The Budget Guide to "Sleeper" Drum Gear with Gerry Porter

The Budget Guide to "Sleeper" Drum Gear with Gerry Porter

Author: Bart Vanderzee March 12, 2024 Duration: 1:06:43
Gerry shares with us a list of drums and cymbals that are often overlooked and under-marketed but sound just as good as the equipment that is 10x the price. "Sleeper Gear," by definition, is drum gear that you might not notice at a music store or never even consider trying when, in reality, it sounds great and can be found at a bargain price. Gerry Porter runs Hazelshould.com and has had thousands of drums and cymbals pass through his hands. He has put together a list of cymbals, snares, and drum sets that he thinks are great-sounding and high-quality gear that most people completely overlook!
