What are the best drum-kits on the market?

That's hard to say since there are sooooo many drum makers out there. First, you have the mass-produced companies (TAMA Pearl,Yamaha, etc.), then the semi-custom companies (DW, Noble and Cooley, Ayotte) then, your smaller "uber-custom" companies (Joyful Noise, Moon, Thumper) that will make each drum to your individual specs.

Do a Google search for "Custom Drums" and you will find a multitude of small custom builders. Prices will range from the hundreds to the thousands.

I think the only way you can determine the "best" is what sounds the best to you. Although the better the craftsmanship will produce a better quality instrument, there isn't in my opinion a "best drumkit".

Hope this helps,

What is the type of drum that begins and ends in the same letter?

There is an African percussion instrument which could be referred to as a drum called an "Udu". The Udu is a jug/gourd shaped instrument. It has an open top & closed bottom with a hole in the side to allow more sound to come out.

When you hit the Udu on top with an open palm it makes a thick bass drum like sound. It's not a traditional drum in the sense that there is no skin to strike. I'm not certain that having a skin is a prerequisite to being classified a drum however it is referred to as such in text books etc.

The Udu functions like a bass drum with in the ensemble, it is struck with a flat, open palm similarly to how you would produce the bass note on a Djembe. Even if some purists out there may not consider the Udu a traditional drum it is definitely a part of the un-tuned percussion family and due to it's functionality within an ensemble is for all intents and purposes, a drum.

Who Played Drums on the Cynical Swing CD was it Randy Paine?

WOW That's an odd question? I have to assume that you don't have the CD cover or else you would know who played drums on it I guess. Hopefully you purchased a legal copy. ahem!

Yes Randy Paine a drummer originally from the Boston area who now resides in Los Angeles played drums on the Cynical Swing CD you're asking about. The CD has been referenced in a few places online over that past couple years thanks to it being mentioned in a 2007 Wah lesson (a wah is a guitar effect) given by a very popular Los Angeles guitarist named Jeff Fiorentino on his very popular website Jfrocks.com I guess after that a few other people got their hands on some of the songs from the CD. I believe from various Facebook sources or maybe a band member's myspace account, or maybe it was actually for sale somewhere online who knows.

The fact that someone would ask a question about a CD that as far as I know you can't even purchase anywhere is really weird. I only know about it because after Jeff's lesson on the wah topic I searched Google to research the CD.

Since I'm in the music business and misunderstandings happen I have to point out that there was no copyright infringement on the part of Jeff Fiorentino, he simply gave credit to where the wah example he used came from. Fans know he does that all the time. It's interesting though that while Guitarist Jeff Fiorentino has no affiliation with the CD he it would seem knows or knew a couple members from the band and referenced a small 10 second piece of it during a video lesson segment he did on proper use of a Wah again back in 2007. Whenever a big whig in the guitar online community like Jeff Fiorentino references something other sources pick up on it. Someone got a really great plug there back in 2007 and I sure hope they capitalized on it.

That's about all I know on the topic. Maybe you can find the actual band members on Facebook or somewhere.
