anyone play? couldnt decide if this was NSG or media/arts so I put it NSG. (if all else fails..NSG!)

I bought my freinds shit kicker for 20 bucks and a blunt sesh then got all new heads for the toms and a new batter-side head for the kick drum. also got another freinds 70's ludwig snare for free, put a new bottom head and snare on it, and I got a sabian 18" crash/ride (b8 series). I dunno what kind of hi-hats I got just some real shitty sounding ones (which i like). all the shells are premier which isnt a bad deal for 20 bucks plus all the fixins. overall a good cheap first set.

I drum too, for a band. Its so much fun, such a good release i think. I am saving for some new drums cause i play some real shitty CB's right now. I think i have them tuned to the best they can sound, evans hydraulics really helped.

We ercored a whole live demo with one condensor and it turned out suprisingly well. Most songs in one take too lol. Did vocals on a seperate track though.

v-drums are the greatest invention ever,

i play on my teacher's kit all thetime and it's so much fun becase you can go from techno beats, to hip-hop, to punk, to metal in like 3 seconds just by changing the settings

Drums seem like a really fun instrument to play. I've only dabbled in them, but I play guitar/bass and a smidgen of piano, and drums always looked like the most fun.
