josephandrews.edu Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 I was thinking about getting a junior drum set cuz they're real cheap, and price is a deciding factor. But im not really a junior anymore, so are they going to be too small to play? And if they are, then should i just get a practice set with , like rubber pads or something. Or do you guys have any other suggestions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidereal Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Great question! I looked at the Sonor Jungle Kit at NAMM a year or so ago... waaay overpriced, but it was pretty phat. ....is it still okay to say 'phat'? Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaddabout Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 My friend got out of the biz and sold all his equipment. His 7-year-old son needed something to play on, so he went out purchased a 5-piece junior kit for $250, put some ambassador heads on it, and had a good little practice kit in no time. Then he got a call to join a jazz quartet, a gig he couldn't pass up, so he bought some cymbals and stands and used that junior kit as a jazz kit. It sounded great! Couldn't believe it.

Steve LeBlanc Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Well, I jam on my son's Junior kit for fun sometimes but I don't think it could ever be condusive to good practicing. Besides...when you can get a Mapex Voyager kit brand new for $450 (also somewhat small sized drums), well that's pretty cheap for an excellent kit I think. Also, check EBay or your local classifieds, you can get used drum sets for REALLY cheap ($200 or less) with good cymbals and all.

felix stein Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 So did you get the Phat sonor kit? What have you been up to Steve? Wait, lemme guess. Making music? What a novel concept. felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidereal Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 No, I didn't get the sonor kit. I'm currently in negotiations with them for an endorsement deal so I don't have to spend any money. Just for the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 What have you been up to Steve? Wait, lemme guess. Making music? Yep, I'm recording a lot...I've been bouncing around different forums...mostly the Keyboard Corner...the forum's Keyboard Compilation CD is just about finished, it's really cool. I lurk on this forum just about everyday to keep up with what's going on but I'm usually in too much of a hurry to post anything. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
