Me and my cousin are gonna be getting our own place pretty soon, since my rent where i'm at is just too high. i'm looking to use a spare bedroom at the new place as a jam room and want to get a (used) drumset on the cheap that is decent.
i came across a newer Pacific drum kit for $350 and a 2004 Pearl Export Select for $500 which are nearby for sale. i'm gonna go check out the Pacific kit later tonight, i'm not sure if it's one of their better models or not. the Pearl kit looks really nice, but i'm not sure what the pricing on those is like. it has the tom mounts that don't go thru the drum, and is a nice sunburst finish. i emailed to see if any hardware is included, but haven't got word back yet.
the Pacific kit doesn't come with any hardware. which one of these kits would be the better value? i don't mean as in a head-to-head which is better, but which one seems like it's more worth the price? i heard some good stuff about the Pacific kits, and hopefully this one for sale isn't the cheapest EZ series or whatever its called.
i already have some nice hi hats with a stand, and a snare/stand and can bum a throne off of my other cousin so thats not too much of a problem, just gotta find a couple cymbals/stands to go with.
if the Pearl set worth $500 by itself minus the hardware? would a decent Pacific kit be a steal at $350? any thoughts before i go check out the kit tonight? thanks!
oh and these probably aren't gonna be recorded much, so i don't care about the overall quality tooooo much, just looking to get the best deal.
i'll stick with DFHS until i can get some better gear!
