Hey guys,
I've made a really bad mistake.... I owned a Mapex Meridian Maple kit and then decided to switch to a 'Gretsch Brooklyn'. Now I know you may all be thinking well this is no bad move... but when I heard this in the drum-shop it had a lot of attack and it really felt like it hit you every time you played one of the drums. (Despite the fact that the general opinion is that it's a warm-sounding kit).
Now.... I have it and it's just not doing it for me at all. I'm mostly a guy who plays progressive rock kind of stuff, but I am pretty versatile. When I hit it there just seems to be nothing like it had before when I heard it in the shop, it's now become very warm sounding and I've tried many different tunings with it to try and at least get some attack.
Please help me.... what do I do..... I should still get decent money for it... still in tip-top condition and I think I need to move it to a more-loving home and get a kit which is better suited for me.
Any thoughts/help appreciated on my dilemma.
