    Default I Went To AUDW Today!

    AUDW is the Australia's Ultimate Drummer Weekend. Huge drum expo, I bought a bunch of awesome sticks and some double pedals there. There was a huge showroom in the middle with about 20 kits being shown off. There were two that everyone seemed to want to play: The new PDP X7 Kits that came out this year and some Tama Kit that I couldn't find out what product it was.

    Oh and FYI: Those catapult pedals aren't that great in real life to be honest, they have a lot more lag from tow to beater than most other pedals. There was also some awesome pedals being shown off, they had a normal double pedal set up, two footpads, and THEN! They had to footpads coming inwards, and the bass drum was supposed to be in-between the beaters so I'm guessing (I mean knowing lol.) it would have felt like playing a double bass set-up, they were awesome to play on.

    I had a great time, there was this awesome atmosphere, the kind that you get when you're a member of this forum It was 100's of people all in one place for exactly the same thing, and it felt awesome. The only bad part was that I spent all my money on the double pedal, and I was hoping on spending $300AU on pedals, and another $300AU on splash cymbals and stands. but in the end I spent $600AU on pedals I still had money for sticks though, bought some really cool sticks, called hornets or something

    529-535 High street, Northcote, Melbourne. The PDP X7 sounds a lot better than what I thought it would considering it was made out of polar instead of Maple or Birch. It get the higher tones more than the lower tones.
