Here's some of the guys that choose Peavey over everything else.

Richard Stewart from Helena, MT, USA.
I have been a drummer for 25 years, professionally for almost 20.
I am totally devoted to my RadialPro 751 and I really wish there were more drum sizes available.

As it is, my kit is comprised of one I bought new, and one I bought off Ebay about a year ago. I bought the second kit because the tom sizes were 'shifted' to the smaller, mine being 12, 14, 16 and the new one having a 10, 12, and 14 tom configuration. I use Evans EQ2 heads so I can get distinctive tones from identical pairs of 12 and 14 toms. I think it's worth it, and no one notices the pairings of identical toms. The bass' are also identical, so I put solid heads on one of them (Evans Hydraulic + heavy resonant) and converted it into a gong tom. 'Thud' describes it well.
Endre Huszar, acoustic drums, keyboards
Founder-leader of the 9:30 Collective, one of the most highly rated electro-acoustic jazz groups in Hungary. He started his career in one of the best known Hungarian progressive rock groups called Mini in the late 80s. In 1992, he founded his band The Brainwash with the British sax player/singer Sandra Grant (Soul II Soul, Reggae Philharmonic Orchestra), which they released one album with. His remix made from a track from this album reached to the final of the US BillboardMagazine Song Contest of 1996.
This was followed by the 9:30, of which he was a founder-producer and a number of studio sessions with various pop productions and a tour with the Hungarian World Music Orchestra. In the last three years with the exception of a few performances with Desney Bailey at Sziget Festival (one of the largest cultural festivals in Europe), he has dedicated all his attention to the new 9:30 Collective album, Momentary Fame.

I used Peavey drums on tour from 1996 - 2007. I fell in love with the drums after seeing and hearing them at the Namm show in Aneheim Ca. 1996.
Peavey was very generous giving me 4 drum kits and loaners all over the world. My favorite kit which I still have, is a dark brown wood 1000 kit. This drum set sounds wicked and I would test it against any other top of the line drums. Full, round, fat punchy sound! I also have a custom kit, a 750 which has a mylar plastic rap around the shells. It's a green kit with tribal masks that I designed and gave to Peavey. It's a one of a kind kit and people dig it. The other 2 were the 500 series which sounded great but the construction was less than impressive. The shells fell off from the radial bridge system after a couple hours of playing.
Bad glue or adhesive I think. I complained to Steve Volpp, the designer of the drums and to the Peavey drum dept. They told me they had problems with the adhering of the radial bridge to the shells of the 500 and 750 series.I am endorsed by Sonor drums now and I used them for Killing Joke, and the last Treponem Pal recording session.
