I took a bunch of gigs this summer playing wineries/ local venues. This is great news! However, my main kit (Gretsch Brooklyn with some percussion add-ons, complementary cymbals etc..) is mic'd up and happy where it is. I have been trying to research an affordable ($900 or less) kit that travels well but doesn't sacrifice quality of sound or projection. I have found lots of opinions on what to buy, but I have seen no one say: "this is the one, single best travel kit". The three I am interested in are the Sonor AQ2 Safari Maple, Drum SE Flyer and the Taye cocktail kit. I know there is a DW compact kit, but the snare sounds bad from the videos I have seen. Is there one I am missing that really has more cahones than the rest? Right now I am leaning towards the Sonor Safari Maple, but I would really love to hear some opinions or suggestions.
