I was a “percussion performance” major in college in the 90s.
I went to Aspen, subbed in my local symphony, and played some other legit gigs for a while, until I realized my true love was still drum set.
75% of this I bought new, the rest was pre-owned when I got it. Now it’s all pre-owned lol.
You try to buy this stuff from Steve Weiss and it’s all through the roof. Outfit yourself for less.
