Sorry, I don't have a Bop kit, but is that a 24" Light ride? How do you like it for bop style music?

Nothing wrong with it put a few points,
1) It's part of a larger kit
2) I wanted a kit with an 18" bass drum (this one is 20")
3) I've got a drum problem

Sorry, I don't have a Bop kit, but is that a 24" Light ride? How do you like it for bop style music?

Tom
I love the 24" light ride, it's great for bebop and jazz. I've played it with 9 piece bands and
trios. It's very controllable.

18x16,14x14,12x8, 14x6. Since this puicture was taken, I added a rail mount and cymbal mount to eliminate the need for the extra cymbal stand, and snare stand.

Here`s my current set-up.

20x18" bass drum
12x06" tom
14x12" floor tom
14x5.5" snare drum

14" Istanbul Agop Turk Hi-Hat
21" Istanbul Agop Mel Lewis Ride (2 rivets)

A custom made kit (www.cube-drums.de) will arrive eventually. It`s gonna consist of a 18x14" bass drum, 12x08" tom and a 14x14" floor tom. A additional snare drum will be built later.

My jazz kit is a Gretsch Catalina Club sizes 26, 13, 16, 18. Great for that early stuff. I have one of those Gibraltar/Dunnett kits to turn that 18" tom into a bass as well which works fine, but I just can't stand the sound of a small kick drum. Typically I just take my 20" Zildjian "Vintage" ride (they just got discontinued a year ago) 21" Sweet Ride and 14" Armand hi-hats. Cowbells, woodblocks are also common items and occasionally a splash 8". I know the great fun that comes from really small drums and being able to transport them without issue, but personally I don't care for the sound. Now there are a lot of drummers I like that use such things, i.e. Jeff Hamilton, Peter Erskine, Max Roach but I still don't like the bop kits. My dream kit is actually a Gene Krupa styled Radio King set. My other set at home is a Mapex Pro-M kit 22,10,12,14,16 all suspended toms. I used this before I bought the Gretsch to gig with, but despite the smaller drums, it actually takes up more room and is harder to set-up. The two kits are really opposites in sound which is nice. One big and warm, and the other punchy with a lot more tone options.

I have no pictures because I am slowly getting it together. I found an ad on Craigs list, some guy was looking for Pearl tom mounting hardware and said he has stuff to trade.

So I traded 3 Pearl tom mounts, on Pearl triple clamp and an nice old TAMA / Camco pedal. Here is what I got in return.

1 - 10" Rogers Holiday tom
1 - 20" Rogers Holiday bass drum / with spurs
1 - 14" 70s Ludwig floor tom
1- SwivelMatic tom mount

I also grabbed a rogers Holiday 12" tom off ebay.

I will most likely replace the floor tom with a Rogers. I will then recover all of them to match.

It will not be a collectors kit but it will certainly be a great players kit when I am done.

Here's my 16" floor tom converted as a bass drum using the Gibraltar / Dunnett R-Class conversion kit which I received the day I took the pictures. Toms are 10" & 13", my Acrolite w/ my custom rimclick wedge and Istanbul Mehmet 13" hats and 21" Custom dry ride.

I need to get a 16" fiberskyn amb as reso though.

here's mine ... a (now ubiquitous) Gretsch Catalina Jazz. Great drums for the price with classic vibe & so easy to get around!!

12 x 8 rack tom
14 x 14 floor tom
18 x 14 kick drum
13 x 5.5 Highwood Snare with wood hoops (Rosewood/Birch ply ... very nice indeed!)

on the second picture, that's my maple Premier Modern Classic snare ... the flush based dw 6000 hardware sits really nicely with the kit too :)

Judging by the lugs, I would say SONOR.

For real. Those two kits (10/14/16 and 12/14/18...whatever they're called again) are KILLER and super-cheap!

Now, that's a terrific looking set of drums. I love the wrap. If it was mine, I would change just one little item.

Well, that's why I didn't mention it because I wasn't completely sure by your pictures. For a kit the drum sizes of yours and that's probably the exact sizes I would buy, I would have gotten "Mini-Classic Lugs" on the kit. Maybe that's what you have. For the 22", 13", 16" configuration I'd probably go for the "Classic Lugs". Just my preference and minute detail.

How's she sounding for you?

Oh, it sounds great. I even think it improved my playing overnight. :-)

It's quite possible I do have the regular size lugs on it. What are size are the "mini-classic" lugs as opposed to the regular size?
