Question: is a dw performance series kit worth the expense?
Story: I'm in the market for a new kit. Been playing about 10 years and have never invested in a real quality kit for myself. I priced out a brand new dw performance series with brand new hardware and cymbals. Essentially creating a dream kit from the ground up. $3200 was the total and is not insignificant for me to spend. I'm wondering what makes a dw kit stand out from say a ludwig or pearl or other brands I may not be familiar with. Could I spend $2000 on something else and be just as happy?
