New member: My EXR/Catalina Maple Monster

[cobus]

Hey guys I'm new here. I recently sold my Export to get a Gretsch Catalina Maple (SORRY GUYS!), but I'm gonna go back and trade it in for a better Export. Right before I shipped out my EXR, I already had my Gretsch, so I wanted to make one giant effin drum set. And I was extremely happy with the visual result. The last picture I attached is the stock picture of the Export I'm gettin soon. Let me know what you think about the monster and my Export pick. Thanks guys!

One word (and an explanation)




Budget

I'm only 16 and private guitar lessons don't really rake in that much money.

[D.S.S.D?]

those cymbals over the floors look really low and close to the rim...

And what was wrong with the Gretch?

Anyways, the huge drum-set looks great! Has to be a blast to play on.

The rides were fine cuz I never really hit them hard or stayed on them (only used them as accents).

There's just something about the Gretsch. I couldn't tell you what it was if you asked me (which you did, and I can't), but I just think back to my Pearl days and how much better it was to play on them.

And sadly, this was a while ago, so the monster set no longer lives . But it was amazing while it lasted.

Stay with the gretsch and save up for something better. Nice monster
