Drum Kit Responses
First off, thanks so very much for the responses (both the query aa well as the two responses). The descriptions given, while differing in some small details, were, in the main, right on.
As to my location, I'm in Costambar. Up until last October, I was able to avail myself of a drum set at the The Village Club, in Cabarete, were I played. Unfortunately, the club closed. I'm trying to either buy that kit, or something similar. While jazz is a scarce commodity in most areas, it is particularly rare in the DR. My devotion to that style of music is measured by my many trips from Costambar to Cabarete and back; a journey not lightly undertaken, as anyone who has made that trip at night can confirm. I can resume said playing in Cabarete, but first must have a drum set to play on!
Thanks again for all your interest and help.
