After a 16 year leave of the drums (marriage, kids, work, etc) I built a home office thats large enough to accomodate my new drums and audio gear. I changed my previous audio equipment with the goal of finding new gear that could effortlessly play loud and clean inorder to not overpower the music with the drums. Im using a Denon 2900 (APL modified) Placette passive pre, Accustic Arts Amp IIHC (240wpc) and Zu Definitions (101db sensitivity). My drums are positioned about 7 feet in front and centered between the speakers. The set is a Taye Studio Maple (7 piece) with a large array of Zildjian and Sabian cymbals. I enjoy playing the music I grew up with in the 70s (Genesis, ELP, The Police, Steely Dan, Rush, Toto to name a few). In case you hadnt noticed, these bands all possessed great drummersif only I could play like any of them.
