Here is what Ryan has to say about A D H and his new RCI drums...

"I have been playing drums for the past 9 Years now and this is the first time I have ordered a set through ADH.

I chose acrylic drums after playing an OCDP set whilst on tour last year and loving everything about them. Why RCI and not OCDP? Because RCI offered me more tonal qualities from my drums and more direct contact about my order as well as the excellent value for money as opposed to OCDP charging above the odds for the same shells with less customer care.

In a sentence Dave at ADH and the RCI team really look after their customers throughout the ordering process and getting to know exactly what you want your drums to say.

After a couple of weeks going back and forth between myself and Dave deciding on sizes, hardware, colour etc I decided RCI Drums were the best option for me, mainly because of the amount of professional drummers that use them, and the amount of customisation available. After hearing the drums for myself at a local store the deal was sealed and I ordered my RCI kit through Dave at ADH.

I could not wait until this kit was delivered, literally counting down the days until it arrived. Dave kept me up to date with the build process by email about half way through and with another email once Romano and his team had shipped my drums.

The sound that these drums produce is unbelievable, warm, in my opinion not much different from wood but they have a “much louder” voice than wood, which is exactly what I was looking for for live performances. The look of these drums do as much for a crowd as the amazing sound! You really cant judge acrylic drums until you have seen them for yourself, pictures do not do the justice as to how good they look up close. In the studio the drums record as good as they sound live, it is the first complete kit that I have ever used for a recording instead of mixing and matching bits and pieces.

When the drums arrived from the order date it took only seven weeks!! All of the drums were in amazing condition no problems and had been packaged very well. The drums are excellent and I will be back in touch with Dave soon.

Thanks to Dave, Romano and everyone else involved in designing, building and delivering my drums."
