Hey there everyone, been lurking for a while and finally decided to join in the fun... here's my humble kit and collection, almost all of which has come from the electronicBay.
From what I've gathered, it's an early to mid-eighties Tama Swingstar which is in good nick; the previous owner cut out holes in the bottom skins (!) which I haven't had the time, money or reason to replace as of yet, but I'm running EC2s on the batters.
Vital information:
14" x 6.5" Tama Metalworks snare
12", 13" and 16" toms - all of which look to be square
22" kick
Tambourine (not currently mounted)
Cowbell (not currently mounted)
LP jam block
Cymbals are a mixture:
8" self-cut brass splash on top of a 9" Sabian SR2 splash
10" UFiP Rough splash
14" HHX Evolution hats
14" Zildjian Paper Thin crash
16" UFiP Class crash
18" UFiP Extatic crash
21" Istanbul Mehmet Traditional ride, custom made and designed to my specs
Also, I have a 20" Meinl Sand Ride which I somehow won in a raffle at a Benny Greb clinic, and miscellaneous other things.
Oh, and to prove I'm not a cymbal junkie (yeah, right) here's a pic of the setup I gigged with last night:
Anyway, thanks for stopping by... I look forward to contributing to discussions here and learning from the community.
