ive played guitar since i was about 8, im 16 now and have just started getting into drums, im looking to buy a kit that wont run me to much, also i live in canada. any Suggestions?

[jacobdrummer123]

try something like a pearl vision or  Yamaha stage custom

both very nice sets with proper heads and tuning

[Beanie4404]

try like a Basix kit or CB or somthing but make sure it comes with hardware or else u will be spending more moula which could be going to upgrades and i live in Canada also!

[jemssarv]

More Cowbell. hehehe. i liked it

[edulanzadrummer]

what cymbals are u using?

nice playing

[johnnyonline]

thanks,

my cymbals is this clip are old (early 80's) Zildjian Avedis Series. New beat hats, medium thin crash, medium ride. just really standard models... that makes them the most versatile i think.

[EarChocolate]

incredible beats!! lovin it, you got a very unique style, it reminds me of the jazz/funk rhythms of the 60s 70s..phat with the PH brother! im very serious..this is what I lack in so many drummers around. fkn excellent.

[johnnyonline]

so when are you hopping on a plane? we find a sold a solid bass player and we can open for mayer next time he plays a stadium..

[EarChocolate]

Eeeasy!:) wed kill it..but bloody distance, hopping on a plane perhaps only early next year hehe.damn damn damn! your playing is fine as. man those breaks would win against michael cato!

[JohnnyRain]

[johnnyonline]

i work in a drum store and i can get pearl cheap. i'd prefer yamaha or something like that

[ftball999]

Very nice. It was very unique and original.

[xhilikus]

Very nice, loved those cowbell grooves ;).. and nice work with 2 snares. The sound wasn't bad at all from that camera!

[johnnyonline]
