Travis Barker = Overrated.
A drum kit is a drum kit. I paid £800 for my Mapex Meridian Maple and then about £300 on upgrades. And it's TRUMENDOUS!
Where as paying what? £2000 - 3000 for a 4 piece acrylic drum kit signed by Travis Barker when I can get a Ludwig vintage Tivoli for £1000? Better deal.
I'm not paying for Travis's signature. I'm not a wannabe drummer. Sure, I look up to Hawkins, Grohl, Gadd, Bonzo and Hernandez but I would only buy a signature model of they're drum kit if I REALLY wanted to, and I would buy the Dave Grohl signature series kit which is being released soon. But I have no money, doesn't bother me. Because I have my dream set up right here and it will last many years rather than an acrylic kit cracking and then paying soooo much money to get it repaired.
The only money I need to spend on my drums now it Heads, sticks and maybe some cymbal upgrades. NOT A SIGNATURE DRUM KIT WHEN I ALREADY HAVE A DECENT KIT I LOVE!
