Upgrading Drum Kit - lots of questions?
Hey fellow drummers, I'm an intermediate drummer looking to upgrade his kit with about an 1,100 dollar budget. I mainly play Green Day, Blink-182, The Offspring, RHCP, etc.) My ideas were to get the following (let me know if these are good)
1.) Remo Drum Head ProPack (12/13/16 + 14 Emp X snare head)
2.) Pearl 14" Chad Smith Signature Snare Drum
3.) Zildjian Avedis Cymbal Pack (16" Crash, 20" Ride, 14" Hi-Hat and 14" Fast Crash)
4.) Remo Weatherking Smooth White Emperor Bass Drum Head
5.) DW 4002P Double Bass Drum Pedal
6.) Zildjian Avedis 10" Splash
Questions
1.) When I put on the new drum heads, do I need to buy underside ones too, or what? I'm not really sure what to do. Same question for the bass as well.
2.) Is this a good combo for around 1,100 dollars or am I not choosing well?
Answer:
for your question about drum heads:
i wouldn't say that you would have to get new bottom heads, but if you are playing "mic"ed up more than not, or recording, or just want to get your drums sounding the absolute best, then yes, new bottom heads as well should be taken into consideration.
with new bottom heads, if you were to get single ply remos or any other higher end head, your drums will cut through the music more, and have a more easily controlled resonance.
on one of my drum sets, i have evans general g1's for my resonance heads, and remo abassadors for my batters. it works nicely.

The Northeastern University Center for Family Business Announces Larry Rubin, of Bernie & Phyl's Furniture, to speak at the 2009 Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards
The Northeastern University Center for Family Business (Boston, March 23, 2009)
The Northeastern University Center for Family Business is pleased to announce that Larry Rubin, of Bernie & Phyl's Furniture, will speak at the 3rd annual Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards. The Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards program was created two years ago in a partnership between Northeastern University's Center for Family Business and The Family Firm Institute New England Chapter to promote and highlight some of the great achievements of Massachusetts-based, family-owned businesses and entrepreneurs.
Ted Clark, Director of the Center for Family Business notes, "We are excited to have Larry Rubin as a speaker at the 2009 Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards program on April 29, 2009. Bernie & Phyl's Furniture represents what the best of family businesses can be all about, solid management, business growth, generational success and community service."
"We were very excited to be recognized by the Northeastern University Awards program for our contributions as a family business," said Larry Rubin of Bernie & Phyl's Furniture. "Being in business with your family is rewarding, but it does, like every business, have its challenges. The key is to learn as you move forward, and the Awards program is a great opportunity for family business members to identify challenges, learn and create great businesses. We are looking forward to being at the program again this year to support family businesses."
"Given the importance of family businesses to the economy it's fitting to recognize the contribution of these great companies," commented Thomas E. Moore, Dean of Northeastern College of Business Administration. "In addition to Bernie & Phyl's, other past winners of the Massachusetts Family Business of the Year Awards include Sal's Pizza, Camp Thoreau, Crescent Ridge Dairy, Avedis Zildjian and New England Coffee," Moore continued.
Any Massachusetts-based, family-owned business that includes or included more than one generation is eligible for the award. There are three award categories: companies with less than 50 employees, 50-250 employees, and for businesses with more than 250 full-time employees. The awards will be presented at Northeastern University's Henderson House in Weston, MA on April 29, 2009.
