how much would a smallish sized kick cost?

Probably best to email them. I've not seen many of their drums around in general plus shipping up to you in Canada makes me think that they would know best!

I had no idea they made drum kits.

Def email. Their drums are super BADASS.

wow. i my pork pie kit but those are hot!

I wanna learn to play drums just to have an excuse to order an Emperor kit.

i taught myself. got my first kit back in 99. it's not that tough. friend of mine did the same thing since we couldn't find a drummer for our first real band.

I taught myself to play on a mismatched mostly Slingerland kit. If I had an Emperor kit, I probably would have kept playing.

These seem like run-of-the-mill Keller shells (which they're probably going to over-price just like every other "custom" Keller shell drum company does) with some Emperor badges and hardware. What am I missing?

They got a deal with DW for shells years ago so that's what they're using now days.

still probably overpriced.
most custom drums are pricey.

why not order shells, even pre-drilled, lacquer them yourself and mount the hardware?
save money and learn how to put together drums? score!

that said, those emperor kits do look nice.

emperor drums. emperor amps, verellen cabs. stuff i see in photos and yet no one seems to own or know much about

I've got a Verellen cab. They're honestly not as common as Emperor cabs, it seems. I love my Verellen cab though, and Ben is always great to work with!
