Hey all,
I'm new to the forum and the main reason i'm here is i needed to ask alot of drum related questions to a whole bunch of people for different opinions. I thought this would be the site for it. Anywho, I have been talking to the guys at my local music store for quite some time on investing in a new kit. We have gone through the works, PDP, Tama, Pearl, Gretsch upto DW. The end result was DW seemed to be the kit to go for, but i do still have questions to be answered! First i need to do a summary, my kit will have the following sized drums in Maple the reason i highlighted that is because the type of wood obviously always depends on the cost.. or actually the cost depends on the wood, but you get me!
The drums will be:
2x 18x22 Bass
7x8 Tom
8x10 Tom
9x12 Tom
11x14 Tom
13x16 Tom
7x14 Snare
Now, i have not confirmed drum sizing yet but I think i'll go with the F.A.S.T Tom sizes. Although recommendations are welcome!
The main question is, will a DW Performance Series kit with add ons be cheaper than a DW Collectors Series custom built by much? I don't want to spend alot of money when i can get a stock kit for less. Then again, what are the differences between the collectors and performance? I thought it was just the customization side aswell as smaller lugs.
Any other info needed, My ears are pealed!
Thankyou all!
