i don't own a tracking room
but i have a good friend that is a collector
he has a rotating door of anywhere from 5 to 15 kits at any one given time
over the 3 years i've actively been renting his kits, he only still has 2 that have not been sold
one of which i told him he couldn't sell, the other he loves and plays in his band
he has two double sided cymbal tree racks full of cool cymbals, and easily 25 snare drums
some he won't rent to anyone.....
if a band is in need of a kit, or multiple kits for various sounds......he's the man
he knows drums, their sounds, their vintage, and what snare drums to put with em better then anyone i've delt with
i've played since i was a wee lad.....and whether or not i'm any good at playing them, i am pretty good at tuning them
i get the kits from him, tune em up.....and we're rocking
my favorite kit i've played of his was a mid 70's green satin flame grestch......it just makes you play to it.....you can try to play what you want, but that kit just makes you do what it wants.....
