Thats it for pics,Sorry. Those were the only pics I took just before I sold it. It was primarily vintage Lud's and sling's with the Leedy kick on the Right. I probably had only $3,000 invested.

Thats insane. split it in half and start a drum store. Nah just kidding! Send the other half my way.

Nice kit man, even you kit these days is insane. You are that cat with the 22x30 cannons. NOT FAIR!

I wish the pics were a little clearer but man that is one awesome monster kit!

[Neil Floyd]

Wow, that's an amazing kit...those bass drums are cannons!

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

I remember these pictures! As always, great to see the old kit again Drumsword. I must say though, I prefer your current set up.

[Sonor_Power]

WOW, that's an awesome kit, it's really huge!
One question though, how do you get to the china to the left there?

[NYdrummerdude]

I'm 6'3 with a 6'8 span, so I have a really long reach and that china was actually just over my left shoulder.

Yes, I still have the 2 cannons on my current set up and I have a link in your playing if you'd like a listen

To me, at first glance it reminded me of Gregg Bissonettes monster Yamaha kit from the Eat'em and Smile tour w/David Lee Roth.
