Bentleys and JS don't have custom drums. The brands that they bring in, do custom make drums. DW, Gretsch, Tama and Pearl, for example. I think the Performance series is a good option lah, hopefully they don't skimp.
Added on February 21, 2011, 7:32 pmAnyway, I'm putting together a kit for another recording, its gonna be pretty hardcore this time round, more punchy and in your face than the other track that's in production now, more... rock.
Plans so far:
Kit:
Yamaha Brass 13x5 snare/Pork Pie Orange Acrylic 13x5.5
Tama Superstar Custom 3 rack, 2 floor w/ Evans Hydraulic
Now dilemma

Cymbals. I've always been a Sabian drummer, AAX and HHX, a Paragon here and there.
The other day though, I played a kit (house kit lah, endorsed by Zildjian, Tama) and the kit had A Custom mastersound hats, Mastersound ride, 2 A Crashes and an A Custom ReZo crash.
It sounded really good. Especially the ReZo crash. None of my current cymbals have that kind of impact.
Yes, I love my Sabians through and through, but after playing that set, now it feels like my Sabian setup is missing something. I need something with that power, with that boom, with that... ReZonance.

So now I don't know what to do.

And anyway, this is my current cymbal set-up lah, for reference sake. xD

From close to far, okay?
Closest: Sabian AAX Stage Ride 20', Sabian AAXplosion 15' crash, Sabian AAX Stage Crash 16', Sabian AAX Studio Crash 14' (studio's), Sabian HHX Stage Hats 14', Sabian Paragon 22' (not near kit).
I mainly use the AAXs and the HHX lah.
