Describe your kit in a video!

[paradiddler]

Hi Drummerworld!

Lots of us have in our signature a description of our kits. Well, if you have a camcorder, why not describe it to us in person and in detail! I'll start off here with mine, but I'm sure you guys have a lot of great gear to show off!

Happy posting!

The Paradiddler's Kit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7NxAjIJuJQ)

Nice idea!!

I did such a kit-tour-video with my Tama Superstar some time ago but took it down because I sold the kit finally.

Then I got a custom kit built by a German drum builder (www.cube-drums.de) and made a little video about this kit and the brand "Cube Personal Drums"

Here`s the hq version:

And here`s the hd version:

Additional information: The cymbal set-up consists of 14" Istanbul Agop hats, a 21" Agop Mel Lewis ride and a 22" Agop Signature ride.

Hi Karl.

Very nicely done video. I learned from it! Great sounding drums.

Hi Trip.

You're video is really good; very descriptive. I too really like the HH 21" Dry Ride. I wrote about it briefly on my web site (To Crash/Ride Or Not to Crash Ride (http://theparadiddler.com/2009/02/10/to-crash-ride-or-not-to-crash-ride/)). It's one of three ride cymbals I'm considering, when I'm ready to upgrade. And your kit looks awesome.

Nice kit.........I've been to ritchies b4. What kind of deal did they give you? I LOVE the cymbal room there.

I did once or twice, but I change and refine my kit all the time. The videos get quickly outdated.

Any folks from MXDP may remember this:

The kit tour starts around 1:50, rest is me wanking out.

Thanks guys!!!

I should actually do another video LOL I no longer have the 21" HHBDR.. I know it's an awesome ride but I found myself putting it in the "spare" pile more than playing.. I now use 21" HHX Groove Ride or 21" AAX Memphis Ride or 22" Zildjian Dark Medium Ride.

Razor, Ritchie's is awesome indeed. Just the kit (shell pack) was roughly $1500. I bought everything else you see from GC or eBay.

How do you like the Memphis ride? How would you compare it with the Groove Ride?

[Trip McNealy]

I think it's great.. Very comparable in wash and weight. The Memphis has a brighter ping and the bell is a bit more pronounced and leans towards a "tang" sound rather than the Groove's more shimmery "ping" sound on the bell. The Memphis is also crashable. I really like it.
