...Hola dot comrades.

Webshots has made it easier for me to bore you with pics of my kits, so here goes.

...Thanks Safteyhelmetkid

Specs the white marine pearl sizes are 24x16, 13x9, 16x16, with a 14x6 edge snare.

The black oyster kit is 22x16, 13x9, 16x14, with a 14x6 maple snare.

I have a pile of different cymbals that I mix and match, but my favorites are a 20" Manhattan ride, 14" HH dark hats, 16" HH thin, and 17" HHXtreme crash.

I love the flat based hardware, especially with the black oyster kit. When I play those drums, I feel like I am back in the sixties, rather than closing in on my sixties.

Will Calhoun held a clinic in Edmonton last fall. It was my first clinic, and you are right, Will is a monster. After the show he was gracious enough to sign my cymbal for me.

My drums have changed a little since these pics were taken.

Dude sweet kits!! Love the lugs on the white one.

How do you like the dw5000 single pedal? I think i might get rid of a double pedal for it.

[harryconway]

2 really nice kits. And agreed Will Calhoun is a monster player and a very cool cat. Quite inspirational to me (his Jungle Funk stuff).

...I just picked up a new digital camera so I thought I would take some pics of my DW/Sonor kit.

The bass is an older Keller shelled 20x16 cherry black burst. The toms are force 3005 special edition (Long & McQuade 50th anniversary edition) 10x8 and 14x14 in a birdseye maple cherry finish. The snare is a 13x5.5 craviotto in ebony satin.

The cymbals, 20" Manhattan ride, (love those pre HHX Manhattans), 14" Manhattan hats, 18" AAXplosion, and 18" Legacy crashes.

I put the bass mounted cymbal arm and holder together out of stray parts, and have one similar to it on the22x16" black oyster bass drum as well.

As I have said in previouse posts, I love DW harware as it is so versatile and lends itself quite well for modification, and all around tinkerability. Also, being the packrat that I am, my odds and ends pile has become a big box of drummers leggo.

Thank you for allowing me this indulgence.

Nice pics,laddie. Needless to say since I am also closing in on my sixties,I like the oyster pearl DW kit; this kit seems to be more "genuinely black oyster" than my own modern-day Ludwig kit,but I think the sizes of yours are the same as mine,excepting the floor tom. I like DW alot. Had I not spotted my Ludwig kit at Guitar Centre,I would've bought a set of DWs. Thank you for showing off,great kits....

beautiful stuff! classy and comfortable looking set-ups. Kudos to another DW man! :)

[d.c.drummer]

Nice sets all around. I think he DW/ Sonor is my favoite. You would never guess it was made of different types of drums.
