I am a semi-beginner drummer with (I feel), workable competency. I have a few friends/acquaintances with whom I've traveled with before (I played bass). When I started improving on the drums, I began thinking about the possibility of playing out/gigging/doing small shows like those. I have a nice kit at home and it's too nice to chuck in the back of a car and travel with, I would like for it to stay at home as my studio kit.
There is an item (a snare) in my crosshairs that I would love to try out and that I think would be a great investment. However, for around the same price I could put together a solid travel shell pack/soft cases/heads.
There aren't any prospects of travel/gigging in my future as of yet. Due to me wanting to continue to work hard and improve before I subject the public to my playing also the pandemic doesn't help. But I want to be ready and comfortable when the opportunity arises.
I currently have a good snare, but the snare in question has a couple advantages over the ones I have (different tuning system, different depth, different shell material, etc.). And if I traveled, this would definitely be the snare I put on the travel kit anyway.
I guess this is a more 'now vs. plan for the future' type question.
TL;DR: "I would buy....."
A snare drum that would give me a considerable advantage in studio/practice/and live use
or
A gigging kit even though I am not currently gigging, but I will be in the future (circumstances permitting).
This is all just stirring around in my head and I felt like starting a conversation with you guys. Thanks!
**I can afford either of these options so this isn't a rash or irresponsible purchase that'll get my lights turned off haha. It's been wisely budgeted and well thought-out. **
