A New Direction

So, on March 8th I purchased a drum set. I've been waiting 4 years to get a new drum set, and upgrade from a low-grade kit to something more advanced, with more equipment. I wanted to make sure this kit was the right one.

A few months prior, I have never heard of this brand of drums before, but after seeing a review of them on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFUdFFruTh0 (props to the maker), the brand has shed ALOT of light on me, someone who thought Tama, Pearl, Mapex, or DDrum would be the best choice for him. As a metal drummer, I wanted drums with a BANG, so I chose Dixon, specifically their "Demon" model. After setting it up, tuning it, getting new heads, I've started to fall in love with these drums. 6 pieces (10" / 12" tom, 14"/16" floor tom, 22" bass drum, 13" snare) of Satin Black drums with a PUNCH! Steel ball joint mounts for the rack toms, 45 degree bearing edges, 7-ply Birch/Mahogany, and a price tag of $430! It feels like I'm playing a much more expensive kit, and I'm never going to look back or regret buying these drums.

The sad part is that not many people know about them! However, I would love to show people this awesome brand, and maybe one day they can experience Dixon's awesome line of drum kits and snare drums!

Witness the "Demon"!

You don't need an insanely big, expensive, high quality kit! (Unless you're Mike Portnoy)
