A Collection Of Pictures Of My PDP X7

[Roger]

As some of you know I did sell my 'good' kit my beautiful PDP X7, with poor mans Maple...also known as Poplar shells. I got it for 2 Grand Australian and my friend decided that he wanted them and offered a price almost for as much as I bought them for, and considering after six months or wear and tear the kit was completely worth the price he gave me, and as I am saving up for my dream kit I am looking for money. So here are the pictures, none of them at my home, the cymbals aren't mine (Though I wish they were).









These are all the images that I think are good, the rest are a little over blurry, the lighting is bad or some other reason. But these were the best images out of three photo shoots. I hope you enjoy them, because I know I miss them.

Roger, that was a nice kit, but let's not focus on that. What's the dream kit that you're saving for?

[drum_chick]

Wow, I'd miss those too....... They are beautiful! (I love sparkles)

I hate to sound like some kind of an elitist... but we drummers have the most visually intoxicating instument. Dont get me wrong... I can appreciate the beauty of a fine guitar or a hand crafted piano... but to me, drums are just some much more visually apprealing. I suppose Im a bit bias. :-)

Nice kit, my friend.

How did those X7's sound Roger?

[Roger]

They sounded not so nice. There was a major thing I couldn't get them to do though, and that was get them to sound as deep a my Mahogany drums, though it's not to be expected considering one is put in drums just for their lower tone. But if I tuned the drums high they would choke quite easily, and if I put them to low they would either give a dead sound or ring to much.

why would you by a new drumkit if youve only had that one for 6 months

Hey, Roger, those were some cool outdoor shots, mate...would make a nice album cover (especially if you were play'n them)...

I think you answered the unwritten question about the way the X7 sounds when you described poplar as "the poor man's maple." With all due respect, it may be better to wait, pay a bit more and get the kit with the sound you want rather than be disappointed by something less...

Amen, Matt! That's why many rock bands put their drumkits on a riser...or indeed, put the spots on the drummer or the percussonist!
