I saw a great deal on these online,..10/12/14/20 for $849...my question is about the birch shells, is it true you have to use clear heads on these?..
The shells on these are 4 ply Birch and 2 ply of African mahogany. They won't be too bright with the mahagony in there. Just try different head combinations.
Nope.... these are the discontinued Session Classic's. Thicker birch and kapur shells. The new ones are called Session Select.
I've seen these side-by-side and I can't discern any huge difference (sorry), but the discontinued ones are a great value when you find them at blow out prices. I saw one vendor on eBay selling a 10/12/16/22 shell pack for $699.
???? The new ones are 2mm thinner and use African Mahogany.
OK. That doesn't mean they sound any different from the old ones.
Hey, all I know is that I'm in the market for a new kit, and I'm thinking at $850, these might be a better value than the Ludwig Neusonics or DW frequent flyers I'm considering..
