Wow....sweet kit. I'm wondering what Karl is too. How much did that cost. I say close to $3000?

Yes I think around 3000$ is right. I always wonder that DW drums cost so much! but you know: DW is a great brand wich produces GREAT drums!! and this costs much money...

cdawg_2010 · #8 02-25-2006, 01:50 AM

Are you a big jazz player? anyway i love that kit and those zildjian cymbals are really nice. Also, i like the size choices on the DW drums

Bonham to the moon · #9 02-25-2006, 01:50 AM

beautiful kit, but why the complicated cymbal stand?

davodi74 · #10 02-25-2006, 02:08 AM

That is really an amazing kit. Two thumbs up!

those are just the standard arms for DW coming off the one tom/one cymbal stand. Not complicated at all. Just flexible!

el pollo diablo · #12 02-25-2006, 07:55 AM

good golly i love natural finishes.

#13 02-25-2006, 08:56 AM

Wow, very nice. I might get good enough at jazz someday to justify another drum set in jazz configuration like that!

What does that bass drum head sound like?

superbatmat · #14 02-25-2006, 12:33 PM

Thank you for your port !!!!!

I paid this drumset ~3500 for the drums and ~2000 for the cymbals....

And the sound of the bass drum is terrible... ... ...

Ohh dear, less is more! How can it be that a little kit like this costs so much money?!?! I can`t understand DW...haha :D

NYdrummerdude · #16 02-25-2006, 03:28 PM

beautiful kit dude , looks great for jazz

superbatmat · #17 02-26-2006, 11:25 AM

Yes a DW kit is very expensive but the sound, the hardware, the finish are so great !!!!!!!

DW Hardware is Very Good stuff. Especially the pedals.I play nothing but DW Pedals. Myself, I don't like DW drums at all. The craftsmanship ain't all it's cracked up to be. Hey superbatmat, Let us know when you strip out your first lug or tension rod.

foursticks · #20 02-26-2006, 02:27 PM

damn nice kit! i love jazz kits like that....

Stevesmithfan · #21 02-26-2006, 03:42 PM

The K Constantinople 22" and Hi Hats are around $500.00 each. expensive, but well worth it.

superbatmat · #22 02-26-2006, 03:51 PM

Yes K constantinople are very expensive but they sound very vrey vrey good ! And I think if you like jazz music or jazz cymbals these cymbals are a must .....

max77 · #23 02-26-2006, 04:24 PM

Perfect , perfect , perfect ...
It's looks perfect
Sound perfect
But the price isn't perfect ... for me ... héhé
My dream kit.
It's good to have dream ...

These are great light rock, blues, accoustic and album-oriented rock cymbals too!

y0avz · #25 02-27-2006, 04:27 PM

Cool vintage look on the kit...
have fun with it

superbatmat · #26 02-27-2006, 10:19 PM

yeah K constantinople are really good and versatil cymbals...

dwplayer494 · #27 02-28-2006, 04:13 AM

so each of those cymbals cost you close to 1000 a piece? how does that work?

#28 02-28-2006, 11:15 AM

The 22" K Constantinople lists for $600 or something crazy, but can be found for about $399 new on web sites. (They go for around $250-$350 on ebay).

The Erskine ride is considerably less. Maybe he's talking Canadian dollars or something?

By the way, I'd like to just mention that those are my next two cymbals exactly. I got my 20" K const. Now I just need that 22 for my main ride and the Erskine one for my rivet ride.

By the way, you said 22" K Constantinople Thin High ride...do you mean Medium Thin, as I don't see a Thin High line anywhere.

Simbe · #29 02-28-2006, 11:29 AM

I just love the natural finish on your drums! I like the concept of having only two cymbal stands to mount the two toms and the cymbals, but on your small-sized kit even this looks like awfully lot of hardware. For more traditional look I would have gotten a floor tom with legs.

How do you like those fiberskyn heads? Do they make the sound a lot drier? I am thinking of buying such heads for my set, but my drums are a bit dry to begin with.

The first posibility...This guy is rich!
second: He had worked so hard for the money or...his grandma or grandpa just loves him ;) lol...but seriously: so yes it is small but expencive and I would bet that he is just so happy with it!!

Garvin · #31 02-28-2006, 07:41 PM

This is the exact demensions of the kit I would buy if I got a DW. I loooove it.

I prefer to buy a vintage Avedis cymbal i stead for maximum $200.

skyfish · #33 02-28-2006, 09:07 PM

There is a 22" thin high. I have one too, great wobbly cymbal , it was part of the elvin jones line. I use it in jazz situations, funk, and in a hard rock band, most versatile cymbal I ever owned. I also have a 20" thin, and a 22" medium. great cymbals. I want to get the gadd session hats too, they sound sweet.

BrokenGlass · #34 02-28-2006, 09:24 PM

love the natural finish. The kit i'm getting ready to have built is natural with black hardware. Very classy kit.

#35 02-28-2006, 09:29 PM

Beautiful! I hope one day I can afford to purchase a DW kit. My two girls are making that an impossibility at the moment. :)

Nice choice. I bet it sounds great.

superbatmat · #36 03-02-2006, 11:35 AM

have too a K session hat from Gadd's line !!!!!! But I use it only in funk/rock/blues style of music !!!! nice choice !!!!

superbatmat · #37 03-15-2006, 10:22 AM

I have just a problem...

I bought REMO Fiberskin and for the snare and the Toms It's very good... But I'm not happy for the bass drum...

Can someone help me or give me some advice ?????

Drums558 · #38 03-15-2006, 02:47 PM

First off let me say I LUV YOUR KIT! It's just screaming carress me, makes me want to go back to a 4 piece for a while. Way cool.
I have a 20" DW kick that I had a hard time getting to sound the way I thought it should. I put a Super Kick1 batter and reso head on it and I luv it now. I'm not sure how it would sound tuned up for a jazz setting though. Anyway this head was the cure for my kick.
Let me know what works for you, I'm curious what you find.

hateplow · #39 03-15-2006, 02:54 PM

Very classy kit!
Those cymbals are amazing. I love constantinoples, they are really works of art!

zildjian_dude101 · #40 03-16-2006, 06:33 PM

Thats really nice dude. Very nice cymbals.
