I'm dissappointed that the Studio kits won't be shipping until May. Which, based on the recent track record, it may not be available until June. I doubt I can wait that long.
So, I'm seriously considering taking Bobby up on his DM10 Pro kit offer. While, i wanted the quieter cymbals, Surge will be cool (I kinda wanted those instead, but just liked the price of the plastic/rubber cymbals better.)
any advise of getting the pro now, sell the surge cymbals, and get a set of pintech cymbals instead?
I suppose you could order the Pro kit and try to sell the Surge cymbals, but you won't get list price for them. But if plastic/rubber is important to you, then go for it.
I am glad i didn't order the mesh heads ahead of the kit (now that the kit is changing.) Speaking of which, I'm going to try the Dot mesh head for the snare (seeing how the non-dot version didn't last that long on Hellfire's snare.) Accoustically it may be louder, but probably still quieter than the OEM head.
