I guess my question is when you all go into the studio do you HAVE to have your kit or can you use the studios?
Thank You

Every time I've walked into a studio I'm about to play in, the drums are not set up, so there goes any time I would have saved.
I've also never been fortunate enough to see an awesome drum set, all perfectly maintained with perfect heads in a studio. I'm sure there are a lot of places that take their drums seriously, but I wouldn't count on it from the get-go.
It might even take you longer to set up because you're unfamiliar with the drums and there might be setup issues you didn't know about.
No, I wouldn't HAVE to use my own drums, but I would probably bring them because I have less faith in other people than myself when it comes to drums, even if it's the "specialist" recording engineer who "knows" how to get a great sound on the house kit.
