I'm having quite a bit of success using "off" brands. Off may not be the right word. Maybe "not-the-major" brands.
Our combo plays once a month at a venue in a very limited space depth wise, with a short wall in front of us. I looked at two-legged hi-hat stands and they were pretty expensive, except for one made by Griffin on Amazon. It was relative inexpensive. I bought it. Works great it's very rugged. It weighs a ton and heavy to lug around, but it works great.
Can't fit a 12" or even 10" kick drum in space. Found a Dixon Little Roomer at Music Go Round. Wow does that kick drum sound awesome. Nicely finished, too.
Music Go Round had some kick drum pedals for $30. They're unbranded. They have holes in the footboard (if anyone knows brand let me know; I'd like to buy another one). It's great. Simple no frills but very easy to play.
Anybody else have success stories using "off" brand equipment?
