First off I'm new to drummerworld so this is my first post/thread.
After looking through several other threads of other drummers monster/expensive/cool/excessive kits, I thought I'd do the opposite. This thread is to 'show off' your rubbish kits, your first kits, awful drums, no name cymbals, broken stuff etc. I'll go first..
It started of as a Premier Cabria Lite (I think) that came with the wrong size toms:
22" bass
10" hi-tom
13" hi-tom(?!?!)
14" low-tom
14" snare
&
14" hats
18" crash/ride
After deciding to go for more of a rock sound/setup, I ditched the 10" tom and bought a no name (well actually Millennium, Thomann's own brand) 16" floor tom and a Manhattan(?!) 16" crash with a Pst3 20" ride. I also bought a second hand big dog double bass pedal and a set of evans g2's for the toms and an st for the snare with a metal eq pad for the bass. I also got those little eq things by evans for the toms. Pointless. They do bugger all.
The snare sounds horrible and rattles, my cymbals are awful with the crash/ride broken also, my hi hat stand gets in the way of my double bass pedal and I cant get my bass to sound right. the only good things are the toms dont sound too bad and I quite like my big dog pedal.
I desperately want to be in a band but this is what is holding me back, I'd be laughed off stage. When I bought most of this I just left school and had a rubbish part time job and was more interested on spending my money on alcohol. Then I joined uni and I'm constantly skint now. But it's not all bad though, I'm gonna start saving my money from my uni loans and my new job and buy decent cymbals (maybe aax's or alphas) and NOT go and buy the first b8 cymbal pack i find. Then in October I'm 21 so I'm gonna get a new kit as a big birthday present, probably the pdp 805. I think this will good as an intermediate rock kit.
I'd be interested to see how people reply to this and if people will share their kits. I did it out of sheer desperation. Also I'd like to hear your drum owning dreams for the future such as mine
