavy drum kit?
