I bought a Pink Drum Kit + PDR New Yorker Review | TBC Pod S2 EP2

In this episode of The Bobby Choo Podcast, we talk about why I ended up buying a pink drum kit — and no, it wasn’t just for the looks 😅 We dive into the real things you should consider before buying a drum kit: sound, size, portability, use case, budget, and whether aesthetics actually matter more than we think. I also share my honest thoughts and review on the PDP New Yorker — who it’s for, where it shines, and where it might fall short — especially for drummers playing gigs, church, small stages, or home setups. Big shoutout to JS Music for making this happen Whether you’re a drummer thinking about your next kit, curious about compact drum setups, or just here for the stories, this episode’s for you.
