who has the biggest kit?

[peanut23s]

im not even going to put mine forward but would be nice to see some massive kits rivaling the likes of terry bozzio etc

[Drumsword]

Luis Cardenas had a Huge set in then 80's at one point boasting one of every size and style ludwig made at the time, and AJ Pero as well had a Monster of aset with 4 bass drums, 9 power toms, 4 floor toms and abt 30 cymbals.

Here is a link to a video with Luis Cardenas, as well a similar thread here:

I also threw in a pic of one of my old sets from 4 or 5 years ago. Nowhere close to bozzio's but I had fun with it.

I'd heard a guy called Johnny Holmes had the biggest kit.

Dear drummers,

One of them is Alex Van Halen, take a look on his drum-set in Diverdown album, was surprisingly and astonishing.

All the Best.

One of Alex Van Halen's bass-drums of his four bass drum stage setup was converted into a drinks cooler/cabinet to use on stage......I kid you not.

That is a beautiful site my friend! But I have to ask, that tom and cymbal all the way to the left /center of the set, looks a little unreachable or at least uncomfortable to be trying to play! A midi- component, maybe?I see some stick marks on it though. Anyone know? (i see the bd there too, btw)

I think thats the stand up side of Tony's kit (Just like Teddy and Brian (who was first with this thing)

Portnoy in that video of him playing "Hells Kitchen" on his page her on drummerworld is pretty nuts. All those cymbals.

[CASP3Rdrummer]

I dont think there is a set "record" but i havent seen one bigger.

[Fur drummer]

According to the Guinness Book of World Records the largest drum kit ever played was by Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It had 308 pieces.

Hello, dear colleagues.

See below pictures of Alex Van Halen drum-set plus bonus. Either one of the biggest or set the benchmark for others.

Thanks & Regards,
