Or do you do it just for the fun of it?

We want to be better than … Or at least be as good as …

Am I right? 🙂

However, comparing yourself to person X or Y doesn’t help you.

On the contrary, it’s mostly a waste of your precious time.

At least that’s what I learned a long time ago.

Are Expensive Drums Crucial For Your Great Sound?

Expensive drums - do you really need them?

Expensive drums and cymbals are not only looking but sounding cool. Do you agree?

Well, it depends on the musician playing the instruments.

At least that’s what I’ve noticed over and over again during my musical career.

However, the cheapest stuff won’t work either.

Because what you really need is quality and reliability.
