 | taye drums? has anyone had experience with Taye Drums? I have been thinking about buying a set of their birch drums for recording in my studio and for me to practice on (I have a custom kit for live stuff). I am a drummer and have never heard these drums live so i dont really know what to expect. Also, would you recommend the birch for recording or the maple? |

| These are the drums we use in our studio. They are reasonably priced and sound great. The hardware is not great, but serviceable. You might consider other hardware... or not. Certainly get a better kick pedal. But the drums are great. Birch is a good call.  |

| I used to sell th Taye stuff a few years back. They are made pretty well and sound decent. I find them to be a little soft. not in tone, but in actual volume. I've never chacked, but the baring edges might be a little rounder than most newer drums.

| Taye drums are pretty good. I would have to agree that the hardware is less than great. I am pretty sure that they are made by (or the company is owned by) the same guy who made drums for the Canadian drum company Ayotte (I think his name is Ray Ayotte). Anyway, the drums themselves have a pretty solid build, and for the money, they sound pretty good. Best thing to do would be to rent some and record them for yourself and see if you dig them. Good Luck!! |

| Yep, you're right - Ray Ayotte's offshore (Taiwan) manufacturer - tho I'm not a kit drummer anymore, I've used them in recording and toured with them (Bryan Adams old drummer used them on our tour) and he really liked them, and agreed - the hardware is weak, but useable. They sound good, and are manufactured to within tight specs - very consistent from what I hear, and they are a big value for what you get - hard to find anything in their price range that sound and record as well... my .02 cents,

| I have a set of the Pro X line and like them quite a bit. I agree that the kick pedal is not the greatest, and I would like lug locks, but other than that they are great. The design of the rest of the hardware is awesome: the stands, legs, supports all lock so that you can set up quickly and the same each time. A lot of thought was put into the design. The snare that came with the kit is currently my favorite of the five snares I have, even more so than my deep dish Ayotte (made when Ray Ayotte was still with the company)! Favorites come and go but it's a great snare. Taye is the best value IMO until you get into the high end. David

| well, actually i think I am going to go with Starclassic Performer series 100% birch drums. I just feel a little better going with these seeing as how I have heard them before. any thoughts on the change? |

| I don't think you'll be dissappointed with the starclassics. Very nice stuff.
