DW Drumkits

curious_george

Just wondering what shops in Dublin sell DW kits.

Also are they any good as I'm thinking of getting one only because Jose Pasillas (Incubus) uses them?!

bassey

i think music maker have them, zack from jimmy eat world uses them and i think they sound pretty good

Drum boy

These kits are availible in musicmaker - www.musicmaker.ie

They are top of the line and are very expensive including the lower end ones!

They have a another line called PDP which are also quite good and availibe in musicmaker!

Zapp Brannigan

yeah theyre a rip off. if your set on buying em dont buy them in ireland

spunkymunky

They are the dogs Bo**oxs. Professional kit. Expensive. The PDP kits are good at very good prices. Have one myself and am very happy with it.

ireland is a rip off gettin a bit pissed off hearin that now and everyone is gettin pissed off not bein able to afford gear.... there's a place in dundalk called beat it music ...small little shop beside the sea but they have some savage kits up there DW and all and might just be a bit cheaper than anywhere in dublin or the surrounding area...if u wanna give them a bell the number is (042) 9321700...best of luck

It's more commonly known as Hughes and is on the main street in Blackrock, Dundalk. Hai.

jcoote

never heard of that one... the golden pages says beat it so... best accent in the world ya mugadoon!!

feylya

Beat It is the "real" name of it but it's known as Hughes round these parts.

Trying to sell an Ibanez RG470 for €850...

jcoote

oh right like the pubs in the country... i'm headin down to kelly's when the pub is actually called the bloody whistle... nice one i'd buy it off ya for sure if i could sell the edr...what u lookin at replacin it with

feylya

No, Hughes is trying to sell it for that... An Ibanez RG 1570 Prestige is €860 from Thomann...

jcoote

**** sorry read that wrong... the rg470 thats the same kinda price range as my edr innit?? and its not worth 850... i was up there with baggio gettin some stuff for his kit and your man tried to flog me a wireless pack for 350 got it for 200 up in belfast..mad but they are good for drums

feylya

They're grand if you know your stuff. Otherwise you'll be ripped off in a second. I love going in there cos they don't know me and they try to pass off stuff to me for "a really good price, like you'd see in Dublin!!!". :rolleyes:

jcoote

yeah if you give the impression that your just buying another guitar for the collection they'll treat u fine but they would try to chance their arm for sure...baggio got some great deals off them and the more he talked the cheaper the stuff was... real old fashioned way of dealing with things

feylya

They definately reduce their prices when they realise you know what you're talking about.

dabhoys

The americans are the best sales man. There great for doing a deal and throwing in loads of stuff. There really nice and never seem to mind how many questions you ask. Commission must be part of there wages but I don't care I get good service and gear

feylya

I went into a Sam Ash in 2001 looking for a LTD M-100. There was one on the wall, missing a locking screw and a saddle screw. Found a salesman, pointed at the guitar, said I wanted to buy it but it was missing these two things. I got it half price plus 30% off the rest of my purchases Saved about £200 buying it in America.

dabhoys

I bought some mics from america and the guy threw in 7 mic leads and 2 mic stands with them and two free mics too. They really do make the effort to make you come back again.

My name is Mud

DW's are amazing.

Nuff said

jcoote

well if they got taylor hawkins a record deal they must be good

Don't buy a kit because your favourite drummer uses them. Buy a kit because YOU like the sound of it! Go out an play some DW's, play some Pearl, PDP, Yamaha etc. and buy what you like.

DW have a great reputation, as do Pearl, and Yamaha etc...etc..
