In March I ordered a ludicrously expensive amount of gear (drums, cymbals, hardware) because I’d hit an early midlife crisis and figured that if I didn’t now, I never would. Been playing for 15 years, so it’s a hobby that’s important to me and I’ve always wanted to do it properly.
6 months down the line, I have received all but one of the cymbals (they sent the wrong hihats initially; tried to get me to keep them because they were worth more than the ones I ordered, but I returned them because they were literally not what I ordered.), and the drums finally arrived today.
I ordered a 3-piece kit - a 22"x18" kick, 16"x14" floor, and a 12"x8" rack tom.
I received: a 22"x14" kick, a 16"x16" floor, and a 12"x8" rack tom. 1 outta 3 aint bad, right
I can’t even get angry at the people at these companies who make these mistakes and ignore my emails - all I can think is to blame capitalism for these problems. The culmination of pressure, overwork and underpay.
Anyways, spending lodsemone on musical instruments makes me bourgeois scum, so I guess this is me reaping.
well I feel for you. hope you get to play some great drums

No.
I have been using a second-hand Roland td-12 for 10 years. It’s feels decent enough, and with a lot of tinkering about with running it into studio one on my pc and triggering midi kit samples, the sound quality depends pretty much entirely on my audio production skills. It is fairly small as well, which is good for small practise spaces but not so good for emulating the scale of a real kit
