A Roland 20 TD-K kit? Might be useful if you are really fussy about the sound you want and a lazy-to-tune drummer. Personally I still don't encourage having electric drums.

That's the after playing sound you will get.

IMO it should sound the same both when you are recording and listening. Just sayin'


P/S : Wimminz joke stay out of this thread.

Ohh might be wonderful too. And yeah I still think it's one heck fabulous idea to use the bass mic for snare !

The snare itself already look like it's gonna produce fat and warm sound.

SS18? You mean the crossroad near SS14? Hey bro can I crash your recording sometime?

Haha crap I study there but I don't even know such good studio exist there.

When I create my snare I'll take the whole log and cut it side to side and have it's original size which might not be round.

Instead of glueing the wood pieces together.

Just the wood with empty centres then heads on top and bottom.

Might be difficult but for me it would be very special.

I'm currently using the Pearl Forum and I have played on the Imperialstar 5 pcs. I'd really recommend the Tama if you compare this two kits.

For cymbals, yeah stay away from brass cymbals. As they are really heavy and would make alot of noise that you wouldn't enjoy. (well for me, at least)

You could go for Tama Imperialstar/Pearl Vision VX and still left with enough money to get yourself pretty decent cymbals.

Or if you want to get the Ludwig Epic 5 piece and sacrifice a little for the cymbals.

But you'll be saving the cost to upgrade the whole kit for the second option.
