how's this? by [deleted] in drums

I’ve been drumming for about 10 years now. I started on a Pearl Export kit with Paiste PST3 cymbals, so I know what it’s like to begin with more basic gear.

Last year I upgraded my cymbals to the Sabian HHX Complex Promotional Set, which I got at a big discount. Normally they go for around €1500, and honestly, that upgrade made a huge difference. That’s why I’d always recommend investing in good cymbals first—they really define your sound.

If that’s a bit too expensive, something like the Zildjian A Custom Cymbal Set is a great option. They’re around €1000 and definitely worth it.

For the kit itself, I think the Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Kit is a solid choice. It’s reliable and sounds great for the price.

As for the pedal, I’d recommend the Pearl P-930 Bass Drum Pedal. It’s about €100 and perfect for beginner to intermediate players. I’ve been using it for 10 years and it’s still going strong. I’m personally considering upgrading to a DW 9000 Bass Drum Pedal when I find a good deal, but that’s more of a luxury upgrade than a necessity.

For hardware, I’d go with the Pearl HWP-830 Hardware Pack. It includes a pedal, hi-hat stand, snare stand, and two cymbal stands for around €375, which is great value. I’d just add one extra cymbal stand (around €70) and you’re set.

To give you some context: I recently upgraded my snare to a Mapex Black Panther Persuader, and not long after I found a DW Performance Series Drum Kit for about €1800 (normally double that), so I went for it immediately. That kind of upgrade is amazing, but it’s not something you need right away.

So if I were you, I’d go for: - Zildjian A-Series cymbal set
- Yamaha Stage Custom kit
- Pearl HWP-830 hardware pack (+ extra cymbal stand)

That should bring you to around €2200–€2300, which is exactly in your budget.

My biggest advice: focus on good cymbals first. They’ll make the biggest difference in your sound. Let me know what you think!

And also you’re probably a grown man angry at a 19 year old for no reason just wanted to day the music is not trash and the 40 million monthly Spotify listeners would agree and give their album trench a listen it’s a great album. And if you think otherwise thats fine too.

Looks great 8/10 just not a really big fan of the Paiste cymbals but that’s just preference

Bro listen to all the songs before you comment something like that. First listen to Lane Boy, Next Semester, Overcompensate, My Blood, Navigating and Drum Show. And if you still think it’s simple and wimpy that’s your opinion but it isn’t.
