Drumkits
Kits are supplied with a good pedal, DW5000, Premier, Sonor, Gretsch, Big Dog, or Pearl.We also have Axis pedals (single and double) and of course Ludwig Speed King. A spare pedal, spare snare and a drumcarpet are all available without charge with our kits but please request one if you need it. Drumskins are supplied either as 'good playable used' or new (at cost to us - rarely necessary). We try not to use pinstripe heads, usually our heads are Remo Ambassador or equivalent. All front bass drum skins have a mic hole with reinforced ring edge. Kits include a drum throne/stool, an hi-hat stand and adequate cymbal stands, all double braced. We are proud to use only drum cases by
made round the corner from here, and are the best cases in the world. Our kits are complete - no missing felts, all wingnuts present, in good playable condition as if they were your own.
We have a set of rubber miming pads available for TV/film work.When miming, just put 2 cymbals on top of each other and this will give no real cymbal sound when hit.
