Fairly sick of having garbage kits walk through the door featuring heads from the 80s.
So I'm interested in trying to get a decent kit for around 7-800 (shell pack). 8 is the max, actually I wouldn't even mind if it was just the kick and the toms.
Things that I like in a studio kit:
20" bass drum (way prefer this size to a 22).
Even numbers in the diameter of the toms (example: 12/14/16" toms in various depths)
Decent snare, but it doesn't have to be.
Most of what I record is metal/heavy rock. So not exactly sure what kind of shells I should be looking at material wise. I've recorded a hand full of kits and one of the ones I liked the most was the Mapex Saturn (except the stock snare, that thing had wierd overtones no matter what heads we tried). So I'm thinking something with maple. Any ideas?
