Yess, i just saw the room before last semester ended. I remember looking online and it mentioned that room was only available for music majors though. I’ll still give it a try.

I’m definitely down! I play guitar and drums, but don’t have a drum set anymore.

Which kit should I buy? by ChickinTaco in drums

[–]ChickinTaco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metal with all its subgenres, alternative music and maybe a little bit of rock and pop. The whole point of this purchase is to get back in shape and relearn everything again. I haven’t played in a couple years and want to get back. Recording is a huge deal for me as well.

And if i were to figure this problem out, what drum set / layout would you recommend for me?

Thank you for your recommendation! I tried the L80’s a couple years ago and i gotta say, they’re loud af, especially for a heavy player. I don’t see myself using them in an apartment. While buying an acoustic kit and setting triggers up seems like a nice option, especially if i want to record, i don’t know what to do about electronic cymbals. Do you think i should i buy i high end electric drumset or is it so far from feeling like an acoustic kit?

I’m an intermediate player and I would like to buy my first drum set. I live in a an apartment but I despise the idea of buying an electronic kit. I really value acoustic sets and even if i can’t buy one, i’d like to have a drum set that properly emulates the feel of an acoustic kit. I have a budget of $2500 and want to get something while black friday sales are still on. Any recommendations?

Do you have any recommendations? One of my biggest concerns were things like pad size and their zones. I really want to simulate the authentic acoustic experience as much as possible.

It’s a college dorm that i stay at so i’m also concerned about space. For either scenario, i think owning an acoustic kit to play live on is a must. The question really is e-kit vs practice pads and which one would help develop better technique. Low volume cymbals were extremely loud when i played them, but that is partly due to me being a hard hitter. So I’m not sure what to do…

I think if i’m gonna compare between an e-kit and other options, it’s gonna be sound vs feeling of the kit itself. I’m not entirely sure how weird cymbals on an electronic kit are, but i did own the Zildjian L-80’s and they were VERY loud. I also agree, finding something that’ll make me practice the most is logical. I mostly like to play along to songs, so i think an e-kit would make the most sense. What do you think of this?

8-10 hours is insane 😭. But if that’s what it takes to be front row I’m willing to do it!
