this is feedback from someone still wet behind the ears: the Purecussions actually sounded pretty good. i can't describe the feeling/sound as well as plainsman did. but from a beginner's standpoint, i must say, it all felt and sounded good. well, actually if i were behind the kit, the bass sounded a bit flat and weak, but those in front said it sounded fine, even loud. plus hey, spend a little more now, and save in the future when you only need to replace 1 head per drum, have less to polish and clean, and have less heads to tune. plus, yes, setting up and transporting would be way easier eh?
seriously, now i know why d_h can practice at 2am and not get calls from the men in blue :mrgreen:
Thanks again to drum_hobbyist for kindly welcoming us into your home and letting us play with your awesome toys. Those who didn't go, tsk tsk...sorry for spoiling the market lah...we thrashed the place so bad...now d_h is considering charging future visitors...hahah!!
oh yes, nancyYOU, it seems Traps is a better quality kit than Arbiter. even someone who was trying to sell off his Arbiter kit (not the softie) told me honestly that Traps was a better buy. but this is just what i found from surfing around lah, i'm not FOR Traps, per se.
