Re: Taye Drums

The reason I became a Taye endorser was after playing a Taye kit in Glenn Weber's Drum Shop. Glenn asked me to play the kit and then asked me what I thought they cost. My guess was in the thousands and when he told me $700, I could not believe it. The hardware was the equivalent (and better) of any drumset I had ever played before and the drums tehmselves in both sound and finish were incredible.

I have yet to find a drumset anywhere near the price that is equivalent in quality. One of the major factors resulting in such high quality at such low prices is that Taye makes all of its own parts from shells to hardware and even the drumheads. Many drum companies get certain of their parts from outside suppliers, which costs them more which, in turn, costs you more!

The two models of Taye Drums that I use and favor are the TourPro (made of basswood and birch) and the StudioMaple (all maple). While the TourPro costs less than the StudioMaple kit because of the difference in wood which produces a slightly different sound, the quality of the sound is the same from both kits.

I suggest you try them for yourself.
