Most soundmen think, oh, here we go, a loud, no tone, obnoxious , brittle sounding drum kit…Well i prove them wrong every week-end of my life with my beautiful RCI kit…it truely is, “THE WOW FACTOR”.....My soundman has done sound for LOVERBOY, BILLY SQUIRE, 38 SPECIAL, etc etc, And has personally raved about me having one of the best sounding kits hes worked with….Of course, tuning , head selection, and your personal attack play a giant role in what your kit sounds like, ...The drummer is in charge of what he or she wants you to hear because the sound is TRUE!!!!........Unlike wood kits, acrylic kits are less ringy, more focused, and without funky stray harmonics, A real TRUE sounding drum, thats what RCI gives YOU night after night!!!!..............ALY
