There are ways to search all of craigslist. Checking that periodically might yield something of interest. As of now there looks to be one posting, but you could contact the seller and ask for more...

Very nice! How about some specs of the retro gaming setup?

Saw Disturbed live a couple years ago at a music festival and was really impressed at how clean they sounded. Their drummer is extremely consistent. Sounded like I was listening to the original...

20x16 is a great size. Stick to comfort and ergonomics first. A 20" bass drum will cover any genre of music with no issue.

Sabian can make custom cymbals as well as some discounted models. It's very possible you can get something with the exact same specs.

Thanks for sharing these. I was at this clinic and had a great time. The insight and inspiration gained from this is hard to beat for $10. A guy to my left won a snare drum and I took home a free...

Speaking of Sweetwater, they just did a really thorough video on this kit. Definitely seems like a great kit for the money.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to an upcoming clinic of his next month and looking forward to it.

Seems to be a non-issue if we're talking about drums with a lifetime warranty.

Ludwig has been trying to get an affordable north american maple set out to the market for a while. They tried it back with the Signet (which looks to be a similar shell construction), but it didn't...

Check out the Shure MV88 mic if you have an iphone.

My thoughts exactly. That term has become a blanket statement, which does nothing more than inhibit creativity and diversity within the drum marketplace. Awesome drum by the way!

Plot twist - I'm sick of people using the term 'hipster' to classify things they either do not understand or support.

This is a great idea. And a good base to start with to upgrade when funds become available.

A little late to reply, but I found an older pic I had of the Supralite. Still love the sound!

I had a similar Acrolite. Had a lot of fun changing out hardware. Sounded great, but I ultimately sold it.

I haven't checked them out in a while and I don't know if they are seamless shells, but hasn't Trick Drums been making aluminum drum sets for years?

Good call. I was also unhappy with a set of Tama Pedals (Tama HP310LW Speed Cobra 310 Double Bass Drum Pedal) I purchased earlier this year. I returned them and went back to Pearl immediately.

The 20" AAX Sabian Metal Ride is a great choice for what you're after. I've had one since the 90's and it's still one of my favorites.

Nice upgrades. I added the SR-150 and an s-hoop to a 13" Ludwig Supralite and it's become one of my most used snares.

Saw this set on ebay today.

I'm surprised at how little love the Yamaha PHX has received voting wise. That was an easy vote for me this month.

If it's one from the 90's, it was 7 Ply/5.5mm thick and they were birch shells.

Of the two choices, i'd say the pork pie. I also own the maple/vented snare and it quickly became my most used snare. Here's a sound clip of the zebrawood snare:...
