I really can't think of what to reply to this with. I had about a page written.. but fuck it.
Who the hell said that acoustics aren't important?
There's no harm in LEARNING SOMETHING before you spend $35k on equipment.
You REALLY need to get the bone out of your ass. If you're not going to be helpful, just don't fucking post. It seems to me that you can't get over the fact that A.) Kids are spoiled rotten these days. and B.) Equipment is much more affordable now than it was years ago. Granted, it's not that nice, but it's good to just get an idea of what it would be like to get into recording.
I have bought nearly all of my equipment with my own money. I've had a job since I was 13. I have spent probably $2k in cymbals alone. I know what it's like to spend a lot of money. Sure, that number probably looks like the dirt on the bottom of your shoe.. but for a 13-17 year old? That's a lot of money. That doesn't include the cost of my 5 drumkits, my recording shit, my guitars, and whatever else I've spent my money on.
Kids that actually think they're producing "PRO QUALITY" results are dumbasses.
Just stop assuming and sterotyping. If someone's too young for you to give advice without throwing in their face that they're too young.. then don't post at all. Seriously.
I'm sure I'm just "another kid" to you.. but I don't give a shit. I'm pretty God damn content with what I'm doing with myself. No one should have to prove themselves to you for advice.
