Respects Cymbals Rarity

Baptism by fire on one of these kits for me. Back in '92 I had to play one of these at a church. They had it set up behind a plexiglass shield and just one overhead mic. The gig was mostly keeping time but the kick drum on this made it hard. If I hit it light it sounded ok but the volume was VERY low.

And when you dug into it all you got was flop. And it didn't feel solid under your foot. A 16' juggle kick stuffed with pillows would have been better. When you hit the toms they had tone but very distant and when you gave them a good whack they sounded sorta like a roto but just not as defined or as loud. So all I could do was just keep time on the snare and kick. That was not a fun gig because of the kit.

Nobody in the band was happy about it but we were guest in that church and we showed respect. A couple of cardboard boxes would have been better! To me it's more of a novelty kit and in my case not very useful on a gig. You'd be better off with one of those.tail kits that seem to be popular now.Anyway that was my experience with the kit.Rudy.
