Nice man! I like your setup. Do you model it after anyone else's kit?

Looks great man. I got a question for you though, what is that small stand holding up your small AAX crash in between your 2 toms?

This looks like a very well thought out set-up, everything makes sense. All the bases are covered sound-wise, plus the height and reach looks comfortable.

[Tetley]

HHX rules, lovely tone to them, love the setup, nice cymbals and tom placement,

[maxwelhouse]

Nice kit and cymbals and carpet too :P

[caprisun3484]

really cool kit
but do you ever have any trouble with your cymbals being so close and on top of each other?

No, they're not too close to each other to touch. ;)

Joe

[caprisun3484]

probably just the picture makes them look closer

What cleaner do you use on the zildjian's?

[BoxcarDrummer182]

to answer your question, i use the sabian spray. and it works on everything! from zildjian to sabian (obviously), paiste, meinl, and alchemy. there is really is no differences between the brands, but i like the spray on the sabian. oh and i have a question Trommur, how do you think the ride is on crashing, does it open easily, or is it more like crashing a brick wall?

The 22" Metal ride? It's gongy when crashed, so I would not suggest it for crash/riding ;)
I use the Trick Liquid Cleaner ;)

What cymbals did u use for low stax?
I guess...12'' wuhan china and a 14'' crash(wich one?).

How does it sound.


I also made a stax but the high one.Used 8'' alchemy mini chiny and 8'' a cusotm splash.
Sounds great.
