Drum Kit help! Please

DjVeDaJu

Hello,

I desperately need some help buying some new drum shells.

I have about 2200euro to spend on some new shells and a snare.

I play in a heavy death metal band ( influences Cryptopsy, Cannibal Corpse, Death etc...) so two bass drums would be nice.
But I also play rock ( Faith no more, Alice in Chains etc...) and some old progressive stuff (Rush, Camel, King Crimson Etc..) and a whole other bunch of stuff.

I'd like an aluminum snare for that real poppy/harsh sound. I don't care on the material used on the shells as long as its versatile for different sounds.
Two toms and a floor tom is a necessity

I've been thinking along the lines of pearl masters but I'm not sure how much I cab afford it. I've heard some Sonors and liked the sound but no one I know has owned one.

Any ideas or any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

OK so a kit for 2200 incl a snare drum, tho only bad thing about 2nd abss drum for the pearl masters is it does cost quite a bit,ive checked it out in music maker and its a fair bit,i got quoted a good deal in there before on a pearl session,with extra bass drum 3 rack toms and a floor tom,1 rack tom was a 14 so u could use it as a floor tom,ok so its a pearl session birch sbx and it came in at around 2400, i know its a little bit over your budget but if u buy it off the net its gona be a bit cheaper!i pearsonally have the pearl ex 7 piece,2 bass drums dats goin for 1500 or there abouts in music maker with the joey jordisson snare which i highly recommen if u wanna play metal,i play metal and i have 1 and its unreal how it sounds through a p.a,also andols from chimaira played live with it!its 13x6.5 so it feels small to play but its f**kin sick!

You didn't mention anything about cymbals, but a friend of mine has just started a company importing cymbals for sale to the general public. Drop me a PM if you want his contact details; I won't post them here without his permission!

Sorry the colour isn't really my scene and I found them online for a hundred cheaper.

instead of two bass drums buy a double bass pedal. It saves in terms of tuning and is easier to transport. and unless your playing in a stadium two bass drums will make you look like a tit lol.

try axis pedals or pearl eliminators. iron cobra's are good too.

ya did'nt think it would be going by your influences
where did you see them for 1600? was there shipping on that too?
