My Time With an Aluminum Drum Kit- The INDe Kalamazoo
I bought an INDe Kalamazoo Aluminum drum kit (with my own money, NOT SPONSORED), and share my initial first impressions, as well as my thoughts after having owned and gigged with it for about 1.5 months.
I did my best to include lots of fully mixed audio demos, as well as raw audio examples. No smoke and mirrors, just a really neat kit.
Drum Sizes: 14" x 20" Bass Drum, 8" x 12" Rack Tom, 16" x 16" Floor Tom

Since posting this video, Josh from INDe confirmed (SEE PINNED COMMENT) that the RST brackets on my bass drum were actually installed backwards by accident, and has now been addressed on future kits. So, if you get a new kit you probably won't have the same problem I did.
