Alright, not hate, but just a kind of disdain for them.
Maybe it's me being a bit particular. There's a very specific sound that I go for; it's quietly dynamic, woody, brushy and played on a small kit - I only use two snares, my floor tom bass and a set of hi-hats. Style wise; Bernard Purdie meets Clyde Stubblefield meets Tony Allen with some rudiment-based grooves thrown in (minus some class and feel, but it's getting there).
That said, I could tolerate a four piece with hats, crash n' ride. Maybe even a second ride. But as soon as you add that splash, that kit turns ugly.
Not a big fan of huge kits at all, but I can appreciate them. Except those splash cymbals, yuck!
I bet I'm alone here...
