Discussing...and dissing.

Basically, the general consensus is that they're way over-priced considering the fact that the use the same materials from the same suppliers as just about every other quality built Keller shell drum. Check out Medicine Man Custom Drums, user/Mod TimeKeep69 is the builder. You can find a few examples of his work here on the forum and it looks outstanding, for an unbelievable price.

DML Special: 20% off all drums.

Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left!

My friend has a Orange County custom Snare drum, it sounds amazing. He only paid 150 pounds for it ($300)

i'd say basically what they price their stuff for is the radical options. from what i've seen, i think that ocdp has the widest variety of custom - but that's just opinion, i haven't nearly seen it all. but i'd agree that it's overpriced. though travis barker's acrylic kit is perty amazing sounding...

I agree that they are over priced. but i also think their players are overrated. i mean c'mon Travis Barker. If you want to go custom, pick a cheaper brand( in my opinion better brand) i.e. Medicine Man, Dark Horse Percussion, Precision Drums. you will get the same or even better quality, for half the price

he doesn't care how much he spends... OCDP prolly pays him to use their crappy drums and make them "look good".
well he didn't accomplish that very well for me....

plus he is making pretty good dough, im pretty sure he could care less.

True, True... but i wasnt talking about it from Barker's perspective. i was just stating that i dont like him. that was all my opinion.

Take DW over OCDP. I haven't heard of DW's lugs being absolute shit.

Theyre really great drums. But you can get a really great drum made from the same quality parts, and even the same parts for much less money. Basically your kinda paying alot for the name. Great drums though

i have a friend who's been playing his DW kit for quite a while, but decided to "step up" to an SJC. is that just another overpriced ocdp clone, or are those worth the money (and the wait!!) ? i'd ask him, but he's on tour all the time and i never see the guy

yeah, they are overpriced, I would definitely pick SJC over Orange County, but i would also pick DW over both of them

I would go with SJC over Orange County too. Their Butcher Hoop kits look great.
