Brian Blade Drum Specs

[robertfordwins]

Hey, everybody, I'm fairly new to this forum. I'm a jazz percussion major in massachusetts, slowly gearing up to purchase a new drum set, so I'm looking into some different set ups.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knows, or could ballpark, the size of this man's drums:

I already have the cymbals, so I figured I might as well consider going full-on brian blade poseur.

Oh, and if you haven't checked it out, Wayne Shorter "Breaking the Sound Barrier" is kinda the "stuff."

Only information i can give, you, the bass looks like a 16x16. Snare probably 61/2 deep. 14 inch floor tom. Dont know anything else, and thats just guesstimations.

Welcome to the forum!

I'd guess from that pic a 16" kick, 14" snare, 12" rack tom and 14" floor tom.

Im guessing 16 bass, 12 tom, 14 x 6.5 snare, 14 floor.

Yes, it is 16" kick, 12", 14" toms and a 14"x6" snare drum...I think, but I`m pretty sure.

BTW I have to say that I truly LOVE his line-up!! What cymbals does he use?? they look biiig, I`d feel like in heaven on that kit!
