Members boxorocks Posted March 11, 2015 Members Posted March 11, 2015 What do ya think fellas, I'm ready to start playing again. And I found this Taye Gokit for $750 talked down to $650. everything included. Seems all hardware is Taye single braced, and seems cymbals are all Taye but one Paiste hat of unknown model. What do ya think? Opinions please.. I have only owned Yamaha stage customs. And I prefer 20 inch kicks. Does the 18 inch have the thunp and punch? The cymbals are probably trash can lids. But dont know.
Members 1001gear Posted March 12, 2015 Members Posted March 12, 2015 650 sounds high but I'm cheap. Small drums might be a good idea though. I'm thinking you may get more into juggling the highs and lows of it than reveling in the big sound you'd get with a full sized set and 18" kicks aren't too bad anyway. They only get bonky if you tune 'em for springy action. Glad you're still playing main thing.
Members twosticks Posted March 23, 2015 Members Posted March 23, 2015 I'd wait. This would be something to maybe practice on, but without a decent size bass and floor tom, it might get old fast. Look for a used Stage Custom with better cymbals, then you know more what you'll be getting. I think that's reason this guy is selling??? It's a nice set, but it seems it would be limited on the kind of songs you could play. My Two Cents.
Members boxorocks Posted April 23, 2015 Author Members Posted April 23, 2015 I actually did pass on these, and went with more studio equipment. I do want to play again, and I think youre right, cant go wrong with good old stage customs, Ill know exactly what I'm getting and I can get the sizes I want.
Members Dendy Jarrett Posted April 23, 2015 Members Posted April 23, 2015 You did the right thing. I like the GoKit, but it is more of a kit to be used for coffee house, or small venues (IMHO), not a kit to record with or play profile gigs with. D
