For the Drummers, Who makes the best drumkits

They don't make my kit anymore. I use a old set of ROGERS. They were the best in there time. Many Jazz greats used them. I use zildjian cymbals but I have heard some Paiste that I like as well. I use tama kick pedals when I updated my kickers. I love my pacific blue ROGERS set as well as any I have heard. I could stand to update my snare to a more unique sound with better response by adding a few lugs. As for sticks, they will vary as much as the muscle tone on a drummer. You just have to find the right fit for your music.

Robert

As for modern day kits, I like Tama and Yamaha and even Ludwig.

I have always loved loved to play on a Yamaha set, or a Tama, or even a sweet Pearl set.
that and unless you are an endorsed Drummer I never liked Paiste seeing as they break way to often. and the worst kit I have ever had the nightmare of playing was a Remo PTS heads drum set, the only good part at the time was it was free.

Love my kit, may not be the best looking (40 years old) but sounds great!

And my 18" Omar is... well, I would never part with it.

I'm not a drummer, but I always thought Ayotte make the best drum kits. Am I misinformed?

azromance,

If you do a search on google and spell Rogers without the d, you will find a lot of places that can sell used or fabricate parts for your set.

My personal favorite is pearl but i beleive it really depends on the sound you are looking for and should have nothing to do with the name

If money were to permit I would love to own a Slieshman Kit. The only shell thet has no lugs drilled into it and is completely free floating.

I use a Pearl kit with Evans Heads. I have a mixture of Zildjian & Paiste cymbals.

I've only just begun to learn drums, but I've been playing guitar for close to twenty years. For my tastes, I really like the smaller Gretch maple kits. Bigger than a jazz kit but not as big as standard rock kits today. As the music gets heavier, the drums get bigger. I feel most big rock kits are too thumpy.
I'm not an expert, but opinons are like....

DW is the best anyone who says anything else, is dreaming or thinking that pearl is the best cause they have one. DW is taking over the market they don't even build a kit until it is bought. And anyone who has played one knows their I best/ I play a Yamaha maple custom kit is't awsome. DW is better

I used to have a set of Pearls with sabian cymbals, a very solid kit. Now I play an old set of stewarts around late 60's early 70's with a Rodgers snare and I love the sound. I have always thought Sabians to make a good cymbal so I have stuck with them.

I'd love to have a set of Sonor's , like the one Iron Maiden was using in the late 80's . Nicko was @ a clinic in Fl and said he had the big metal one they made . It was like a $1000 easy. iplaypearldrums now though
I had 2 sets of Rogers , TAMA pedals, DW5000 pedals ( I got them from one of Roxx Gang's many drummers) TAMA octabans,Zldjian Z Ride, SABIAN flat hats, rock crashes, Octapad, Alesis D4 modules,

A good drummer can make ANY kit sound good.

But I bought Pearl .....a lot of 80's bands were using them,KISS did in the 70's, and they were (waaaaaaaaay back) competitively priced.

Well I own 2 kits. One is a 2004 midnight blue Tama Rockstar ( I'm playing that one in my pic) before they cheapened the RS model. I also have a Pulse. Now don't flame my @$$ for what I'm about to write. I love them equally. The Pulse has the iso-toms like pearl. Also it's yellow and black, and if one puts the right heads on a cheap kit it can sound as good as a high priced one.
just my nickle.
