AFA the Gretsch, if it was good enough for Chet...........The Champ should be fine-mic it if ya need to. There are all kinds of small-ish drum kits available online, some with cymbals included.Ok so I know this is a bass players group, but I trust everyone’s opinions here and I need some advice. My country band is looking to broaden its sound. We’re going to put a rockabilly/southern rock set after our acoustic country set. We’re looking for a lead player, and getting a drum kit for our cajon/singer. Being the bands manager I guess I’m responsible in the budget so I’ve been looking at some gear and I’ve decided on this; (lead player we’re looking at has a Gretsch already so no need for guitar) a fender champ reissue, a Gretsch Catalina club kit and sabian B8x cymbals and hot rods or brushes for the sticks. My bass gear is perfect right now for what we’re doing, if anything it’s a little too much for our venues and I don’t plug into the pa. We have pa’s for everywhere’s we’re playing so amp size doesn’t matter but I was wondering if anyone sees any problems with the new gear that we’re going to get. I’m not too experienced with the rockabilly sound but I think a gretsch and a champ should do it quite fine and make some good country lead tones
