wraped drums sound ass-ish. I like a finely tuned ringing kit and I mean I'll prep a kit, put pillowcases over the heads as dampeners, tape here and there, Moon gel, but if the drum has that damn resonance restricting wrap over the shell, its gonna sound like a box, and not an instrument.

I have a Premier Singia thats amazing, but IMO the best drums in the world TODAY are made by yamaha.

Over engineered and are set within MUCH tigher tollerences than any other drum company.
Amazing hardware nothing fvckin breaks or rattles loose.

OBV multiple snares, and multiple kicks ect. But definetly don't NOT try a nice Yamaha. it'd be silly not to.

My favorite currently is the oak custom. I need to buy one, but there are so many other things right now
