First off, I'd like to say hello to everyone. First timer here. I am a lover of the drums and wanted to get insight from you guys who admire them as well. First of all, what's the best drum set to get? Second, just for my curiosity, who is everyone's favorite drummer? Looking for some inspiration here people! lol. I run a blog and put out who my favorite drummer ever is today. Don't kill me for it! I want to see what you guys think.

If you want a acoustic set go with something nice and strong like the Pearl Referance set

Or if you want to go electronic go with the Roland TD20

Drummer Gone: Buddy Rich
With us today, Carl Palmer

And do these at least twice a day for 1 hr

I'd never argue with choosing Pearl...it's what I do! Wink

It kinda depends on your budget. The Reference series is pretty pricey. Almost up there in the DW range. The head of the class is the Masters Custom, where you literally design the kit from the ground up.

My kit is the Vision series. Looks good, and sounds great! Evans EC2 heads on all the toms, Sabian AAX cymbals...and it's showtime! Cool

Pearls Are great drums. Good for just about anything.
The super high end ones Like the Refrence are a little better(in my opinion) and cost less than their DW counterparts.
If your looking for a good starter-Intermediate set the SONOR Force 1007 Series is VERY good. Thin shells for a really open sound and a pretty nice sounding base drum. It's made of Base wood wich is cheeper than Maple or Birch but there should be no problems if you know how to tune them. All in all well built drums.

As for my Favy drummer. Benny Greb

Party pooper here. I think you should go with what fits the pocket right now since there are NO guarantees. Drummers give up daily (there are solid reasons for that too, not just about talent). Best find out for yourself I think.

I put together a marvelous kit some years ago from various kits, bought one that was fantastic and had to sell it owing to finances. In short drums aren't cheap and neither is finding a place to bang around on them.

Sure if you've got the spare 5 or 10 grand then go for it. I prefer a personal kit myself built from parts. Working on that now as it happens.

Here is a great site on drum setups and a pretty good read too. Hope this helps?
