Members elevate Posted October 17, 2002 Members Share Posted October 17, 2002 Not having heard them in person, I can't say for sure, but I do like the sound of Danny Carey's bubinga drums, which would surely put the hurt on most people's wallets. Though I guess not as much hurt as his new kit. Someone on a Tool newsgroup posted that they had asked Paiste how much the kit costs and Paiste says $24,000, just for the shells.

Members merc Posted October 17, 2002 Members Share Posted October 17, 2002 My premier kit is birch eucalyptus but my snare is all maple and I am quickly favoring maple over birch because of its warmth. Also, if I want to build my own kit (which I might do eventually) I can get keller maple shells pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir Enrico Buttcock Posted October 17, 2002 Members Share Posted October 17, 2002 I prefer maple. Birch is great too but it's just a matter of taste. Kinda like comparing head selection. I wonder what hickory drums would sound like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doublebass doug Posted October 17, 2002 Members Share Posted October 17, 2002 I prefer maple shells (made by Jasper Co.). They sound so wonderful. I tested out many kits and found that Fibes maple drumkit suited my ears the best. They cost me too $$ much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
