I haven't played acoustic drums in 10 years (I do have a Roland TD6 Kit with some enhancements). Before that, I played for about 15 years in various bands mainly in rock-oriented styles.
Although I'm not a spring chicken anymore (let's just say I was in my 20s then), I've got the ITCH to play drums again and find some people to play with.
My question is:
For about $2000 (not over $3000), what is the best brand/model of drums I can get? I am not factoring hardware or cymbals into this, just drums.
Ideally, I'd like a 22" Kick, 16" Floor (mounted, not on legs), 12" or 13" rack and a 14" (probably 5" depth) bronze or similar metal snare?
I realize this below the Pro level, but I don't want to buy anything junky like you'll see on the sales floor of most music shops.
So, given my constraints (in terms of $$), what would be a move you'd recommend.
Any input is very appreciated!
