Argentum Registered: 02/22/04 Loc: Pennsylvania	This post is basically just for you to share your opinion on which brands/companies (Yamaha, Dynasty, Pearl, etc.) make the best of each type of drum (snare, tenor, bass). I'm only going to use the big 3, but you're welcome to post other companies like Premier and Ludwig if you see fit. And by the way, I only have first-hand experience with Yamaha, so the rest is just based on what I've heard in videos, etc. Snare: 1. Yamaha 2. Dynasty and Pearl (two different sound that I like equally) Tenor: 1. Dynasty 2. Pearl 3. Yamaha Bass: 1. Pearl 2. Yamaha 3. Dynasty Feel free to add other things like pit instruments, cymbals, etc. if you want.

EskimosAnonymous Registered: 06/02/04 Loc: Indiana	Man i think Premier and Ludwig get a bum rap sometimes. I like both of those brand's snares but anyway. Tenors-Dynasty Snare-Pearl Bass- Pearl That would be my top pick. But i do like the Premier snares. The "pow" sound you get is pretty cool _________________________ My line's sign of the dedicated drummer: Wanker's Elbow UCHS Marching Patriots 03-04 4th Bass/ 2nd Chair Quints- Robert Smith 04-05 1st Chair Quints- The Little Mermaid

Nhsdrummer07 Registered: 06/05/04 Loc: Tuscaloosa, Alabama	tenor-Dynasty. theyre the only ones who offer an 8 inch spock drum that you can actually tell the difference in tones. plus the wide variety in color finishes can really make a drumline look rockin. snare-Dynasty. the double snare effect on their drums just sound great. and once again, the color range is good. bass-well, im not so sure on bass drums. im not really a bass player. and i dont know much about bass playing and tuning and all that good stuff, so i really have got nothing for ya there. and a side note- zildjian makes great cymbals. _________________________ Josh Roberts [color:"blue"]Northside High School Drumline Instructor and Arranger[/color] [color:"skyblue"]Pickens Academy Drumline Instructor and Arranger[/color] [color:"red"]Proud member of SABANation[/color]

icejackal8 Registered: 11/21/04 Loc: CA	As a bass drummer, having played both on Pearl and Yamaha drums, I feel that the quality of Pearl drums are much higher. The sound quality is a big difference too. Oh and by the way, Zildjan rules the cymbal world, marching and concert
