New DW 5pc Kit w/ Gong Drum

[Madwatch]

Here is my new DW kit. It didnt arive in time for my gig on friday night but I have been playing it all weekend. It sounds great and I love the Gong drum and the Kick is awesome!
Here are the sizes DW kit in Broken Glass Wrap - 26x14 kick , 10x8 , 12x9 , 16x13 toms , 22x16 gong drum. The snare is a 13x6 pork pie that is not new.

crazy nice. I prob. would have went with bigger toms since your bass is huge but to each his own. Nice buy.

Thanks! The tom sizes work for what I do but I do like to have a fat bass sound. I will probably get a 14in tom later and move the 12 upstairs.

that is an awesome finish. how much did it cost you.

wow, the setup looks great :) you bought the floor tom and the gong bass a little bit later?cuase you have on them allready the new DW heads instead of the other two smaller toms...

Truly beautiful. That set will look wicked under lights. I hope you've got good quality cases for it.

I'm getting a gong drum soon. A timpani! :-)

Great finish on your kit. How do you like that Gong drum? It just seems like it would be fun to have a gong drum on your kit!! Nice set.

man id love a gong drum....i just have a detuned floor tom....hahaha....


marco minneman uses one of those to crazy good effect...what a man...

amazing kit and great cymbals.

do I see a swish knocker in there? Did you reverse all the rivits in order to mount it upside down "china style"?

nice gear!

That's a very interesting set-up. You have a ton of stuff on your right side, seems like the left side is being neglected a bit. Awesome drums though.

Not bad for a backup kit!
You and Fat Elvis are sparkle addicts. You should seek help.

I love the gong drum! Especially when its miced up with a kick drum mic. Just the sound I was looking for.

It does look that way..... Maybe I need more on my left.... LOL

I usually have another crash and splash on my left and a second snare to round things out.
I am also thinking about moving the gong drum to that side to change things up.

It is a 22in Swish Knocker. Its stock... I didnt have to do anything special to it. Just turn it over. It sounds amazing.

Big Bass.

Tiny Toms.

(I think Ive just made a new soulmate....)

My bass is a 22, but my toms are 10 and 13.
