I finally bought a practice kit!
« on: September 19, 2007, 05:51:15 PM »

PRAISE GOD!

Yes, as recommend by LGM's own drumming forum I managed to find a shop in my country that stocked one of these:

DW Go Anywhere Practice


 :D ;D 8) ;D :D ;D


I also picked up a couple of Promark SD1 Dylan Elise signature sticks. They have the length & size of an SD1 but they are light as a feather (seriously). For guys with big hands these are a real nice fit & they aren't bulky at all. I'm not sure if you'll be able to get them in the States.

For those that don't know (I'd be surprised if anyone did know him) Dylan Elise is an upcoming drummer here in NZ. He's not a gospel drummer so I won't provide any links but he's definitely a nice guy.

He's a member here but rarely has time for the internet as he's always doing a roadshow or clinic or gig.


I have been holding out for one these kits for over a year & was dreading the thought that I'd have to internet order it but praise God
the drum shop that sold it to me had stock arrive yesterday so I was in there in the same day before they had even organised the new stock around the shop lol  ;D

Cost me an arm & a leg but I don't care. I set it up last night & was just happy that I could finally practice late at night & not disturb anyone.

I've got printed material & a metronome sitting right next to it ready to go so I know I'm in for some good shedding!

Very cheap. A quick google brought up this...

Never heard of nextag though so I don't know if the site is trustworthy.

Remember that time when I told you to buy that awesome DDRUM/TAMA/DW Practice kit!

I saw one at GC for only about $130. Might have been cheaper cause I didn't try to buy it.
I'm destined for greatness!!!
