    Re: Premier Artist

    Love the kit, especially the White Marine Pearl. I actually had that kit in the same sizes in Rosewood a few years back. Let it get way, but it was a nice kit. The Pinstripes are perfect for it,...

    Sticky: Re: Zildjian Cymbals

    I've been a Paiste guy for awhile, but I just played a Zildjian K Ride the other day and thought that has to be just about the perfect ride. I'm still a Paiste guy, but that is some ride. I've...
  3. Re: My new acquisition and other workhorse snare!

    Is that Acrolite likely to be the same as the one I had as a student snare in the early '80s? In other words, is that what they sold as part of their student kits? Mine came with a stand and a...

    Re: Ludwig Classic Maples...finally

    Thanks, Russ and Mr. Tama. I haven't played a Black Beauty, but I couldn't ask for more from the Supraphonic. I played the kit in rehearsal for a show I'm doing next week (pop-jazz and some late...

    Re: Ludwig Classic Maples...finally

    Many thanks! One thing I feel I've sort of overlooked in my other comments is the Supraphonic snare. When I ordered, I knew I wanted one after hearing about them (and hearing them in many...

    Re: Ludwig Classic Maples...finally

    I appreciate all the feedback. I'm definitely happy with the kit and will be playing it out shortly. This is a new 2010 kit (the "birth" date is even stamped inside), although I think the White...

    Thanks, all! Here are a few more pics. After taking them, I put on some Evans heads (I had some barely used ones from another kit for all but the 13x15 which I had to go out and get--not that easy...

    Looks great, Bish! Good observation about how things "show up on their own" if you keep playing!

    Ludwig Classic Maples...finally

    Finally, it's here...I think I've waited for this kit since I was a kid. My very first snare was a Ludwig (the student version), and since then I've always wanted to get a good Ludwig kit (my first...

    Re: GMS Players

    GMS makes nice drums. The CL kits are made in Asia, I believe, rather than the U.S. like SE and Grand Masters series, but they are still top quality. I'm pretty sure I saw one at Indoor Storm in NC...

    Re: 24" rides

    I've owned a 24" Giant Beat, and it is one of my favorite cymbals of all time. It has a great rock ping sound, a silvery wash, and a roaring crash sound.

    Re: 13'', 14'' or 15'' hats?

    I currently have a pair of 14" hats, which is kind of the standard, I guess. I've had several different pairs of 13" hats and liked the response and brightness. The only pair of 15" hats I owned...
  13. Re: paiste signature 18" full crash, power crash, or reflector heavy full crash?

    Of the three, I think the Full Crash is the most versatile. I owned one before and found it had a great crash sound but also could be used as a crash ride.

    They're for real, and they're good. As Russ said, though, they have a slightly different sound. I had a cool-looking jellybean kit for awhile, and they always got a lot of attention when I played...

    Re: Pls welcome me to Paiste family! :)

    Interesting about the two extra holes on the bottom hat--I have the same set in 14", but they have no extra holes.

    Re: More confused than ever!

    Nice kit, Stack. In spite of what I said about the other kits, I think you're going to really love that one (I had one in that same finish for a short while). Enjoy.

    Re: Mapex Saturn?

    That's a great price for a Saturn. Hmmm...if I had to choose between a Renown and a Saturn? Tough choice, but I think I would go with the Saturn based on sound, plus I really prefer the Saturn...

    Re: Mapex Saturn?

    What Bish said.

    Saturns have a really nice, warm sound. Unless you find a really good deal or a used kit, they're going to be more expensive than the other choices.

    Of course, you can't go wrong with any of those kits. I love Gretsch, especially the Renowns and USA Customs (still kicking myself for not jumping on a great deal on one of those). Don't know as...
