Are the cymbals included?

And also shouldnt there be a 2nd crash?

[DrumtekDrums]

@mmjjee123 The cymbals we used in this video are all Bosphorus Oracle cymbals.

14" hats 16" crash and 22" ride.

They are not included with the kit.

There is not a second crash because they are not out of a package set that includes a second crash.

Not all cymbal sets include a second crash, it depends on what the companies are promoting at the time.

@DrumtekDrums

Ok thanks. The only reason i asked was that in a few pictures i have seen of this kit it has the second crash. thanks again

[DrumtekDrums]

@mmjjee123

yes your correct.

the reason for that is so the kit looks better when selling it.

Can you get this with a 24 kick?

[DrumtekDrums]

@WhateverSTK Unfortunatly it is not available in a 24" version.

Gretsch do a catalina club rock kit that has a 24" configuration.

24",13" and 16" with an optional 18".

The only difference is that the shells are not birch they are mahogany.

Yeah, never underestimate birch for rock. I use to own a birch kit and had Evan G-plus heads on it. Tuned the reso head a bit higher to really bring them out and it sounded great for rock.

Personally, for just jamming or playing live I prefer birch. It really cuts through cleanly.

The birch sound is definitely well suited for any rock out fit.

The best thing about the kit in the video is the versatility of the drum sizes.

The 10 and 12 for the fusion more contemporary side of things then the bottom end of the 22 bass drum and 16 x 6 floor tom.

Which if you chose to play one up and one down the 12 and 16 match perfectly and fit right into rock like a sock.
