Wow - I love the setup.

It looks like it would be the perfect kit for studio sessions.

Like Gadd....

cheers fijjibo yea lol it really comfortable to play :)

Cool. Sonor sets look great. So any particular reason you went with Stagg? Not that I hate them or anything, in fact I've never played their cymbals. Did you have to order them or do you have stores that stock them?

[punkdrummer1]

very nice bro. How are those staggs?

[DrumGod]

Very Nice! I have a 9inch Stagg Furia Splash which i love very exotic sounding and i just got a 6inch Stagg Black Ice Bell in the mail yesterday which is quite nice little bell. I was ver yhappy them and between the 2 cymbals it cost me about 50euro.....How are your staggs???

[nhzoso]

Very nice, I see you have to dampen the toms. I have the same problem with my 3003. I love that color. What is on your sticks? looks like some type of grip tape? And what kind of lights are those they look awesome?

[CBPEAVEY]

Nice kit. I have 14", 15" and 16'' Stagg Brilliant DH Crashes. They are really nice cymbals dispite what a lot of people say (and they are pretty cheap!).

[aydee]

very sweet kit. What are Stagg cymbals like?

[matei_the_drummer]

Cheers everyone. Well in the answer to everyones questions about the Stagg's they are extremely cheap they cost me about £200 at a local drum store. They are from the DH range which means they are hand hammered, this makes them a little gongy and a little chinese sounding, they also take quite a long time to stop ringing after you have hit them. They are great cymbals though! I love sonor drums as well they sound great look wicked and there hardware is strong and easily positionable. Nhzoso, i dont really have to dampen the toms they sound great with out but when im practicing at home its best to dampen them up a bit when i gig and stuff i take em off. The colour is lovely isnt it my dream colour i always wanted it! On my sticks is Vater grip tape its bloody lovely loads of grip but also changes the balance of the stick slightly which feels really good. They are blue led lights that we got from a local shop cool arnt they! Well cheers guys, more comments welcome!

Sweet KIT!! Love the Blue lights. lol i had to look twice at the heads because the i didnt know that was muffling.

[drumr0]

Very nice setup. I too have no experience with Stagg cymbals, but would love to hear them. The blue lights are awesome. Do you practice with them on or are those for gigs? Neat effect! Nice kit!!

Cheers bout the lights guys cool arnt they! Staggs are great cymbals i did a gig last night and realised again how nice my drums and cymbals actually sound! The lights are just at home for a feature for my room my dad built me a stage, the idea was that it was meant to help dull the sound a bit, it does a bit but not as much as we hoped but the lights look damn cool!

Cheers More Comments! lol Matt

[matei_the_drummer]

Any more comments? sorry 2 be a pain in the butt, please. Matt

[PineyplayParadiddles]

Cool kit, I'll second what Fijjibo said about the setup, and the finish looks pretty sweet. Sonor makes some really nice sounding drums!

[Trigger]
