Description:
Brady Drums are almost like a secret weapon for many of the world’s top drummers. Many drummer are endorsed by different manufacturers, but they all still own Brady snares if not kits, and they pay for the drums. Currently, Nick Hodgson of Kaiser Chiefs is a well-known Brady user, and the list of Brady Kit and Snare owners is just too long to print.

- Neil Peart (Rush)
- Terry Bozzio (Jeff Beck)
- Tommy Lee (Motley Crue)
- Barry van Zyl (Johnny Clegg - SA)
- Brent Harris (Just Jinger - SA)

Description: One of the worlds most popular drum kits. These custom made kits are for the serious full time player that can afford to spend the large amount. Saying that you probably would not need to buy another kit for a very very long time if you buy a custom dw.

Catalina - R8000
Black Hawk - R3700

- Rob Bourdon (Linkin Park)
- Cindy Blackman (Ex-Lenny Kravitz)
- Vinnie Colaiuta (Independant)
- Phil Collins

Description: I think Gretsch is a relatively 'new' brand on the S.A. market. You don't see it around much. I think you'd have to do some research to find out more about Gretsch kits.

Ludwig

Accent - R4800

- Fabrizio Moretti (The Strokes)
- Tre Cool (Green Day)
- Alex van Halen (VanHalen)

Description: I have the same feeling about Ludwig as i do Gretsch. It is a kit not often seen around the gigging circuit. I think you'd have to do some research to find out more about Ludwig kits.

Q series - R3690.00
VX series - R4990.00
M series - R6995.00
M Pro series - R9890.00

- Gregg Bissonette (Independant)
- Chris Adler (Lamb of God)

Description: Again, Mapex is a kit you don't see often. I have found it is very difficult to find any parts of hardware for it as well. I think it's a brand that is relatively unexplored and you would have to do some research on the kits.

- Danny Carey (Tool)
- Thomas Lang
- Steve Smith (Journey)

Description: I think Sonor as many is not a hugely known kit, but i think it is a great kit. We haven't really seen any of their top level kits here but the entry level kits for beginner and intermediate or great. I imagine their top level kits are excellent.

R13 000

- David Silveria (Korn)
- Mike Portnoy (Dreamtheater)
- John Blackwell Jnr. (Prince)
- John Dolmayan (System of a Down)
- Lars Ulrich (Metallica)

Description: Tama is a world famous product. Unfortunately again perhaps overpriced, and again anything short of entry level kits is hard to get your hands on. But, Tama without a doubt is a great kit with great hardware and is an excellent buy. Brilliant top level bass drum pedals and hihats.
