my band just bought a nice Mapex kit... it´s a 4-tom dual kick-drum kit. i don´t remember what it was, but it was something along the lines of the same kit that the drummer of lamb of god uses... sounds incredible, even with the stock skins, un-tuned and un-dampened... sounds like 50´s bongo-jazz or something when it´s like that :P

but really though, i was surprised at it´s clarity and it´s feel, it sounds like a "proper" kit... you can HEAR the money that went into it! :P

can´t wait to hear it when the kicks are dampened and all the skins are tuned... it´s gunna sound awesome!

and right now s i´m typing, my cat suddenly started sucking on my sweater... it´s weird, but it´s caused by him missing his mother, and when he wants the comfort that his mother gave him, he finds a spot that reminds him of his mom (soft fabric sweater with warm skin under it), and he suckles it like he´s drinking milk from his mother´s teet...

it just happened as i was writing, so i had to type it down :P

edit: just realized i didn´t help at all... but i found out what kit it was, it´s this one: http://www.sound1.no/images/product_...g/mapex_v7.jpg

it´s not bad at all, and while it´s costly, it´s not expencive... the drummer of my oher band, on the other hand, has a kit worth around $7.720... that´s with cymbals though, but still... 6 toms and all that :P

and the thing is that in order to make a kit sound good, you don´t need money, you need time and care. the drummer in the first band i mentioned, Thyron, is a helluva sick drummer (and he´s got CP, which is weird as well :P), and he can make cheap shitty drum kits sound amazing, because he´s really good at tuning kits and setting them up perfectly...
