George Way Cordia Walnut

14x22
8x12
16x16
6.5x14 Walnut Snare

That is one classy kit!

 

[Stroker]

Nice! This is something that’s on my radar...

Make it happen, JB. You will not regret it. The sound is extraordinaire. It's one of those cymbals you can ride and crash on, while enjoying the rich sound of a China/Swish. It truly is the most musical cymbal I have ever played.

A Ludwig Black Magic 6.5 x 14" - awesome drum, so far I'm very happy with it. Got it used for a great price!

Great snares. Mine is my main snare. I just picked up an Evans UV1 for it (my first try on this head, hope Ben was right!) (EDIT: Love it!)

Canopus neo-vintage kit that I found at the Canopus shop in Tokyo. Non-standard lugs and a lacquer finish. Sounds amazing.

Pinstripes heads in 13, 16 and 18.
I prefer Emperors by far, but the drummer who's playing for me prefers Pinstripes.

This week I bought a Mapex Tomahawk steel snare and a Saban AAX X-plosion Crash. Peace and goodwill.

I bought a Gretsch yesterday! 1981 stop sign badge: 14x10, 16x16, 18x18, 24x14 and a Gold Series bell brass snare. My dad and I had a booth for Corvettes at Carlisle this weekend and I found this kit on craigslist in West Virginia for a price I couldn't pass up, so I made a point to take the long way home. They're going to get some fresh heads and a little polishing tonight.

Does anyone have any recommendations for some spurs for this kick? It has two wimpy things that go through the shell on the batter side, and one vertical spike on the front hoop, and I really just don't trust it.

 

[JohnnyG]

Swap heads and put the wimpy thing on the reso side. With the pedal in the back and the spurs in front it shouldn't move. I assume the bass drum is vrigin.

 

[dwsabianguy]

The kick has a tom mount on the top, but I didn't get the tom arm with the drums. I ended up removing the original spurs and installed a set of Ludwig Atlas spurs on there since I didn't want to drill anything. Working great so far, but this weekend's gigs will be the true test.

I got a 50's reissue P bass and an 8 x 10 Ampeg SVT and a Genzler 800 watt class D bass amp.

I bought it for therapeutic purposes. I tune to A=432 and bask in the pants shaking bliss.

A couple of Cymbal & Gong 18s-- a Holy Grail medium ride with three rivets and a Leon Collection crash. The ride has kind of a Charli Persip with Gil Evans vibe.

C&G is a Portland brand with smiths in Turkey.

Handle for a Fibes SFT690 throw.

 

[Spud Crowley]

I just completed my set of Saluda Cymbals. 22 Ambiance ride, 14 ambiance med-thin hats, 18 ambiance medium crash and a 19 ambiance thin crash.
