So I've been in a band with my guitarist now for about 6 years since we met in high school. We came pretty close to having a very solid band but due to some problems with our singer, everything went to crap and we haven't landed on solid ground yet. Now my friend the guitarist is having a kid and it's slowed things down a lot. It was sort of a bittersweet feeling because I know that would mean a lot of time lost with the band and canceled practices which have already started. I've come to accept the fact that things won't be the same and have started looking for another project.
I've found something I really like but I don't want to just drop everything with my buddies who I've jammed with for a long time so what I am trying to do is have them both. My top priority would always be the new band but I get to jam with my friends and have something more serious going on.
My dilemma would be that I only have 1 kit and no car to be moving it back and forth from each space. I can't make my own house headquarters for practice because I dont have the space to do it. My last resort would be to find a cheap but good sounding drumkit to have at my other band's space. I would just have to move my cymbal bag between each practice.
I'm not too savvy on drum kit sounds so I was hoping someone/anyone could point me in the right direction for a cheap but decent sounding drumkit. I have already started scouring the classifieds for something used but have only found a Tama Rockstar for 125 bucks which I didnt think was too bad. I had one before my current Ludwig setup.
If anyone has seen some really good deals in the Chicago land area please feel free to suggest them to me. In the meantime I have also started eyeing the ddrum kits. They are very appealing to the eyes ( at least to me ) but I have never played one. Any thoughts???
