That's the only good reason to swap badges, to scam people. Might as well go all the way and try and make a little dough.
We don't care that he got Yamahas.
We're not even close to beating this horse dead yet lol.
PDP kit with DW badges...?

There was this kid in high school (circa 1997) who had a mustang LX with the 4 cylinder engine. It was in perfect condition, and he replaced all the cosmetic stuff, got GT wheels, chrome dual exhuast, 5.0 badges, the correct steering wheel and shifter, etc. It looked just like a GT and was the sharpest mustang at school by far.
And we all laughed, because he had gone to all that effort because he wanted a GT, but it was still just a 4 banger. Still slow.
PDP kits are quality. Be proud of it.

I've been lacerated for suggesting that putting DW branding on a PDP kit was a bad idea. The cacophony of PDPISADWCOMPANYSOITCOUNTS rationalization was dreadful.
You know, I can't think of a company other than DW that does that - market its import drums as a completely different brand, I mean. From Ludwig to Sonor, they all import Chinese kits, and they all put their own branding on them. They'd make a SLAUGHTER - worse than a mere killing - if they rebranded PDP as DW - all they'd need to change is badges and logo kick heads and keep them at that price point.
...of course, they could continue to sell DW reso kick heads to the fanbois as well as PDP kits if they let things continue as they are...
...never mind. ;-)

DW on a PDP kit. Don't do it. Your average fan doesn't know the difference in drums 1 kit to the next, be it sonar, tama, pearl dw or pdp.
The people who do know the difference will be your fellow musicians, specifically fellow drummers. To them it will seam like Rolls Royce hood ornament on a Volkswagen.
If you buy a PDP kit be proud of it. PDP make good drums. Worst case senerio on the bottom of the PDP head it says made by DW

No Grunt. The saga has ended........but much like the kid with the cape who legged it from the gig and got his mum to pick up the pieces, the shame will endure into Drummerworld folklore!!
I wonder what badges he's decided to put on his Yammies?

I love how these threads live on after the OP ditches their initial quest. How did I miss out the cape story!? Darn it.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I just recently bought my first PDP kit, CX series, made in Mexico, all maple shells, gorgeous red sparkle wrap, just an all around excellent kit and I'm very proud of it. However, I can't find PDP logo front bass drum heads online. Tons of DW logo heads from seemingly endless stores, but no PDP. So I bought a DW Classic coated white, vintage logo, and put it on my PDP. Am I an animal? I own and gig a DW Collectors too! I don't feel like I'm trying to "fool" anyone, so where do I fit in on this?

There are no Keller shell PDP kits, and DW has made its own shells since 1997. Just by coincidence my DW kit does have Keller shells (yup, it's old), but your joke is still, I don't know, kind of not true or funny.

You would have no problems buying a bass reso with no logo if you couldn't get a PDP one, but ultimately they are your drums, your money, your decision and, who really cares?

I had an '87 4-cylinder Mustang. Here's the secret--most girls didn't know the difference, so I got to impress the ladies while spending less on the car, the insurance, AND the gas. But it was red and I was a teenage boy, so cops pulled me over for just existing when I drove it. LOL

I'm only going to half quote you too. You half make sense so it only seems fair. One more time THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY KELLER SHELL PDP KITS NOR HAVE THERE BEEN KELLER DW DRUMS FOR ALMOST TWENTY YEARS. Sorry for yelling but you seem to not hear well or read things fully. Also there are no "Keller badges", oh yeah and, my kit is A DW COLLECTORS! So it came with DW badges.
