Last year I sold a few kits so when I had a little bit of extra money, I wanted to buy a kit. I initially bought a Pearl BLX but that kit went down the tubes due to faulty shipping. Had to return that kit. Then I bought a Sonor Sonic Plus II kit for $399 but when that kit came in today, all the toms has been cut down, leaving holes above every lug and there’s a big crack on top of the kick drum. That’s more work than I want in a kit and I wasn’t expected that. So back that kit goes. Then, I went on GC.com and saw a new Crush Sublime kit with a 12x8 rack, a 16x14 floor tom, a 24x17 kick and a 6x14 snare for $519. The shells are North American Maple with reinforcement rings. I played one a few years ago and liked the sound so I took the plunge. Added the 10x7 and 14x13 on a blowout sale from Reverb.
I know many don’t believe in Crush but my personal experience is different. I also bought 5.5x14 Crush aluminum that sounds great and is seamless.
Here are some pics of my most recent acquisitions.
