This might not be a 'monster' kit amoung true 'monster' kits but for me it's big enough - I usually play a 4pc kit.
This is what my Purewood African Mahogany 6pc Gretsch kit evolved to a couple of years after I bought it. I bought it new in 2007 - one of only two shellpacks available to Canada. They had to be ordered/sent from the Factory in Taiwan. There were only 60 shellpacks made for world-wide sale. They are incredibley nice drums and I stack them up to Gretsch Custom USA any day....I can say that because I have a new Custom USA kit and three Vintage Gretsch kits.
The photo was taken in 2009 - I don't have the rack (Gibraltar DBL Bass Rack) I traded it for some new Gibraltar Jazz Series stands and I love them.
I added the Remo Roto toms that I've had since I bought them new in the early 70's - 12/10/8 and I added a 6 a couple of years ago. The lighter drum on the far right is a Gretsch Mighty Mini snare.
My "Little" Monster Kit............
That's a beautiful kit, but it's really not Monster. To me, that's 9 pieces and up. 5 to 8 is mid sized.
The first kit is me in the mid 70s. Numerous random brands, stripped and covered in white Mac tac (Self adhesive shelf paper) with a hand drawn design K went through countless black magic markers and it took forever lol). The second kit is my current precious. Monolith fiberglass kit, 14x5 1/2 snare, 8x8, 8x10, 10x10, 12x12, 13x13, 14x14, 16x16 toms, 20x20 kick, and 4 medium off brand Octabons for fun . Just love viewing and learning about all these kits. Thanks much to all who have sharedI love seeing people's big kits, so please post some pics of yours!
I have the same ottoman.Here's mine
The finish is gorgeous!Its not really a monster in my book, but it is 7 piece...
8x7, 10x7, 12x8, 14x12, 16x14, 22x20, with 14x5.5 Black Panther steel snare, pearl rack (2 sides only), Zildjian A Custom 14" Mastersound hats, 18, 19 crashes, 22" Z3 Medium Heavy ride, 18 Oriental China, 10 A splash, pearl eliminator double pedal, Mapex 950A HiHat stand.
