Anonymous Unregistered	Snare: 1) Pearl 2) Dynasty 3) Yamaha Pearl snares only win because they have the carbonply snares, otherwise it would be a tie between Pearl and Dynasty. Tenors: 1) Dynasty 2) Yamaha 3) Pearl Dynasty tenors are just amazing, great mounting system, great sound, and very durable. Pearl tenors sound to "tubby" for my taste. Bass: 1)Pearl 2) Dynasty 3) Yamaha Pearl basses always seem nice and deep, yet still articulate. This is the closest category because all of the companies make great bass drums (and great drums in general, for that matter). Cymbals: 1) Sabian 2) Zildjian My instructor would kill me if he read this, but I just prefer the sound of Sabian cymbals. To me they are a bit more lively and bright that Zildjian cymbals, which is what I think cymbals should sound like. If I had to choose one brand, it would be Dynasty. Their tenors are the best by far, and their snares and basses are good to. I just don't like the sound of Yamaha snares and Pearl's tenors are just too deep for my tastes.

Dragon150043 Registered: 11/15/05 Loc: Corona, California	Snare: Remo - Constant breaking keeps you busy on your drums. You will always have a close relationship with this drum. Tenors: Premier - The Free floating tenors are drums for the gods! They have such a crisp clean perfect sound as long as you tune them every 15 seconds. A small price to pay for this instrument. Bass: Andante - The free floating bass drums help for a high tension tuning scheme. You can do perfect diddles on Bass 5! Cymbals: Paiste High hats - I like these because for cadences, you get the perfect high hat sound! And for crashes you get that interesting Broken China sound. Very unique. _________________________ Do you miss DLPN? If so, go to showB4theshow.com ! It's new and needs your support! Excellence is the willingness to be caught learning. - Me

SkyDog Registered: 12/29/05	I think it's kinda funny that Dragon's tenors and basses are free floating, but his snares aren't. When coming up with his 'hall of shame' selections, I wonder if that was intentional. If he wanted a truly awful line, he could've gone Remo across the board. I've had the "pleasure" of trying to repair some of their cardboard-shelled drums.

Tenors: I would have to say its a tie between Dynasty and Pearl. I like the sound of dynasty drums, yet they are a tad bit unresonant for me. Pearls are the perfect resonance for my taste. But the rack for the drums isnt very practical in my mind. And Dynasty I think has gotten the whole cradle thing perfectly. Basses: Remo - just kidding. =] I have to say pearl wins this as well. I have heard many a better sounding bassline made from pearls then from any other company. Agreed, it all has to do with tuning. But this is just from what I have heard. Sorry if you thought my spoof post was real. =] _________________________ Do you miss DLPN? If so, go to showB4theshow.com ! It's new and needs your support!

Jon Registered: 07/14/04 Loc: Iowa	If these were my own personal drums that would rarely, if ever, leave my house, I'd actually go with Premier across the board. If you spend the right amount of time with them, Premier drums sound better than just about anything else out there. Assuming I'm outfitting a line, I'd have to go with Pearl all the way. _________________________ Yes, I did march Corps. No, I wasn't a drummer, I was a Contrabass player. No, I DON'T wish I'd played Soprano or Cymbals.

Jon, I couldn't agree with this statement more, I've heard some Premier drums sing. Unfortunately they are the complete opposite of the Pearl FFX which will be the only thing left on the Earth besides cockroaches after a nuclear war. From what people close to a Premier signature artist have told me, the new drums are supposed to fix the durability issues. _________________________
