How do we like playing other people's kits?
I had a good time on a comrades kit at a jam yesterday. Hayman 20,14,12,14 with Istanbul Agop Turk ride, paiste 602 hats. The owner was a lefty so had to swap hats and floor tom round and shift the snare but kept but kept everything else the same
Despite being awkward ( owner is about 5inch shorter than me ), I had a whale of a time. I prefer the tones from my own gear and struggled with dynamics on unfamiliar surfaces but there were 3 tenors all pushing so didn't matter too much
I suffer practice room kits as they are often in poor condition but love playing other drummers setups
A drummer once described playing someone else's kit as like wearing someone their underpants. I guess this makes me a pervert
