[Raymond Bloom]

Thanks guys! It will be completely the way I like it when I add a 18'' Fierce crash or 18'' OZone crash... :-)


and a china... or two... hehehe

[TitanSound]

Great stuff Raymond! I remember when you posted up just your kit and could not wait to see it completed. Now all we need is a nice recording accompanied by a nice dirty, synth bass line :)

[bonzo49]

nice, you look to be havin a groove of a time

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

That mate, is the most single fun kit I've looked at in ages. Something about it makes me just want to sit down behind it and PLAY. I'm so envious. Roll on my small kit in bop sizes...

Seriously mate, that is a very nice collection of gear you've got there. I'm infinitely envious and happy for you at the same time.

[Benjaminbois]

THAT... is lovely. Such a nice finnish on those Sonors.

[Raymond Bloom]

thank you all for the nice coments!
It is so much fun to play this set up, plenty of sound possibilities, great sounding drums, cymbals, I wish I could play it 24/7 lol

I'm working on my live programm now, hard to say when it will be finished, but you guys will definetely be the first to know :-)

[h3r3tic]

Hey bro!
Now that's more cool!
Very nice setup you've got there, Johnny Rabb's cymbals??
WOW!!

Can't wait to know about your performances ;)
Groove on Bro :)

[h3r3tic]

Wish I could get my hands as soon as possible on Thomas Lang's cymbals - They rule too!
It'll be my next investment:)

[Disco Stu]

I dig it. Setup, drums, cymbals...it's all good.

[da cheese walks]

thangz!

ps: you set looks cool, I said it already? :)

[Class A Drummer]

That looks sweet. How much do those 8 inch drumbal cost?

[d.c.drummer]

Very nice. Do you have a snare that isn't limited edition ? = )

And get the O-Zone crash...

[enemytopublic2]

Is that pattern hammered into the top hat? or is it two cymbals stacked?

Those things look and probly sound sick.

audio?

[Raymond Bloom]

well nigga' :) loooks wonderfull!!!!

hahaha, you have the same sense of humour like me...!

pics posted on the Black Panther thread!


thanks others for the compliments!

[Stevesmithfan]

Love that set up. I just oredered a Sonor Jungle kit, that I will use for gigs only. My SQ 2 will stay at home.
I bet those smaller drums are easier to move around.
Do you like your Sonors?

man, your Sonors look soooo good! All in all, I'm really happy with this kit, it was cheap (I got a 50% discount!) and it's an upgraded 3005 version, those maple shells sound really good and it's great for gigs, it sounds awsome and I don't have to worry about it wearing out, getting scratches etc! One thing though, I'd like to have a 18'' bass drum, then I would be 100% satisfied!

I have changed my set-up since I took those pictures, now I have Sabian Fierce Prototype hats 13'' and a Fierce crash is on order, some more cymbals also...!

[ATCQ]

That's a real clean set up, probably one of the cleanest I've seen in a while man. You like JoJo Mayer? haha..

[bonzo49]

Got to love your facial expressions.

[spinupspindown]

Am thinking of buying a drumbal very soon. I'm leaning toward the 8", to give me more exposed area of the batter head of my 14" snare. Is that why you picked the 8"? Why not the 10"?

Thanks in advance!
