Novice drummer question here fellas/ladies...
Is there any sense in cobbling together a drum kit out of used drums of different makes or is that asking for a disaster?
Could I buy a Pearl snare and throw it together with a used Tama kick drum and some Ludwig toms etc? Here in the Philippines, there's lots of used gear kicking around online. I'm in the market for a snare and hi-hat... but eventually, want to expand to a 5 piece kit. If I put some coin into one brand do I pretty much need to stick to that brand for the rest of the kit? Is that the general way of building a kit?
Or will that start to create problems of difference in racks and hardware on down the road?
