Impress The Aliens!

Let's say we have a light-speed spacecraft that can negotiate wormholes and we want to impress an alien civilization we've discovered who worship the act of drumming.

Not such a big stretch of the imagination, eh? Now...

We want to send an ambassador set of drums to impress them in the hopes that they will do the same. Unfortunately, cymbals can't survive the traverse so it's strictly a shell pack we're sending them.

Which (non-boutique) top-of-the-line holy grail brand of drums do we send? I say Gretsch

What say you?

"Send me something GOOD!"
 
First Act. They'll be so unimpressed they'll leave us alone for a thousand more years.
 
So you want them to send us a crap kit??? I think not!!!
 
(biased answer) I'd send them a set of pristine vintage Swiv-o-matic Rogers. Probably a 60's set with the smooth gray interior and spotless hardware.
 
If you have wormholes then you don't need to travel at/beyond the speed of light.
 
Splitting hairs, eh?

I never said we needed to engage the warp drive - just that the ship could.

Pay attention!
 
Tell them the kick drum melted a little going through the atmosphere.

If we do choose that, we'll need to send extra bass drum heads for sure.
 
I think it's fairly obvious that this would be the set

I would keep the Rogers for myself and sent them my Tama kit!
 
Why would cymbals not be able to make the journey?
 
Despite my highly intelligent look, I have no idea why wormholes destroy cymbals.

We need an expert in wormholes to chime in!

I think we had better send them some of these drums.
Otherwise, they might invade our planet to pilfer our resources, knowledge and technology.
It's better that they think we are a primitive society.

I sure don't want them sending us primitive crap...

I'm sticking with a 5 piece Gretsch shell pack!!!
