i have no idea what model it is (i aquired it from a friend)

i do know the bass drum is 20

left tom 12

floor tom 14

snare 14 by 5

my cymbals are zildjian zbt 20 ride

sabian b8 20 ride with a rattler

sabian xs 18 crash ride and xs 14 hi hats

i also use a hihat jingler from factory metal... and i also use a second one from time to time or mount celtic bells with the rattles on on topf other cymbals as i see fit.

i use hydraulic heads for the toms and an extra dry for the snare

i usually play steve gadd sticks... but for this gig... where it was a big event and i would toss sticks everywhere... i used the store brand el cheapo sticks :)

Looks like a pretty decent set. The pics are blurry though, but from what I can make out it seems pretty comfortable. Although I dont prefer the B8 ride, the hi-hat makes up for some of it..; ) Premier......good company, had a pedal from them and it stayed sturdy for well over 25 years. Anyway, nice set and if you can get better pics, It would probably look even more better than it does already! : )

Peace

hey guys! thank you for the comments~!

i prefer K cymbals... but there is a bit of a cash flow issue... :)

i DO have a job, but sadly, drumming takes a side step to producing my band's ep's, promotions, and guitar equipment for the common men (i drum for razorblade monalisa)

the hihat jingler works VERY well... but sometimes i find it a bit too subtle. i have considered buying another one and seeing how it works out...

i also apologize for the REALLY blurry photos...

my cash flow issue also relates to most forms of modern technology... i don't even have a digital camera yet :)

and once i get enough money... it becomes an issue of... digital camera...? or new music gear? i wonder who wins EVERY time :)

i really wish i knew the model, as when i was restoring it... i found no identifying markings on it as to what kind of model it was...

i'm thinking of getting a gigging drumkit and keeping this one home for recording... as i love how it sounds recorded AND i'd like a slightly less expensive one to gig with... i'm a violent player...
