This is a fictional scenario, a little game:
What, if you could start your drumming-career all over again? What equipment would you buy, if you would have all the money in your hand, that you have spent the past couple of years on drum gear?
Which brand,
how many pieces
& which sizes?
Maybe a special colour?
Which cymbals would you buy and how many?
Which snare(s)?
[Is the set very different to what you have now?]
And why would you choose THAT drumset now? For which musical styles would you use it?
Also answer this: What was your(!) first drumset [that is: not a borrowed set or something similar] - and what kind of music did you play with it?
This is just a fun game. Let's see, how we have evolved as musicians. How many of us are still doing their original stuff, how many have changed their genre and changed their equipment accordingly? Maybe someone started his career as a metal-drummer with a big drumcastle, only to end up as a bebop-drummer or vice versa. Maybe someone began his carreer with an 20" bassdrum and prefers to play 26" or 28" bassdrums nowadays.
Pictures of the set you'd get and the one you had can be added, if you want.
