loving the kit dude. lovely tama and double bass set up. also likin the mat you got in set up on lol. very cool, wish my set up was that cool! post some sound if you can. : )

[dingbat]

Very rich finish! I wanted to know if you are very tall/long legged as the bass drums/pedals looks a bit far apart from one another. When I had a two BD kit long, long ago I needed to have my BD's close together so that my legs did not feel splayed apart and uncomfortable to play, and also to bring the HH closer so that it was not a long reach.

[MetalThrasher442]

Metalhead I will post some of my music/just a solo once I muffle my bass' and get all new skins because I currently have just the Tama ones and I want to wait until they get dulled a little bit and I want my kit to get the best sound as possible.

As for the double bass' being far apart..I think they feel good to me. I guess in the picture they do look a little far apart, but if you sat on my throne and started playing you would feel that they actually weren't. There always is time for some set-up changes, but for now it feels fine to me.

Mate, are you from the UK (London), as I used to have that *exact* mat on which your kit is atop. Nice set up by the way,, I have a superstar 4 piece, so yours is literally twice as big(!)

No I'm in the U.S and that is actually a toy car rug that is like 12 years old that I used to play toy cars on when I was younger.

Yeah well the standard Tama snare skin sucks so there's my reason for the coating coming off so easily. I bought another (better) evans snare skin, but I'll wait a little longer to put it on. The Tama skin still has some life.

I see you hit your snare skin pretty high up rather than in the middle. Anyway I like your kit.

[infernal drummer]

impressive kit ... nice colour.. awesome

[MetalThrasher442]

Thanks. The color is actually a little darker in person.

I actually have more pictures I just didn't want to post too many pics at once(due to some people having slow computers and it taking a while to load). But I'll post them soon.

You made a great decision with the Superstar Custom! It is such a great sounding kit! the only thing I can recommend: put better heads on, it really makes the sound better!
I like this scarlet fade...good job there!

PS.: I like your carpet ;)

peace,

Karl

Thanks. Yeah I'm putting new skins on it soon and I'm going to muffle my bass'.

[Rohan]

Hey im from Australia and i swear I also had that exact same mat! Those things sure are wide spread!
Nice kit though, I also suggest a high-hat clamp so you can bring those hats in closer.

[MetalThrasher442]

I'm actually happy with my set-up, but thanks for the advice.

[MetalThrasher442]

Oh yeah guys I ended up spending two hours moving my left bass drum in more and fixing my toms again. The bass' are a lot closer now haha.

[Vegard]

that's a very nice kit. I'm from Norway, and I have that carpet too. maybe we should all put it under our drumsets and start a club...

[d.c.drummer]

Nice Kit. I have that carpet too (and its in my church).

[MetalThrasher442]

Haha it is actually a great drum rug. My older kit never slid when I brought it to gigs. It really does work perfectly.

They sound alright and they aren't muffled at all. They actually do sound good, but I would like to muffle them I'm just too lazy right now. Eventually it will happen before our next gig.

[XAkitAX]

sweet set up man how do you like the cobras? and... I have that same rug for my drums lol

[Jay.B.]

I really like the finish on this beast, too large a kit for me to appreciate, but gorgeous to look at all the same.

*wipes away drool from corner of mouth*

nice one dude

MONSTER

[NY_Recording_Freak]

I miss my double bass kit, sweet set up.
Are you a tall guy? I couldnt reach half that stuff :)

[MAX ZNAEVSKY]

Hey, MetalTrasher, reeeeelly nice drums!!! one question - what are these impact pads on bass drum heads?

[mikeybbdrummin]

Very nice kit. The fade is nice. I believe you have got your moneys worth out of that snare head.
My son has that same carpet.

[MetalThrasher442]

Hey, MetalTrasher, reeeeelly nice drums!!! one question - what are these impact pads on bass drum heads?

They are Gibralter click pads. They add a little different tone to my bass' and I mainly got them at that time because I hadn't muffled my bass' yet. New pictures are coming soon. I change everything around a little bit so yeah.

Sorry the pictures are huge. So I really just changed my tom angles a little bit, muffled the toms and bass', and changed the cymbals around a bit.

Enjoy

[MetalThrasher442]

sweet set up man how do you like the cobras? and... I have that same rug for my drums lol

Cobras are fantastic. There's just so many adjusticements on the cobras to make it feel perfect for you.

Thank for the comments guys and I'm not that tall and I did move everything closer in for me last week (mainly the two bass').

[d.c.drummer]

Nice kit. But, what I really wanna thrash are those standard heads. Just jk, but again, nice kit.

[oiboiluis]

sweet kit. i love the finish. i have that carpet somewhere in the attic. how are the springs on your cobra's going? i hear they arent that good.

The springs haven't given me a probably yet so they're fine.

[oiboiluis]

cool. i might get that pedal one i save up enough.

[scarlit]

Awesome kit man! I used to have the exact same floor mat lol!

[MetalThrasher442]

Hey guys how much do you think I spent on that kit cymbals and all and not including my new snare yet or new heads.

[Mikkel]

YEAR!!!

Awesome kit, real metal kit, love it! looks great, that Z Custom ride is it good?

[MetalThrasher442]

YEAR!!!

My favorite cymbal in my collection. Sounds beautiful and I think it is great for many styles. But yeah it sounds amazing and isn't all that expensive.

[Big_Philly]

That is a nice kit! I have a superstar custom myself, and so far I love it. The snaredrum is just awesome, you should try a coated ambassador on it, and remo Powersonic on the kickdrums, that's a great skin for the kick.
I also like the scarlet fade. To me, it's the next best thing after Ocean fade ;)

[Trommur]

dude! What a coincidence! I have the exact mat under my kit, and you can see it on any of my "your Gear" threads! Anyway, Really nice kit, looks comfortable to play.
