A dream they are Goki.
Alrighty then...let the haters hate.
I got my first Signia 14x7 yesterday. If you could see the smile on my face after playing on it a couple hours you'd hate me.
David was right, he said they had volume. That's not all they have. The body, tone and attack like the kit itself is duplicated in the snares. Can't get over it. High as kite right now. No idea how Premier did it.
I'm not going to rave on, lets just say I am completely fulfilled with this badboy. It's ridiculous.
I will say, the more I read on the love owners have for these drums the more I understand it.
So...
I now have two 14x7 whites and a 14x7 natural. You know when you are looking for something and you find it, a few times
The second white is coming as partial trade for the Anniversary kit. The natural color one I stole and will make a little money on it.
There is another white one on craigslist right now. The guy wants 300 and it's scratched up, and doesn't have the diecast hoop. They said I'd never find one. pfft
I have an 8x8, another 22x18 kick, 14x12, 16x14 hang toms coming all as partial trade towards blackie. He didn't have a 14 or 15 floor tom to go with my 16 so going with hangs for now. I find another 10 and I will have two complete kits. One for practice, one ready to leave.
I'll have to get the 8 painted. Someone wanted it painted and never picked it up. To think someone has a whole kit painted like this is disturbing.
The black dot in the snare pics is just the camera lens. I have pics of the snare on the kit but for some reason they haven't come through my email yet.
I know years ago this discussion was had on the
other forum. Painted drums vs Veneered drums. It was said painted drums sounded better (different??). I have no real explanation for it but these whites have some mojo that the greens had and the Walnuts didn't. I loved the Walnuts, they sounded great, and I don't think it is something you would even notice unless you are playing them constantly like I am. I could just be nuts but the green machine was special to me and I feel it, hear it in these whities.
Flame on veneer whores
