For the past year and a half I have been playing in a band where I leave a drum kit that was given to me at the rehearsal house. The kit is a C and C 22" x 14 or 16 bass drum, a 12" overhead tom and a 13" that I installed floor legs to. The original snare broke so I bought a very cheap eight lug pearl steel 14". I also leave the hi hat stand and bass pedal at the house. I travel with cymbals and stick bag and some other items. I practice in my own home on a Pearl masters kit, and do gigs with Gretsche Catalina jazz kit.
Over the time I have been playing with this band I have slowly changed the way I was playing to make the practice kit sound good. But, I did not realize how till we had agig on Friday, where I found that I played even better on the Catalina Jazz kit. I like the jazz kit because it is so portable.
Have you found also that playing on a bad kit makes you better?
