The brand i purchased from him is called premier which i found out is one of ...  Read the complete review

Getting started! If you are looking to buy a set of drums to start practising on then you want to keep a few things in mind. If you are serious about learning it is allways worth spending that little bit extra money in order to get a kit that will last you for a while. Sometimes with cheap kits that cost around £150 - £200 you ...  Read the complete review

The problem with all reviews is that it can be a justification as to why one bought it! However I would not hesitate to get rid of it if I thought it was not right for me, so read on and take this entirely at face value, but remember it's from MY perspective. Hi, decided after 40 years not playing to get over the transition from ...  Read the complete review

Sonor 2005 all birch set sounds great but would stay in tune better with heavier hoops. The 10" tom has got 5 tuning lugs and the floor toms 14" and 16" 6 tuning lugs. The aftermarket triple flanged 2,3 mm steelhoops "PowerHoops" have minimum 6 holes for toms and 8 for floor toms. The upgrade for heavier hoops for Sonor ...  Read the complete review

The Mapex V series is an awesome package for an intermediate level drummer. It's genuine basswood shells are by no means cheap or of poor quality, and when combined with the right skins, i.e REMO pinstripe ambassadors, produce a warm, resonating tone that rivals any Pearl Export, Tama Swingstar or Sonor Force. Out of the packet its hardware is ...  Read the complete review

OK, Let's get one thing straight here, I am by no means an experienced or good drummer (in the grand scheme of things) having played for only one month (todays date 23/03/03). This review is about the drum kit I am using, a Stagg/Pulse (same brand, sometimes different labelling on drums, mine are Stagg) PAO-L 20. This kit is ...  Read the complete review

Drum kits are my life. Every one that owns one and plays it a lot comes to realise it becomes a way of life and makes you feel happier and more creative. Drum kits also helped develop my style of music playing and my musical taste. They make you truly appriciate amazing drumming in a track. Whereas before it would go unoticed. Furthermore They ...  Read the complete review

mapex drums are an up and coming company who are playing with the big boys of drums; pearl, tama, and premier. i recently got a mapex mars pro drum kit. It is fantastic and comes in a range of colours(depends where you shop) mapex, like lots of other kits, now use arms and clamps that don't don't go into the drums so they are ...  Read the complete review

OK, So you've had enough (or you mum has!) of Pots and Pans bashing....you know you want a kit, so what now?! A Drumkit in its basic form can cost you from £50 secondhand all the way up to £4000+, but which is right for you, and more importantly, your wallet! Right, lets start at the bottom. My first kit cost me £100, it was ...  Read the complete review

My Kit I have recently purchased a drum kit. A kit by Pulse Percussion, it was a cheaper kit but needless to say it does the job (makes the noises)with a bass, 3 toms, a snare a hi-hat and a cymbol which is a crash and ride. The cymbols aren't "top Notch" but for now they do the job. While the drums are great. All i need ...  Read the complete review

Well, yes, the title does describe the definition of the drum kit very well, but are you getting what you pay for? Different drummers will tell you different stories about what is good and what is not. My first instrument is not my drums. Its about my 3rd Instrument behind the Bass and Guitar. Im still a competant drummer ...  Read the complete review

I bought a REMO Encore 5 piece powerkit 10 years ago for £500 new. The best thing about the drums has been their durability. I have gigged this kit on a regular basis and have only had to replace one bracket ever. Whilst being a very heavy piece of kit, the strange "acousticon" shells made of reconstituted woods are sturdy ...  Read the complete review

I own a drum kit and I would recommend them to an age to a child of 8yr as they would be able to hold and get the feel of a drum kit and will be able to understand what is what. The drum kits I would recommend are Pearl and Yamaha as they have a perfect feel and good sound to suit any keen drummer. The reason why I recommended these two different ...  Read the complete review

Since I bought my latest drumkit The all new Peavey Radial Pro. I've had much the same response. What the f**k are they? Then I let them know what they sound like, then drummers ask where they can get a set. Imagine if you will going into the studio with say, Phil Collins and sitting at the mixing desk listening to the drums being recorded all ...  Read the complete review
