Thinking about buying a Yamaha Custom Recording set for my home studio,
are these really as good as people say or can I do as well with a less expensive Maple set. The 4 piece Yamaha is 1900.00 and I dont think that includes a snare. I was also looking at the Mapex M series maple at around 900.00. I'm into quality without overkill. I know this is highly subjective and I've pretty much ruled out all kits under 900.00 [ excluding hardware and cymbals ] ,I'm just not sure if I need to spend 2000.00 on a shell kit to get a great recorded sound. Mics I'm using are
2- Akg C3000B's for overheads
1- sm57 on snare
3- sennheiser E604's on tom,s
1- Akg D112 on kick
What do you guys think? Reviews on the Yamaha Custom Recording are great but thats alot of coin for a kit without a snare.
