Sounds like a better option than what you've been going through lately.

Don't get confused now.. dW didn't just use off the shelf keller shells. Those shells were made specifically FOR dW, the exact way, shape, size, bearing, and re-enforcment, that they wanted. They are also timber matched. They won't sound the same. And don't forget DW's awsome looking hardware.

I see. Good lookin' out. I may go to Guitar Center after work today to test out some sets. I hope there's a collectors edition in there.
By the way...there's a clip on drummerworld from a Gerald Heyward and he's playing his DW Collectors. And frankly, the toms sound like dog sh*t. Then you watch Billy Ashbaugh's clip and the kit sounds like God himself made it. (With a little too much warmth for my taste, sorry God)...
I know this has to do with micing and whatnot...but what's up with Gerald's toms? Does a Collectors sound like that without mics???? Hell, I'll keep my Pearl Export if that's the case. |

First off, you are listening to a low quality playback through the internet. Second, recording technique and equipment makes a HUGE difference. Third, What head and how it is tuned makes up 70% of your sound quality. (made up number). I have never heard a properly tuned DW kit sound anything less than godly.
That recording.. sounds like it was made on a boombox.

Brand new it would be more like 7000.00 us dollars, I think I'm maybe wrong... |
definitely wrong. $7000 for a new kit would be a *Motherless Goat* kit, and it would be a sweet finish. you're right about the $2500 range, dblstroke. just keep in mind it's definitely $2500+. |
Unless he was selling cymbals, hardware, pedals, etc etc.. 4 shells will cost you 2000-3000$ |
shells only for $2000-$3000??? you must've gotten ripped, my friend. that or i got a great deal.

I agree with that. I went to my Guitar Center yesterday and tried a DW kit that wasnt even tuned well and it still sounded awsome.

|
|
If you're talking hardware like lugs and rims, DW will charge you a 14% surcharge for gold. It's the same for black or brushed nickel lugs and rims. I bought a 5-piece Collector's series Finishply kit (broken glass) with gold hardware for $4650.00 CND.
In terms of the gold-plated 9000 series stands, I couldn't say. Probably bigger bucks, as there is more gold involved. |
