Hey everyone
I started drumming last year for my school's pitt band. This year, I joined the jazz band as well. I personally like playing jazz (as well as latin, funk and fusion, but more so jazz) a lot more than rock, pop, metal, and whatever else, but I play a lot of genre's.
I'm scouting for a drum kit at this point. I don't need one of those cheap beginner kits, or at least I don't think so
Being a minor, my budget is $2000 MAX, ideally around 1200 or so though. I've been looking around for the past few days though, and the Gretsch Catalina Club Jazz kits look really nice. I also went to SamAsh the other day and played on a Pearl VBX kit, which was nice.
would I be in a better position (financially and in terms of quality and durability) buying a rock kit or a jazz kit? With or without hardware? Any recommendations as well?
Thanks in advance.
