I got my PDP 805 Rev Signature kit last November. Now I realise that it would have been a much better choice to get a Ddrum Defiant kit. I won't list the reasons why I should have gotten the Ddrum's, but I feel like shit right now. ugh......And I also feel kinda bad because my dad bought me my PDP kit.

I guess I could get the Ddrum's as my next kit, but that won't be for a long time. I guess I could just get the shell pack though, and the two kits could share hardware and cymbals.

Whatever. I'm pissed...

That sucks bro! I know you said you didn't want to list the reasons, but I have to ask why?

You read about my drums turning yellow right? Black drums can't do that.
I thought I wanted a bigger kit than those. Now I am down to the same size kit.
Plus with the ddrum's, I could get the add-ons and have the same sizes as the PDP kit.
There is a 13" tom avaiable for the ddrum kit, not for mine.
The ddrum's didn't cost as much.
The ddrum's actually had a better feel and sound to them.

UGH!!!

I plan on getting it though. I am 13 so cash is scarce, but I can work with my dad over the summer, and help around the house and stuff like that. I want those drums sooo bad now. But I'll get'em. haha

Your PDP should be under warranty. If the wrap has yellowed excessively, contact your dealer for a warranty replacement........ or refund.

Unfortunately, he has varnished shells. Kinda sucks, because this is a brand new kit, and he's now lost even more resale by the fade. Sripping and or painting them would be costly and risky.

Buyer's remorse sucks ass. Sorry man, but remember, you can always work toward the kit you want.

G'luck!

if i'm not mistaken, the defiant's are cheaper made, and are made of basswood. i have played them and they do sound nice, but i like the 805 series too. they are solid birch, and "upgrading" to the ddrum defiant will be more of a "downgrade" for you. when i started out i had a 12 piece kit, sometimes added on to 15 piece. now i'm down to a 5 piece.

Buying a name badge sucks. Forget the badge and buy what you want.

If nothing else, at some point you'll find yourself wishing you had a stage kit and a practice kit. Well, now you have the practice kit covered. If you can't change your circumstances, try to change your outlook.

I'm 25 and just got my first "decent kit". Til now all my kits were second hand and faded and frankly quite low quality. You're only 13 so you have loads of time to land that baby of a drum set!

No, I don't have a band right now. I'm trying to get one together though.

You aren't going to get much sympathy from me. The set I had when I was 13 was a cheap Japanese knock-off mismatched set with duct tape hold the toms in place and hardware that a good breeze could knock over, but it was all my parents could afford and I cherished it. Stop complaining about what you don't have, there is someone who would love to have a set as nice as the PDPs. Enjoy them.
