Pacific LX Ultraviolet, 10, 12, 14 with the 12x5 porkpie lil squeeler on there, also have a Ddrum 13x7 that a lug broke on so its not setup, the 12'' pork is normally my side snare although it does well as a main.

Cymbals, 14'' Acustom hats, 10'' Saluda mist x splash, 12'' Saluda earthworks splash (prefer this one), 14 Acustom fast crash, 16'' Acustom crash, 18'' Acustom Projection crash (going to change prob to a fast crash though, its too heavy for my current genre), 20'' Acustom med ride, 16'' Saluda Voodoo brilliant china, 8'' Meinl powerful bell

been moving my ride position for i plan on getting a 8'' and 16'' tom soon, so that kinda shifted some stuff, just got the 12'' splash and that is where my bell used to be so now im experimenting with its location.

Thanks for checking it out.

Edit: (photos were taken on my phone sorry about the quality)

Great looking kit. That splash looks really nice. Does the A Custom Ride make a lot of overtones? Like would it be ok for jazz or latin? Just wondering because I've never heard one.

ya good deal of overtones, not too many for my liking, works really well with what i play with my bands and the little that i play on the worship team at my church, but for jazz this cymbal is not ideal

Do you like A Customs by any chance?

Great looking kit, I don't think you'll be needing an upgrade for a while. Is it just me or are your cymbals placed really high?

im 6'2'' with a 28'' arm reach , so it may look high but its perfect for me.

try this angle though from around my china side

Edit: and i love my a customs, i can play them in almost any genre (all the ones i play personally, not into jazz yet, but jambands, rock, heavy rock, acoustic davematthews style, all that junk)
