I´m posting some pictures of my set, if u like it i´ll upload more.
hahaha, this will be a really long description.. hahaha
the drum itself is a mixture of different mapex series...
Toms:
8" V Series
10" Orion Series
12" V Series
13" V Series
16" V Series
18" Saturn Series
Bass Drum V Series
6, 8 and 10 rototoms
Snares:
1. 14x5.5 V Series Mapex
2. 14x6.0 Black Panther Babilonian Ancient Sound Snare (Special Edition)
3. 14x6.5 Black Panther Bird's Eye Maple Snare
Respect to the tune, I have my V Series Mapex in its highest possible sound, so to imitate a sort of a picolo snare. I use it for funk mainly. The Eye Maple Snare, is in a low tone in the hitting drumhead, but with high tension in the resonant, so to give a nice rocking sound. The Babilonian Ancient Sound Snare, I have it almost always as a secondary snare at the left of the hi-hat, in a middle range between both snares. I usually use this snare together with the rototoms, as if it was an other drum set, the fills that i make with my toms when using the primary snare, i make them in the rototoms, just to give a change in the tone of the drumming, but keeping the same structure. Maybe in the future I will get a real picolo, of course I'll try to get a Black Panther, so to continue the tradition, haha.
