[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Oh my.

[DrumIntoTheNight]

I didn't realise they were selling retail versions?

[Berk]

Ehh, That kit would be nice without the lame *** graphics on the shells imo.

[DrumIntoTheNight]

Better graphics than on the new version of the kit =/

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Shut up berk they aint lame

[Berk]

Ugh. How can you think there not lame?

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Coz I quite like them

[Berk]

Eh, Thats cool.

imo there pretty gimicky tbh.

[maniac0796]

They are pretty gay...

You think with all this durability stuff and "we're the best hardware maker" stuff, DW would have something other then wingnuts on their cymbal stands.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

If they work why change em

[DrumIntoTheNight]

Gold hardware looks icky, IMO. Plus you'd spend your entire life worrying about scratching it.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

He wouldn't. And I think it looks really cool when used properly.

Gold on green looks fly

[maniac0796]

Gold hardware can only go with:

Dark Natural Woods. Stuff like Walnut etc etc...

You cannot use Gold on white, it has to be brushed, or brass.

[Berk]

Tbh gold hardware goes good with white.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Nah.

Never mind personal preference, Maniac knows best!!...:rolleyes:

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Lol.

[Mr Pink]

DW and NP just ripped off Moon's Pictures of Lilly kit...that is better...naked chicks and all. NPs has pics of mystic goats and other strangeness.

[Drum Phil]

Ugh. How can you think there not lame?

How can you think the disgusting kits you keep posting arent lame?

[Berk]

I keep posting?

Plz give me link to the last kit I posted.

[Drum Phil]

"Keep Posting" has no timescale :)

[Little Android Man]

Holy Paragons.

[fastlane]

i actually like the gold. i dont think it looks that bad at all. and the pictures a from other albums so it might not look THAT great but it's mostly symbolic :P also someone said something about the dark woods looking good with gold. would a root beer fad or tobacco fade look good with gold? chrome gets old after awhile and im thinking on my next kit to get one of those finishes and gold.

[MeaninglessPhoto]

hot as hell

but I like his new kit better.

But I like his old Tamas a lot better.

[fishbulb]

Old news.

They've been selling these for over a year already.

[ringworm]

Ehh, That kit would be nice without the lame *** graphics on the shells imo.

i have to agree, those graphics kinda ruin it, but its still pretty awesome

[ThatOneDrummer]

DW and NP just ripped off Moon's Pictures of Lilly kit...that is better...naked chicks and all. NPs has pics of mystic goats and other strangeness.
neil's dream drumset when he was younger was the pictures of lily kit.
so this was kind of his way of..."paying homage" to keith moon or something
and i dont see any goats on that kit...
anyway, i think its an awesome set
did they let you play it, or was it boxed in by that soundscreen?

[lmldrummer]

looks boxed in, since you can see the screen on both sides

[rising_drummer]

Gold hardware looks icky, IMO. Plus you'd spend your entire life worrying about scratching it.

when your neil peart, i dont think you have to worry about little things like getting a scratch on your solid gold hardware. :lol:

[fishbulb]

Why would they let anybody off the streets play a $25,000 kit?

[the_pure_drummer]

Woah i dont really know what to think of that kit tbh.

Overkill maybe?

[paul1111]

cool kit, but i liked his ludwig superclassic kit better

[ant_182]

Woah i dont really know what to think of that kit tbh.

Overkill maybe?

says this kid....

[the_pure_drummer]

haha and what the hell on my kit is overkill?

B8 cymbals and a cheap meinl splash for cymbals.....

Leedy starter kit.....

Cheap mapex boom stand....

Worn down remo heads......


That comment coming from you is ****ing stupid.

Your buying cymbals every ****ing week!

Keep the comments to yourself.

[maniac0796]

He meant "coming from a mike portnoy fan" perspective.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Was gonna say, My kit is far bigger than pure's lol

[TerranCmdr]

Why would they let anybody off the streets play a $25,000 kit?

Hey now, I have a house! What do you think I am, a bassist? :P

Yeah, it was screened in. Even if they did let me play it, I'd probably be too afraid I might break something anyway.

[spike9908]

Why would they let anybody off the streets play a $25,000 kit?

Correction... $30,000 kit. But yeah, these have been around for a while. Honestly, I wouldn't want to have it, no matter how amazing it is. If I'm gonna spend that much on a kit, I'd rather have the exact specs. I want.


EDIT: Not to mention it doesn't have the full Paragon series anymore.

[LoneStarDrummer]

i actually quite like the graphics. in case some of you aren't aware, they are from some of their album covers. it was for their 30th anniversary tour. it's simply representing some of their greatest albums/achievements over the years.

[Doublebasssabian]

Tacky but in a really cool way lol. I love that kit on stage, off it meh. Great cymbals though.

I just didn't want to over guess how much it cost because people would bitch at me then.

Same here.

[doink]

they had one of those at the atlanta guitar center for a while. found out recently that it was sold to some guy that came out to some show that guitar center had it set up at.

he was rich, had money to spare, and bought the thing on the spot.


hey had to have two guys from guitar center come over and set it up for him.

having seeing it in person, its quite overwhelming.

[White Riot!]

They are pretty gay...

You think with all this durability stuff and "we're the best hardware maker" stuff, DW would have something other then wingnuts on their cymbal stands.

Like poopty plastic tama nuts?

Oh I'm sure that cheap plastic cast is stronger than steel....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[DxRocker]

imo, "all gold" hardware is just a big no-no. A little too much "bling bling" for my taste.

Gold hoops, lugs etc... I could understand, but like this? No... just no.

[Drum Phil]

I didnt realise even the wingnuts were gold plated.

[ThatOneDrummer]

hell, the drum key nuts on the cymbal swing adjustment thing (the little black thing on dw cymbal seats) is gold
they went all out
i really love this kit. not even gonna lie

[We_Love_Lime]

That kit is so stupid.

[Doublebasssabian]

Like poopty plastic tama nuts?

Oh I'm sure that cheap plastic cast is stronger than steel....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Mate what is with your anti-tama crusade? The black plastic nuts are so easy to use, plus they are pretty durable. So for ****'s sake just open your mind.

[Talos]

Ugh, the kit looks awful. I bet it sounds great but still, tacky graphics and tacky hardware.

[Berk]

I really want all that hardware and all those cymbals

[Panopticon]

They are pretty gay...

You think with all this durability stuff and "we're the best hardware maker" stuff, DW would have something other then wingnuts on their cymbal stands.

lmfao you are probably the biggest idiot on the forums.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

Quite.

[Doublebasssabian]

lmfao you are probably the biggest idiot on the forums.

Lol, bit harsh ept2? i wouldn't say the biggest.

[White Riot!]

No , we had an arguement quite a while ago about wingnuts. This has nothing to do with anti tama bullshit.

First the guy whines on about metal wingnuts not being durable.....while trying to profess that a 1c plastic cast is the ultimate cymbal nut.

...Riiigggghhhr........

[Panopticon]

Lol, bit harsh ept2? i wouldn't say the biggest.

nah i'm getting pretty sick of his elitist attitude.

[static]

^^^

[Inkstar]

Sweet mother!! I didn't think that thing was on retail.

[GhostNote]

Lol, bit harsh ept2? i wouldn't say the biggest.

I'm taking Etp2's side on this one, for reasons such as:

They are pretty gay...

You think with all this durability stuff and "we're the best hardware maker" stuff, DW would have something other then wingnuts on their cymbal stands.

..That Etp2 was of course talking about.

And who could forget this outstanding example of ignorance and stupidity, which I, surprisingly enough; didn't get a reply from when I stated it's terrible idiocy....

Gold hardware can only go with:

Dark Natural Woods. Stuff like Walnut etc etc...

You cannot use Gold on white, it has to be brushed, or brass.

Cannot? Ah I see, that's of course why people do it anyway :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
