Hi!
First thread here on drummerworld, just looking for some advice. I am currently on the search for a good shell pack to replace my current rather crappy set I've used only for practice since I was a kid. I'm now beginning to gig semi-frequently, and need some better equipment. I can manage cymbals as it is, but simply need better drums. I found this pack on guitar center (https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/PDP-by-DW/MX-SERIES-Drum-Kit-115489015.gc) which seemed like a decent deal for the price of that kit. But am not too sure if it would suit my needs too well. I also found a sonar safari shell pack for $300~ and found out that it would probably serve me pretty well. Just wanted to consult some other drummers who are more knowledgeable than myself before I purchase anything.
This Gretsch kit also seemed like a pretty good deal. (https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Gretsch-Drums/Catalina-Birch-Drum-Kit.gc), and a yamaha stage pack as well (https://www.guitarcenter.com/Used/Yamaha/Stage-Custom-Drum-Kit-115828941.gc)
The only problem is obviously that both these kits are used.
