Re: Hello all drummers

Thanks for reply Homeularis.
I found a mapex voyager kit for 500. is this kit any good? it comes complete with cymbals and hardware as well as remo heads.
 
Re: Hello all drummers

I want to know if there is much of a difference between a dw 2000 and dw 3000? I want to make it my main pedal and stick without it for a few years and use money on sticks, cymbalS and stands.

The 2000 is a lower-cost, single-chain, lower-performance pedal. The 3000 is what used to be called the 7000, a good, solid, well-reviewed intermediate/jobber pedal with a double chain and more adjustment points than any pedal at its price point. It's essentially where pro quality was about 5-10 years ago. I own one, and I played on a 7000 for years prior to it. If you can scratch up the few extra bucks but can't quite afford a 5000, the 3000 should be a good pedal.

The Mapex Voyager looks OK.
Its a beginner kit but it looks pretty stout for a beginner.
I think it has basswood shells which is the standard beginner material.

If its new, the cymbals suck but Its still worth $500.

At the very least, you will have to eventually replace the cymbals.

I'm sure there are some better deals for a complete used kit.

Keep looking and see what you find.

Re: Hello all drummers

i decided to stick with my kit. My friend sold me his dw 9000 single pedal for $100 and my old pair of pearl double pedals. I bought an evans emad bass head and sound percussions double boom to add and decided to save the other 275 and put it towards a future kit.
