If You Were Going to Buy a New Drum Set, What Would it Be?

[Topsy Turvy]

I have no need for a new drum set, but I often find myself dreaming about buying a new kit.

For me, if I were to buy a new set of drums, it would probably be a Gretsch Broadkaster in tangerine sparkle in a 20/12/14/16 set up.

What about you?

I have no need for a new drum set,

Blasphemy !!!

 

[lossforgain]

I’m working on a new one now! But I’ll wait to reveal it until later.

If I was buying a new set from a major manufacturer, it might be a Tama Starclassic in a cool finish. Their finish options are sweet.

DW Jazz series

 

[Esotericdrums]

Own Gretsch Catalina maple and Gretsch Brooklyn, both 22, 10, 12, 14(cats), 16(brooks).

Only other set I want is a bop size broadkaster with die cast hoops

Yamaha Stage Customs - black. 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 22 ( and maybe an 18 BD also). Probably $1,200 to $1,500 for a nice big kit that would give me lots of options.

Ludwig - used

I’d someone was buying for me, a sonor sq2.

A Broadkaster in bop sizes, or, perhaps, USA Customs in the same sizes. My dream kit has been fulfilled (a Brooklyn Micro Kit). Oh, and WMP or Silver Oyster would be my finish choices, although Deep Cherry Burst Gloss is a favorite too.

Blasphemy !!!

He's just been put on double secret probation.

The only way I'm getting new drums is if I win the lottery, so my lottery kit would be: Craviotto single-ply mahogany (green pearl wrap) with Diamond lugs, probably in the same sizes I'm currently using: 22/22/12/13/14/16, plus a Rogers Dyna-Sonic 6½ x 14 snare in green pearl.

Tama Starclassic Maple.
A stalwart that continues to be a total professional line kit in sound and build.
Greats shells, Great finishes and the best of Tama’s available hardware system.

 

[Esotericdrums]

If I were to splurge I wouldn’t mind owning a Craviotto or Noble and Cooley on top of my Gretsch kits one day. I’m 32 and doing alright for myself, so we shall see!

 

[gmiller598]

I dreamed and still dream of a set just like Stanton Moore. 12/14/16/20 Gretsch Brooklyn in Creme Oyster. I was going to save up and order one prior to Covid hitting but I got an amazing deal on a "used" Ludwig Classic Maple in the exact same configuration that I just couldn't pass up.

 

[repete]

if I had the money I would probably look into a Jenkins Martin kit but I would really like to play one first. 8x8,10x8,12x8,14x13,16x13,22x15 in some sort of purple color. Or a Ludwig Legacy Maple 12x8,16x16,22x14 either blue or silver glitter or red

 

[MrDrums2112]

Possibly a Tama Star Walnut or Noble & Cooley Walnut.

 

[1988fxlr]

If I hit the lottery, I feel like my options would be complete with a 13x9, 14x10, 16x16, 18x16, 24x14 and a 12x8,14x14, 20x14 both in black diamond pearl either vintage Rogers or brand new Ludwig legacy maples would do fine

 

[mfry2112]

Tama or Ludwig, 12,14,16,18,24, gong drum and bronze snare. Some sabians I haven’t owned that are on the rock side of things.

 

[mjohnson12]

Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple kit or a Tama Starclassic Maple.
