Hello all,
It's been a long 25 years but I'm thinking of getting my chops back. My drumming has never been too far away from thought but life got in the way and it's easy to make excuses once starting a business, family, golf and other things demand time.
My son saw some pictures of me rocking out so it's all the excuse I need once he said he'd like to try drumming.....
I seem to remember there was overall better quality readily available with the cheaper kits kicking around the sides. Today it seems the opposite, pay a ton for a great product but there's lots of mediocre kits on the floor ready for sale.
For now I'm at least 6 months away from a dedicated practice sound room so I'll pick up a pad and start practicing my rudiments...Love me a paradiddle.
I used to own a set of Ludwig maples with a mess of zildjians, goodness have they gotten expensive. But I do remember they were expensive at the time also. With the lead time I have I'm going to keep an eye out for a good used set or two and maybe piece together a nice package. Buying new seems a little pointless with so much popping up on the market, maybe there's an electronic revolution that I'm not aware of.
Anyway, great forum here, looking forward to hanging around....
Paul
