Spent 600$ and I don't really like any of it. I'm like dying over here. I bought a DW4000 double bass pedal, a Sabian Crash and a Boomstand.
All I wanted was a new single pedal, costing around 100$ and came out wtih all this. I wonder if there are refunds. I'm gonna play around on my set for a bit see if I like it, if not i'll call the place back.
Has anyone else ever done this?

You mean, bought something I didn't actually want, then asked the internet if they have ever done it?

yeah, take it back, get a good single bass and an A custom and you'll not only be $200-300 richer, but HAPPIER as well. :)

I just don't how you had your mind set on a good single peddle, and ended up with a DW4000 double pedal. What were you thinking? Was the salesman being tricky to you?

I agree, DONT BUY the 4000 its a poor pedal, and the XS you can buy an entire pack for 220$ so ya, you got ripped

Yes very, I hate that ****ing store. I'm easy with my money and they knowit and I can't help it. They did the same thing with my amp, 200watts is not big enough, to hear over drums go 400watts and I know not much about amps so I got 400 watts. andI dont even go a quarter of the way up. argh I'm done buying instruments for a while. grr

Personally, what I like to do is if you know what you want, and you have tried it out. Just buy it from the internet.

That's what I was thinking. I know it's my fault in all and stuff.. But I called and they said they would return it and the cymbal would have to be clean, but i only struck it 3 times so it should be okay.
I'll go bring them in now and tell you guys what happens.
upgrade? not really. You need to not impulse buy.

How the hell did you pay $140 for a 70002 double pedal? Are you talking US? Cause we're talking Canadian prices...

You mean $210.
:rolleyes:
And I HATE IT when people say "oh, I'm awesome cause I only payed half of what you payed! HAHAHA!" Then they say they traded crap in, and I just roll my eyes at them...
ha yeah $210. I traded crappy stuff too. its great when there are people that usually dont work in drums that try to look at used gear. it was a broken cymbal stand. hah. And no im not awesome i just lucked out.
